On June 16th and 17th, we invite you to get a taste of the Stevens Point area! Join us in the center of it all, during the 5th Annual MPI/WSAE golf outing, in Stevens Point, Wisconsin.

The event kicks off with a reception hosted by the Stevens Point Area Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Holiday Inn Hotel Hotel and Convention Center Wednesday night June 16th. The Holiday Inn is Stevens Point’s newest hotel and convention center and offers 38,000 square feet of flexible meeting space. The opening reception will feature great company, fabulous food, chilled beverages and live entertainment.

Thursday, golfers will be welcomed at the SentryWorld golf course, a par 72, 6,951-yard public course with 35 acres of spring-fed lakes, native birch, green pines and five acres of flowerbeds. SentryWorld's signature hole is the distinctive 173-yard, par 3, No. 16. It is known as the "Flower Hole" with over 45,000 blooming flowers. Designed in 1982, by world-famous architect Robert Trent Jones, Jr., SentryWorld consistently ranks as one of Wisconsin’s best courses by Golf Digest, Golf World and the Golf Course Owners of Wisconsin. To reserve a spot for the golf outing at SentryWorld on June 17th, it is just $99 per person and includes a cart, boxed lunch and a pre and post event reception.

If you would rather savor your time off of the golf course, the Stevens Point Area Convention & Visitors Bureau invites you to join us on the ‘Taste of Point’ tour. The event will start in the lobby of the Holiday Inn Hotel & Convention Center at 9:00 a.m. A complimentary shuttle will take you to the fifth-oldest continuously operated brewery, the Stevens Point Brewery, for a guided tour and samples. The tasting will continue as we enjoy a chef demonstration, followed by lunch along the Wisconsin River, prepared by Chef Christian Czerwonka of Christian’s Bistro. Czerwonka worked for Celebri-chef Emeril Lagasse for 15 years before opening his own restaurant locally. Non-golfers can then explore the charms of downtown Stevens Point. Specialty shopping, art offerings, taverns, kayak demos and live music will round out the afternoon. Guided maps for downtown Stevens Point, with special discounts will be provided. Non-golfers can join the ‘Taste of Point’ tour for just $59  per person.

If you would like to sponsor the event, to showcase your business to the Wisconsin Chapter of Meeting Professionals & Wisconsin Society of Executives, contact Sara Brish at 715-344-2556 or via email at sara@stevenspointarea.com.
