COM Cruises
This year COM will be hosting two cruises. These are open to Club members and others, and no restrictions on the make of vehicles. Each will start near a McDonald’s, include interesting stops, and end at a bar/restaurant near the starting location. Routes will be roughly 100-120 miles, and each will last about 4 hours, including the stops at destinations along the way. We are asking for a $5 per car donation to cover costs of route set-up and printing. Participants will sign waivers and get Route Directions at the start. These are Cruises/Caravans, and are not competitive events. Flyers for each will be posted below.

We’ll visit Minnesota’s Largest Candy Store (and so much more), and an orchard near Jordan, Minnesota. The store simply defies adequate description, but let’s say thousands of candies, hundreds of soft drink brands, fresh produce and baked goods, music, and lots of other items from your childhood. Meet at 8:30am to sign waivers and get Directions near the McDonald’s just SE of Canterbury Park (3990 12th Ave. E, Shakopee, west side of Canterbury Rd. just north of Hwy 169). We’ll cruise to Jordan and visit the candy store and an orchard, and then caravan back to the Muddy Cow (1244 Canterbury Rd., Shakopee), a block from the starting point. Muddy Cow features all the typical sports bar aps and sandwiches plus meals, and always has pizza and beer “Two for One” priced.
Meet: 8:30am to sign waivers and get route directions
