I will be there rain or shine.

I had posted, due to low interest and nothing on the "picnic" list;
everyone is "Dutch treat". Just bring lunch for yourself.
Sorry, but I won't be able to bring my wife's apple log...:uhoh:...she is heading north tonight for the weekend and I don't cook deserts too well...typical bachelor eh!
Looks like this event went against me, everything fell apart. But come out and visit, try some fishing anyway.

There are only 4 confirmed, don't remember how many possibles. Look on the MOC events calendar.

I will visit with whoever shows up.

Just bring whatever you want to eat. The hibachis are there so just charcoal and you don't need a grill unless you want to bring it for yourself.
I just plan on a "bag" lunch.
Like I said above...everything took a dump on me :uhoh: my apologies to all....maybe better next year.

I'm in Effingham, IL right now. I am waiting on a load coming through here heading for Newport, MI, that drops in the morning. As long as that goes through without a hitch, and I can get my daughter Sunday morning, I will be there.

eta:

My sister is graduating nursing school at 12:30. If you're still around afterward, I'll slide by. I'll call you, Jerry.

This just keeps getting better... can't bring my boat. :uhoh:
I let someone use my trailer and they went north and didn't bring my trailer home.:banghead:

My deepest apologies to all for this thing falling apart. I guess we can fish from the dock and bank. Or just sit around and enjoy making fun of the "old guy" and his horrible planning luck. :uhoh:
