The organizers of WISSA 2015 have offered one free night of accommodation and breakfast to a few folks to register now on http://www.wissa2015.com/
The offer was for "the next 10 registrants" but that was 3 days ago, and I know one who has already registered to get the savings.
The Retlaw Plaza Hotel has offered VERY favorable rates to WISSA participants. Here is a link to their site http://www.retlawhotel.com/
The team in Fond du Lac is really working hard to welcome WISSA racers.
SEE YOU ON THE ICE!

Get ready for big winds, and BIG ice!!!
