The Chicago Region hopes you'll join us for the Toy Trains and Wine spring tour - a fun day of driving through northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin on some of the most scenic backroads there are to enjoy. This G.O.A.T.S. (Get Out and Tour Series) event includes a stop at the Toy Train Barn in Argyle, Wis., where you can view the large train display. Admission to the Barn is included in your registration fee, complements of Chicago Region.

If you’ve never been on a G.O.A.T.S. tour, they are non-competitive, fun drives on public roads with a navigator guiding the driver from printed instructions. This tour's 100-mile route features twists, turns, elevation changes and rural scenery and ends at Hawks Mill Winery in Browntown, Wis., where we will meet for a light lunch and some socializing.

The entry fee for members is $25; for non-members, it is $45, which includes an SCCA weekend membership. All cars must have a driver and a navigator. Navigators must have an SCCA membership, whether that is a full, weekend or trial membership. See details below.

Pre-event registration is required. The entry deadline is midnight Wednesday, May 28.

Check-in on May 31 will be at the Flying J Travel Center, 16049 Willowbrook Rd. South Beloit, IL. 61080 (the northwest corner of I-90 /39 and Illinois Rt. 75) by the Denny’s Restaurant. Check-in opens at 9:00 a.m., with the first car off promptly at 10:00 a.m.
