We will meet in the parking lot and then proceed into the Village promptly at 9:00 AM. This weekend the Good Guys Car Show will also be at the State Fairgrounds so you need to enter from the 17th Avenue Exit off I-71, turn west and keep to the far right. As you enter the fairgrounds off 17th Ave, turn right into the parking area for the Ohio Historical Center. If anyone asks tell them what you are there for and you should not have to pay for parking. We invite all members of Linden Lodge to come out and see the degree work being done in this unique setting.
