  6. Drop the price of golf carts back down $100 is ridiculous and walking through 8 inch high grass and weeds in the camper area specially after paying $200 for a camper site. Don't wait till the end of the year to post pictures from the previous event.But definitely glad to see Thursdays are back

    2. So your saying it better to ride your bike thru a rutted up filed drunk and drop and total it then ride a golf cart around all the good biker weekend alow golf carts most likely for the reason they know that it's a pain in the assignment to get around all wetzEl is a more is a money hungry club looking for a way to make more take Wetzel back 4 years that's when it was fun

    3. You are right, it is a biker weekend. But, I have seen more naked women on golf carts than bikes, so, yes to the carts. Bikes definitely get the right-away.

    4. no shit its a biker weekend but without campers and golf carts you have no party or profit

  7. Wow, this sounds like a real bitch session. lol
    I agree with the golf cart price it was way too high.
    Bring back sweaty Teddy (Ted Nuget) & Tesla.
    I would also like to see Kid Rock, Cheap Trick, John Cougar, Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie, Metallica, Nickelback (I know), Toby Keith (for the country girls), Areosmith, ZZ Top etc.
    Other than that I think Wezel ROCKS!!!!
    Rock on!

  9. I would think let the lady's in cheaper because we all love drunk crazy girls the more the better get some in your face rockn roll bands that will get everyone fired up maybe some kind off event after the band to keep the party going also I miss the stripper poles that used to be out in the camp ground I would like to see bands like rebel son motley Crüe ratt twisted sister ect

  10. Allow striper poles again. More vendors. Bands that are a little newer. More food vendors. More games. But they don't have to be all at once. Meaning spread out the games on at different times. BUT THE STRIPPER POLES. WE NEED STRIPPER POLES. that made something to go see at night. 2014 Wetzel all we found were people playing beer pong.......

  11. Had a blast when Black Stone Cherry was there! Should have been the headliner. Anything to get the womens clothes off is good! To hell with the P.C.(politically correct) crap!!! And what can you do to keep the temp above 65 at night?

  12. Love Weasel plan ahead every year on going. Wife went with me for first time this year and loved it now she wants to go every year lol. I do agree however that the golf cart price this year was outrageous. Please lower that but other than that great time and see u next year

  14. Was kinda disappointed this year. Glad thursday is back but happened to all the partying in the camp ground? I was told by people that they were told not to bring there stripper poles or any of the other stuff that kept the camp ground hoppin. That's the main reason we come. Idk. May be Goin to fowlerville next year instead.

  15. Well you guys put on a great party. But... 2014 kind of sucked! Not sure why Bad bands? I have been told by friends fees to high for campers so they will not be back. I can talk from experience I have been there 17 times in the last 19 years so I have a soap box to speak from. I guess. Should be back again just want things to go back to what they were. Not sure how to do it thou. In past years things are so busy you can hardly sleep On Saturday night its hard to get to sleep 2014 was so quiet hell could have stayed at home and been more noise. Well hope things are better in 2015 good luck may be see ya there.

  16. This party has been awesome for years! However this past year was not as energized as years before. Maybe the price raises, just ok bands, and the no stripper poles and fun camp area stuff banned. Just a thought. I'm sure 2015 will be awesome like before!

  19. unless there's a must see rocker in 2015 (yeah right) our group will be going to Fowlerville. $300 just for a camper and golf cart is crazy expensive and the STRIPPER POLES disappeared and I have to bring my own lawn mower! I have been to some great parties at Wetzel over the years but the past 2 or 3 have been getting lame. I hope someone fixes what went wrong b4 wetzelland returns to farmland. Thank you Scott Stapp for saving the weekend with a bad ass show. Fowlerville is $55 for a camper and carts are free! (same at chilli) I love ya Wetzel but yer sister is lookin pretty hot!

