Will be there if my boat is floating!!!

Thanks to some additional funding on the part of Islander and a additional boatel for the band, Ugly Early is confirmed as the band.

From what I heard from Grider they have already reserved 1 or 2 boatels this week and I'm pretty sure of another 1 or 2 that will be reserved by this weekend. Looking good for almost 3 months out.

Remember they have lodge rooms and cabins as well.

Less than 2 months!

In a few days we will get the first peak at what Accuweather thinks that weekend will be like. (yes I know it is more of a novelty but I have to admit accuweather gets pretty close to actual pretty often.. Kinda wild)

TTT - hope your calendars are marked. You DON'T have to have a boat out (or a boat at all for that matter) to enjoy this gathering. I'm hoping for a 76 Falls Cruise before the main events Saturday.

Is it to late for a shirt? XXL if I can. Looks like the stars are aligning for a trip down this year.

Don't count me out, bucko!

6 Days

Just called Grider and they have a few rooms open, said they have some on the upper part of the lodge and some on the lower. They also have a "couple" boatels open. Number for lodge is 1-866-387-5501

Hump Day means the weekend is not far away now...

More details to follow, still catching up. Great Party but turnout was low to past Grider standards. At any one time I never saw more than 65 people on the party deck. I'm sure more than that trickled through. For example nautinuff and I were apparently both on party deck and I never saw him.

Corn hole tourney this time yielded pretty big prizes From A cash pot to lots of lake decals.com items, some Grider Hill items etc.

Here are some photos from the weekend. Thanks to Grider for hosting the party and if you enjoyed the band thank Islander212 as well as Grider.


Thank you Elizabeth and the Grider Hill Mgt/crew for a great event, as said elsewhere sorry the cooler weather held the numbers back. Hope everyone enjoyed themselves.


If you have other photos be sure to share them!

I think my favorite part of the weekend was either the PSA brought to us by Cocaine (lol) or the Gotta Have Faith, after moment. ...wow.. Both by the same individual....


ps, I think at some point I would like to retire from coordination duties... Or at the least need some volunteers to handle the Cornhole tourneys etc. That part is just not my cup o tea...
