The Traveler’s Trek Wednesday, October 30 EPIC Campus Tour 1979 Milky Way, Verona, WI

Take a trip of EPIC proportion and join us for a day of fun. We are starting off our day with a visit to The Shoe Box in Black Earth, WI. I have been told we won’t regret it. The Shoe Box is known for a huge selection of shoes to fit all sizes and tastes. They specialize in award-winning customer service. They have been visited by a list of many famous people. I figure Connections Club should join the list! We think all the Shoe shopping might make us hungry, so we are going to stop for an included lunch at The Grumpy Troll Brew Pub in Mount Horeb, WI. “Who doesn’t like to be grumpy with a

beer in hand?” Next up, we will be treated to a guided tour of EPIC, a healthcare software company in Verona, WI. EPIC is, well, epic! Its Systems contain records for more than 50% of US medical patients. It is a major software provider for big health systems such as the Mayo Clinic and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center plus scores of doctor’s offices and smaller clinics. The EPIC campus, as they refer to it, has approximately 10,000 employees on site. The rooms and campus itself are all themed and spectacular. Every detail has been thought out and done for a reason. It was created to motivate their employees and by doing so became a place for all to see. It is so unique that it is hard to describe and needs to be seen firsthand. The artwork throughout is also a major attraction. Cost of the trip is $66 per person. This price includes all planned activities, motor coach transportation, driver’s gratuity, and lunch.