  21. U people think they just sit on there money... Think of how much it costs them to put on the party every year... And they want it to get back to a biker party... Tents and bikes... Not this bring ur 70ft camper come on people live a little get dirty... I can say I seen what Wetzel does for the community... They gave Christmas to 180 families this year that to me says alot... So go on and say there money hungry just remember when u need help in life and if it wasn't for groups like this u wouldn't have nothing... So go on Wetzel rock out... Love it every year thanks for everything u do...

  22. I would just like to see the partying back in the camp ground like before. Bring on the stripper poles and show me them boobies.

  23. As a 20 year veteran of WETZEL I must say I have seen a lot of changes both good and bad. Attendance has dropped in the past years but 2014 was definitely the slowest year I have ever seen. I think it was a bad year at all rallies, all of the EASYRIDERS events were down on attendance and we heard Sturgis was the same.
    The ground in "RV" section is virtually impossible to get around on without a golf cart so we rarely make it to that area.
    Hopefully the vendors don't bail since attendance is dropping.
    Previous years pictures getting posted sooner would be cool.
    As for the stripper poles our group had ours there and it went pretty well, Just don't put them to close to the road or you will have to rearrange your entire camp to move it back ! I think most people didn't bring them simply because how can you compete with the "RV" sections massive production shows..
    We all know you will never please the masses , Just keep up with trying to please a few and things should work out ! See you in 2015

  24. I feel that the Wetzel guys put on a hell of a show and they do for the entire community every year. What some people need to realize is that they (Wetzel Biker Club) and not every rally gives back to the community or make sure no one gets into fights. I will be back this year and hopefully for the next 20 years if they are there. I would like to see Jason Aldean; Dierks Bently; Motley Crue; and definitely Alice Cooper.

  25. I will be back in 2015 but would like to see the golf cart price go down for sure this last year was definitely too high. Had a great time tho and look forward to it every year. Still waiting on those 2104 pics

  26. We have been going for 12 years now, Yeah it would be cool to have the golf cart price down to $50.00, after a bike wreck and 2 back surgery's little hard to walk around.Money is tight but I manage to scrape it together to go.
    I know it cost the club a ton of money to get potties and get bands,am pretty sure the area loves the money that this event brings in.
    Would not be bad to get the RV price down a bit too!!!! I have big back issues so it is even hard to sleep on an air mattress. More money we save on getting in we can spend on the venders and make them happy also.

    thanks for letting me RANT!!!

  27. I understand this is a biker rally, not a campground...but $200 to bring your camper in is a little too steep.

  30. I understand it's a biker party but I would rather have people on golf carts @ 2 in the morning that have been drinking since noon rather than riding their bikes around, so lower the cart prices. Have more contests like wet t shirt contests ect.

  31. We have look forward to Wetzel every year for the passed 7 years. Yes last year seemed a little lame compared to others, but Thursday is back. I understand for most, golf carts are a luxury. I would be willing to pay for this luxury, but please at least give the disabled and persons with mobilities needs a very discounted rate. Maybe an area for them to bring their carts to the evening shows via the lane by the ice wagons? Thanks for the opportunity to post.

  33. GREAT PICS. SHOWS MORE OF THE REAL PARTY.

  34. I have been going to the Wetzel Party for 20 years now with a HUGE group. And every event has been a blast except the 2009 party when the 1%ers basically took over the party then it lost a lot of its pizzazz. Since then our HUGE group of partiers have dwindled down to a very small group. I understand its a biker party and open to the public but its YOUR CLUB party not the 1%ers. Also we understand biker etiquette and respect towards others. I hope your future parties are very successful.

  35. The group I go with spends a lot of money there every year but it is worth it. We always have a good time and party all night long. More contests for men and women through out the whole weekend. Some of the bigger bands have been kinda lame past couple of years. Maybe do a battle of the bands type thing might be cool. Oh and we need bigger clothing for us fat people to buy. You would probably sell a lot if you had 4x and bigger. Just saying it would be nice. And thanks for putting it on every year!
