As Kelly said before be there at 10:45 Sunday morning. Ladies, this is a 30-45 minutes drive depending on where you are coming from, I would give yourself 45 minutes in case you get lost. Beneath are further, more detailed directions to Vernon, for it is somewhat complicated if it's you're first time getting out there.

Therefore:

Directions to Vernon

Take the route you would to Minooka, Hwy 164.. sooo:

Take Greenfield Ave, or Bluemound going WEST (towards Majestic/Skateland, from Brookfield)

When the split comes up stay on the Hwy 164 side, so a SLIGHT LEFT (towards Oscars, from Brookfield)

Continue down this, keep your eye out for the Hwy 164 turn off sign, you will have to turn LEFT (this will come after a bunch of white and blue flags, don’t be confused ahead are a bunch of white and blue flags, so I guess, in between some white and blue flag car dealerships, you should know this intersection for it’s on the way to Minooka, it’s also called the East-Side Bypass if that helps anyone)

Continue down Hwy 164, go past Broadway Street, go past Racine Ave, go past Sunset Drive, the road will take a big curve to the right and then the next set of lights (or so I think, 90% sure) Hwy 164 turns off again, turn LEFT again. (it’s a big four way, four lane intersection, guys were starting to get out in the middle of nowhere and there are not really many landmarks, it’s called S East Ave or Country Rd F, if you hit Oakdale you’ve gone too far).

You should be heading south, you will be on this road for a bit. Continue driving past Lawnsdale Rd, past Townline Rd, you will take a slight curve to the left, you will reach an intersection. Turn RIGHT on County Rd ES / National Ave. (You will pass a Citgo Gas Station, which will be on your left just before the turn, up ahead you will see the I-43 highway bridge, if you go under a bridge, turn around).

You will not be on County Rd ES / National Ave for too long, the next main road (keep in mind you are not in a town, you are in the middle of nowhere, this intersection doesn’t have street lights, look for the road sign!) you will be taking a LEFT, that is a LEFT on Center Drive. (We have hit butt nowhere and there are no landmarks, it isn’t hard to miss).

Now, enjoy the scenery, for you have a bit of a drive, you will pass the I-43 highway, going over it I believe, and then continue on in the mist of farmland and nature. You will pass some cornfields, and will go passed the main, non-city like, intersection of Edgewood Rd and Center, continue on Center Drive.

Soon on your LEFT will be Vernon Park, it has a white gate at the entrance, hopefully you won’t miss it.

Park the car, gear up and get pumped!

If you get lost, call someone, or stop at a gas station, underclassmen ask upperclassmen for rides!
