| Directions to the event There is a good deal of road construction going on in Vermillion at this time so we ask that you review the map and directions. The construction is taking place on Cherry Street from Dakota street to the west edge of town. Coming from the east on Hwy 50: If you are coming in from the east you should have no problem getting to the event if you take either Crawford Road or Plum Street south to Main Street. Once you are on main just head west and you won’t be able to miss us downtown. Coming from the West on Hwy 50: While the road on Cherry Street is still passable for most cars, if you are pulling a trailer or are driving a classic car you may want to consider taking one of two alternate routes. The easiest would be to take the business district exit that will head you directly downtown. Make sure to turn right on the Main Street exit that runs pass the Winery. The other route is marked on our map. If you happen to come in on the Hwy 50 bypass, turn south on Princeton Street right before Wal-Mart go to Cherry street and take a left at the stop light, go east 1 block to High Street and head south and you will find us from there. Coming from the north on Hwy 19: You will not be able to cross Cherry Street on Hwy 19 so we recommend taking a left on Hwy 50 and them a right on Princeton in front of Wal-Mart, continue to Cherry street and take a left at the stop light, go east 1 block to High Street and head south and you will find us from there. Our Nebraska visitors: If you are crossing our new Missouri River bridge on Hwy 19, take a right when you reach Hwy 50 and take another right at the "Y" intersection at Main Street, follow Main Street east until you see our big tent. |
