The International Crane Foundation’s headquarters are just ten minutes from the Ho Chunk

Convention Center and Resort. Visit to learn about the world’s cranes; it is the only place in

the world with all 15 species. The Crane Foundation has agreed to open especially for the

GFWC-WI Women before its regular season opens. Viewing the cranes is all handicap

accessible, and we will go, rain or shine. There will be a personal guided tour and afterward

there will be time to walk the nature trails and browse the gift shop. We will carpool from the

hotel, leaving at 9 a.m. The cost is $10 per person. Please indicate on the registration form if

you are willing to take 2 or 3 guests in your car to the facility. The tour will begin at 9:30 a.m.

and end at 11:30 a.m.
