Come to the Mid-Winter “Convertible Optional” Members’ Party!

WINTER SCHMINTER – Time to Party! The world’s greatest, friendliest, most fun-loving open-air touring group cordially invites you to extend New Year Celebration to the end of the month! Yes, it’s the sixth annual OpenAir Conditioner! We organized this “laid back” OAC indoor cold weather festival because our seasoned touring-pros said 12 months between convertible family get-togethers was just way too long. It’s a chance to hang-out, swap road stories, tell tales, catch-up with OAC friends, welcome new members, plan summer outings, learn where OpenAir Classic VII will be headquartered and get first shot at the prime hotel reservations for August 16-19, 2012.

TWENTY YEARS ON THE ROAD! Highway hardened veterans who’ve been touring with us for years, know that this tour will mark twenty years of open-air touring. It started with the old Wisconsin Convertible Classics of 1993-2005 and hit a higher gear with the new OpenAir Classic Tours starting in 2006. Your OAC Crew has noted that some members like to arrange a friendly wager on “where we’ll go this year.” Though we don’t get involved in that, we do offer some advice: If you’re betting on destinations, although we had a great time, it’s not Madison, southwest Wisconsin, or Eau Claire. Yes, we loved those places, but we’re eager to ramble new roads. We’ve found more spectacular vistas, twisty turns, wide-open spaces, friendly natives and bucket-list check-offs for the 2012 tour. We’ve vowed that this tour will be one of the best ever, so we hope you’ll join us to hear the news January 28 th and have the opportunity to book your rooms in the headquarters hotel!

Your OAC crew has been working hard, making lists, checking check-points, arranging hotels and preparing for the best OpenAir Classic ever. Madison was outstanding in 2011. They set high marks for hospitality, fantastic roads, comfortable quarters and all-around touring fun. It will be a tough act to follow, but we promise there’ll be nothing less in 2012!

We’re nearly ready to lift the curtain so be there January 28th to lead the charge!

Celebrate Winter at the OpenAir Conditioner VI ! – January 27-29, 2012

By popular demand, the 2012 OpenAir Conditioner will again be held in “Madtown USA” – Madison, Wisconsin. The headquarters is again the top-rated Madison Concourse Hotel and Governor’s Club (http://www.concoursehotel.com).

You won’t finda better value in accommodations than the top-rated Madison Concourse Hotel and Governor’s Club. It’s set in the heart of Madison, just off the Capitol Square, near shopping, museums, night-life, one-of-a-kind shops, great dining and State Street. Party like a Congressman in our special block of rooms in the posh Governor’s Club for $117 (plus tax) per night, parking included. These are special OAC rates. No one beats them!

The swanky Governor’s Club includes complimentary cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, desserts and continental breakfast in the private lounge overlooking the Capitol. Don’t be surprised to rub elbows with prominent officials, sports stars, celebrities and VIPs (like us!) Ask anyone who was there the last few years - at these rates you’d be crazy to stay home! Ask for the OpenAir Conditioner rate. Ph: 608-257-6000.

Ask for the OpenAir Conditioner rate.
Hurry our OAC block rate expires after January 3, 2012!

We’re delighted to see many of you are already booked…and there are limited rooms available.
Don’t wait or you could be disappointed!
