Activities in close proximity to the campground include:

Keeneland Spring Meet https://www.keeneland.com/racing If you haven't seen Thoroughbred horse racing in person it's well worth the time. Some of us plan on going on Thursday leaving the campground between 10:30 and 11am. All are welcome to join us!

Kentucky Bourbon Trail http://kybourbontrail.com/ Tours of distilleries (including sampling if you care to imbibe). This is very interesting even if you're not a bourbon drinker.

Toyota Georgetown Plant Tour http://toyotaky.com/tour.asp This one hour tour will show you how Toyota builds 2000 cars each day.
Reservations made for 30 people to tour Friday morning at 9:30.

Great place to have a rally. The campground has a huge covered staged area for assembly and there is so much to due in the area. If you want to go to the Toyota plant for a tour, book early. They fill up quickly. And the Bourbon Trail is alot of fun. Unfortunately we have a conflict and won't be able to come .

Besides going to a race at Keeneland, some other items to do include:

Visit Old Friends to feed carrots to the retired thoroughbreds.

Not officially a Bourbon Trail stop, but Buffalo Trace distillery in Frankfort is a great trip to make.

Another interesting side trip is to head over to Keeneland at oh-dark-thirty and watch them warm up the horses. You pretty much have the run of the place and can rub elbows with various owners and trainers. Fun photography trip, as well. The dogwoods and redbuds are usually both in full bloom mid- to late-April. They also have guided tours a couple days a week.

The Kentucky Horse Park is pretty close, as well. Makes a fun day excursion.

Are any group events in the works for this event or are we are on own with that?

 

[NWILSON]

It's difficult to make plans for some things (like touring the Toyota factory) without having a good estimation of the number attending. But group activities like the Bourbon Trail and Keeneland will kind of organize themselves if someone posts that they would like to do it.
That said, I will be setting up a tour of the Georgetown Toyota factory for (Apr 21) Friday and ask anyone wishing to go to just let me know.

I'm not a golfer but I know there are a number of courses in close proximity so if anyone wants to set up an outing that will be great too.

We'll provide the meat for a pot luck on Saturday evening and also host a continental breakfast on Sunday morning.

I'm expecting to add to this list as we get a bit closer and welcome any suggestions!

And a quick update:
Reservations have been made for 30 people to tour the Toyota factory on Friday 4/21 at 9:30am.
It's just a few minute drive from the campground and there is no charge for the tour. The tour is given by tram so anyone concerned about walking it shouldn't be a problem.

Ok thank you. The plant tour is one of the things we wanted to do. Looking forward to coming to this.
