Unfortunately we will not be present this year. We have our camper at Table rock lake and need to use this as much as possible to make the cost worth it too us. Already anticipating all of the cool pictures everyone will post and will miss everyone very much!

Site 1 in the campground this year @Yamagirl and Friday night through Sunday. IF we come down Thursday night, it will be through the night and sleep on the boat, even if we meet up at a resteraunt or something! Pulling a camper gives us options!

This is the closest meet up possible for me being in central Illinois. My wife plans a camping & canoe trip this week every year that I loath, plus it's always over my birthday. We bought our boat in Shelbyville and plan on camping again there this summer, a great place.
Even though I'm not near a frequent poster as many of you. I have read so many of your post and topics even when I couldn't provide value but was just interested. I feel in many ways I get your sense of humor and would love just to see your boats and modifications.
Maybe I can convince her next year... can't say I'll be reading the thread how awesome Shelby was again this year.

Wife and I were looking into the Lithia Resort for a mini-honeymoon trip with the boat and our dog. Was hoping it would be a warm up trip to possibly making one of these gatherings but they don't allow pets in any of their cabins...We've since booked a long weekend down on Kentucky Lake in early June at a place that was pet friendly.

Is there anywhere on Lake Shelbyville that is pet friendly? I'd still like to make one of these gatherings one day...

Great question! Next to Lithia is Gregory’s, maybe they do? Not sure. This is going to be our first year staying somewhere else other than our RV., so I’ve never really paid attention to that, sorry! Can anyone else shed some light on this?

We are in and are staying in the duck cabin Monday to Monday. We missed most of y’all last year. Where we got rained out most of the week and along with @aarons1k implemented a bowling trip to Pana Lanes to ease all the littles.

Have you called them? I’ve read in the past staying there “no pets without prior approval”

I've not tried calling but their site says no pets in the cabins or lodge when booking a room at the bottom. We wanted the Blue Spruce cabin for our trip in June so that threw that option out.

FYI everyone - Just put in the dates for this years gathering and it looks like that weekend Lithia Resort is booked full with no available rooms/cabins as of now.

Based on my schedule I need to get working on the raft permits. Please PM your info, boat manufacturer, model, length if not obvious, boat color, registration numbers, and how many people will be on your boat. Also sounds like we are getting very close on being ready to order shirts so please follow and reply when asked so we can get this turned around ASAP! As with everything we had a hard time finding a place to do the shirts and inventory is low. Thanks.

Did you call Lithia? I know Ive seen dogs there. Our kids played with a 70lb BerneDoodle the last time we were there (last Oct). He was staying in one of the cabins.

One other note if you have come in prior years and no change to boat or registration just say so and let me know how many people will be on your boat. As I have boat info and registration info from 2019. Thanks.

Can't wait to meet all you. We're very excited to be a part of this trip - thank you for the invitation.

I think we're all set with reservations, banquet confirmations, etc. We goofed and stutter-stepped on accomodations, but we managed to get a small room to cram into. If anyone has a cabin and can't make it, please let us know.

Q: What about marina dock space and launching? I don't suppose that anyone is letting us use their facilities without cost or prior arrangements. Does the resort have launch/mooring facilities? Any recommendations on who I should contact?

Boat launch is easy access. Costs $5 per day, I think. Stick cash in an envelope and put in a box.

If you want a slip, call Lithia springs marina. It’s very nice and not too pricey.
