Flag day tour for members new to tours
All “new to tour” members are invited to a special “Flag Day” tour on Sunday June 14, 2026. If you have not participated in a club tour before, this event is for you! We will be taking a morning drive through Ozaukee county (including thru Waubeka WI - the birthplace of Flag day) and end at the Tulip Cafe in Port Washington for a buffet lunch.
If you have been curious about tours and would like to learn more about what they’re all about, we would love to have you join us for this tour designed specifically for you. We will explain the rules, provide turn-by-turn instructions, as well as take a few twisty roads to help you enjoy the drive.
.The tour will start behind city hall in downtown Cedarburg. We will have a driver meeting at 9:15 a.m. and then depart at 9:30 a.m. The total drive may take up to 3 hours - allotting for a 20-minute rest stop in Plymouth around 11 a.m. We will hit some roads in the northern Kettle Moraine area, as well as some favorite local roads from our many tours through this area. We should arrive at the Tulip Cafe by 12:30 p.m.
The registration will be open on Motorsportreg.com on May 14, 2026. We will have a total of 20 cars on the tour, three of which will be tour veterans (the “leader,” the “mid” and the “sweep” positions), meaning 17 slots will be prioritized for “new to tour” members. However, we will only keep these slots reserved through Sunday May 31, at which point we will open it to the club to fill the event if needed. In the event we have a sell out ahead of our deadlines, we will start a waiting list.
As we are hoping to encourage “new to tour” participation, the cost is $15 per person which includes lunch.
Fun fact: Grade school teacher, Bernard Cigrand, is considered the “father of Flag day” when he held a formal recognition in 1885 at Waubeka’s Stony Hill School on the anniversary date that the Continental Congress adopted the “Stars and Stripes.” Cigrand went on to advocate for a formal holiday with nearly 2,200 speeches under his belt promoting the significance of our national flag. Woodrow Wilson officially declared June 14 as “Flag day” in 1916. Note our tour will turn onto Cigrand Drive as we pass through the southern edge of Waubeka and pass by Stony Hill school a little bit later.
