Event: Cruise to Hopkins Inn and Brunch
When: Sunday July 11th 2010 Arriving at Noon
Where: http://www.thehopkinsinn.com/
Cost: $30pp ($50 actual cost, subsidized by the club. :2tu:)

As the event gets closer, we'll post up meeting spots. This is always a scenic and fun cruise. The menu will be the same as last year.

Sitting high above the northern shore of Lake Waramaug, the Hopkins Inn has welcomed travelers since 1847. Guests enjoy expansive views of the lake, the Berkshire foothills, and neighboring vineyards from the dining areas and guest rooms. In addition, guests have access to the waters of the lake through the Hopkins Inn beach, located a short distance from the inn. Adirondack chairs on the lawn provide a pleasant afternoon's rest and are just steps above the sandy shoreline. Hopkins Inn is renowned for its restaurant which specializes in contemporary Austrian cuisine and its award winning Wiener schnitzel.
