The nearest airport is La Crosse Municipal Airport. From the intersection of US Highway 90 and Wisconsin 35, just east of the beautiful Mississippi River that forms this part of the Minnesota-Wisconsin border, go north on 35 into Onalaska, following the river. Turn east (right) on Riders Club Road and look for the Omni Center. If you are heading west on 90, you can turn north on 53 and drive a short distance to the Sand Lake Road exit. Turn right on Sand Lake Road and go north about 0.4 miles to Riders Club Road, turning west (left) onto Riders Club Road (just before the Sand Lake Veterinary Clinic). Drive about 1.1 miles and look for the Omni Center on your right.
The show hall is climate-controlled, wheelchair-accessible, with free parking. No smoking is permitted in the show hall.
Blocks of rooms are reserved at the following motels. We have negotiated group rates at some of them, so be sure to mention Coulee Region Cat Club to get one of the group rate rooms. Some of them are on Second Avenue North, which is the same as Wisconsin Highway 35. Rooms are at a premium in the LaCrosse area this weekend, so make your reservations early.
