Jet Blast 2019 – Sponsored by Jet-Lift

Thursday May 30, 2019 – Sunday June 2, 2019

BELOW IS JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW TO ATTEND!!

Holiday Shores Campground and Resort

3901 River Rd, Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin 53965

Welcome to the 8th annual freeride hosted by the Badgerland Jet Pilots and sponsored by Jet-Lift and others, aka = Jet Blast 2019 (JB19).*Official dates are Thursday May 30th through Sunday June 2nd, 2019, but feel free to show up earlier, as many people will.

We will be returning to Holiday Shores in the upper Dells again, and they are ready to start taking reservations. Our special discounts and reservation details will be posted below.

There will be campsites set aside for parking excess vehicles and trailers.

If you are registered for the event through me, and your scooter has a license plate (is road legal), AND you can behave responsibly on it = talk to me about permission to bring it.

Still working on the ATV deal. Hoping to get permission for 2 or 3, to be used strictly for moving skis. Contact me if you wish to bring an ATV, and I will keep you posted.

The Pavilion is ours for the entire event. I’m working on getting bonfires planned in the huge bonfire ring next to the Pavilion.

The Campfire Poker Run was a nice change of pace for the past couple of years, but the growth we’ve experienced, and additional growth expected in 2019 means that it just won’t be realisitc for JB19. We’re going back to a raffle, but I have plans to keep it REALLY fast and REALLY simple = you won’t even have to write your name on the tickets. As usual, this will be held Saturday night in the Pavilion, time will be posted later.

Booking your accomodations is done directly with the campground. Your event regisgtration is purchased directly through me, at psucharski@tds.net. $30/per person (adult), same as 2018. Just like in previous years, contact me with the names and cell numbers of everyone in your group, then send me the payment (PERSONAL PAYMENTS ONLY, please), via Paypal, to psucharski@tds.net, THANKS!!

SPECIAL INCENTIVE for 2019:
The JB19 event registration is again $30 per person. This gets you entered automatically into the raffle, scooter permission, access to the rental/campground discounts, boat launch/ski beaching permission (even in the swim area – which will be removed for BJP use only), permission to park trailers/skis at the campsites, access to the Pavilion, and probably some other things I’m forgetting.*
But here is the special incentive =
1) All paid JB19 registrations received by November 1st, 2018 receive THREE raffle tickets.
2) All paid JB19 registrations received after 11/1/18 but before March 1st, 2019 receive TWO raffle tickets.
3) All other paid JB19 registrations receive ONE raffle ticket.

Raffle tickets can be used for the General OR the Grand Prize drawing, your choice. Additional raffle tickets will be available for sale at the event = $20 each or 4 for $60.

As always, we will continue to support the CWCAC Food Pantry and Outreach Organization in the Dells. According to the latest report I got from Fred Hebert, our BJP running total is $24,250!!! Let’s keep it going, folks 

This section of the HS map shows the camping area being set aside just for the BJPs and JB19. Basically sites 1-58 and the lettered rustic sites. Yellow numbered sites have water and electric. Blue have electric.

Here are the JB19 rates:

Camping:
$18 per person per night OR you can book as a “family” and simply pay $40 per night for a full campsite.

Sites 1-58 are all ours, except for site #1, which is way on the south corner on the river. Apparently a gentleman has been taking that site during our weekend for many years now. Alice is going to see if he is willing to move, but she won’t force him. Regardless, he will be on the quiet end of our area.

The beach is at the north end of our area. I’ve gotten some requests for “quiet” areas. The map doesn’t show it, but our camping area is huge and it is tiered into multiple levels. The late night parties tend to happen closer to the beach, at the north end. If you prefer a more quiet atmosphere, choose a site at the south end of the camping area. Or, the Park Models, Motel Units, and Guest Cabins are great if you want more privacy and less party noise.

Park Models:
With covered deck = $110/night, 4 people max
With screened deck = $120/night, 4 people max

Motel Units:
10 nearest the office = $65/night, 4 people mix
6 brand new ones in the meadows = $75/night, 4 people max

Guest Houses = $50/night, 4 people max

I will be planning on us using any empty campsites in our area for parking. Expect to pay the $2/daily fees for whatever you declare, so you will need to pay for and get windshield tags for all extra vehicles.
