Good news, Jen said she is doing this!

Does she need any info? We used to have to provide boat registration numbers didn’t we?

We only need info if you have a new boat and new numbers, as I have prior years info.

I know @Nickp98 has a new boat. Lol

I should be good, despite a friend or two trying to spend my money for me.

Looking forward to being there with you folks again this year! It's always a great time.
We'll be there a few days early through the weekend. Staying at Lithia Resorts

Is there a schedule for the event? Reserved group night at Mexican restaurant or anything?

 

[jacoviii]

We might try to make it Thursday-Saturday

We will order Pizza as a group on Friday night at the main area. We did this last year everyone placed there order separately on like Thursday (I think) and then they delivered it all together. We plan to go up north for lunch on Friday, anyone who wants to join can. We planned on grilling a couple nights and then maybe going down to the Marina for a night. If you want to do the Mexican thing I think that would be great as well. Maybe Thursday night?

 

[SCP1]

In regards to locations, most likely Coon Creek on Thursday, 5 (also if I recall just south of 5 is pretty cool maybe we should do this instead of 5, I stumbled across this a few years ago) on Friday after lunch, 3 on Saturday, and Coon Creek on Sunday. This could change based on weather, however I think this is a good starting plan. If you have any other ideas let me know and we could change this as well.

I will PM you my phone number, feel free to give me a call. Also if anyone wants my phone number PM me so you can find us. I feel like I have most of your numbers but there is a few I don’t have. Also you may want to do this before you are on the water as I don’t get great reception in regards to get on the forum (I do get reception to get texts and calls).

Hey, all! Excited for a little R&R this weekend. We will be at Lithia rooms three and four Wednesday to Sunday. Thanks so much for doing the rafting permit Jen! The theme days sound super fun. (We will try to channel our inner Barbie) great meeting you and your family Babin, we will miss you this year! We are packing some yard games, feel free to pack some as well.

Thursday night, we will have yard games, (we’re bringing Jenga but don’t use it as fire wood this year) s’mores, glow sticks for littles and an informal meet and greet hanging out by the fire.

Friday cruise up the lake for lunch, water sports, tie up and pizzas for dinner under gazebo. Games, raffles, fire to follow. (I will be getting a hold of the pizza place to let them know there will be multiple individual family orders going to the same place) Malibu Barbie theme night

Saturday water sports, tie up. Water games/relays, bring paddle boards, kayaks, other water blow up toys America theme.

I think I got it all?
…time to pack, see you all there!

 

[JC6275]

Is anyone aware of a room booked that someone is canceling for Friday? either at Lithia or Gregory's? We will try to stay Friday night and head home early Saturday.

 

[Yamagirl]

Lithia just called, just a gentle reminder rooms will not be ready until after 3 PM. If you are going to arrive later than their office hours(6 pm) , please give them a call to arrange key pick up.

Attached my boat numbers. Different boat than we had in 2019 "last time we were there" @SCP1

 

[BigAbe75]

Great trip this weekend. Good seeing everyone this year!

We’re going to try starting a FB group for midwest jetboaters. Not sure if it will help us build some numbers back up or improve communication or anything, but seems like the way of the world right now.
