2017 Lake Shelbyville Illinois Gathering, July 26th to July 30th 2017

[BigAbe75]

I think @BigAbe75 is glamping in style with a big class A.

Definitely tempting just to try to be closer to the events. But, yeah I think we'll stick with the motorhome this time and see how it goes. Thanks for the heads-up!

Friday Night Annual Family Dinner will be awesome! This is just a part of what will be happening......musical entertainment:

I'd suggest maybe we could pitch in for a keg, but I'm not drinking Natty!!!!

 

[mattschepker]

I'm going to be good this year and go to bed at a decent hour

Man a keg of bud light ? That be awesome !!

 

[Bill D]

I would be willing to pitch in for a keg.

 

[mattschepker]

I hate draft beer.... bad bad hangovers for me

As long as the keg doesn't make it to the raft, we are ok...

...especially if the CORPS follow a drone to it!

What are the room configurations? If they had 2 Queens I might be interested. It might be too damn hot for camping.

The lithia hotel room has two (not sure I'd call them queens) Probably full, and still available. I've already paid for the room. I'd like to see it get some use.

@OperationROL we will be there Tuesday night we took an extra day off work can't wait to get there !

 

[MutherTucker]

We will have 5 varieties of beer at the Friday night dinner. No one has to go home the next day, soooooo let's see how our boat peeps party on land!

I can't believe this thread isn't blowing up right now!! Who is ready for #10!!!!!???? I know I am and this should prove to be the best so far. I know there are some surprises in store but my number 1 question is Corporate Yamaha is listed as a sponsor....... Are they going to be there?

Hey @jcyamaharider . I just realized I never responded to this. Yamaha will not be there. This is one of the busiest times of the year for them, as they will have media days and dealer days around the lauch of the 2018 boats within weeks of our event. However, I will tell you that Yamaha really has been behind us and dedicated to making this event a huge success. They have reiterated how much they care about customer satisfaction and have sponsored the event as a token of their appreciation for the business. I want to publicly thank Yamaha for their involvement.

Are there daily use fees for the lake or anything else we need to know prior to launch? Thanks!

 

[RiverRat]

Daily launch fee was 3 bucks. I think it may have gone up though... maybe 5 now?

@BigAbe75 you should check with the campground if you are still camping. I thought the daily launch fee used to be included in the campsite fee, but it's been at least 4 years since I've camped there.

@007 is correct. Those that stay at Lithia Campground can use the public launch free of charge. Just ask about it when you check in.
