SJRR 2015

Dang, I will be in Chicago for a wedding on this weekend.....One of these years I am going to make it to this event!

That would be the weekend AFTER spring break.

We made it to the reunion for only one of the days, and we missed the majority of that day due to weather. We were able to make dinner but thats about all last year; we hope we can make it this year and if the dates don't change (from the 27/28/29) we can make it!

What would be the best place to stay that would split the difference between Mt. Dora and SSJR campground with the CC boating.

There is a very good chance that Pauly-Banana and his wife Marilyn will be able to attend for the first time.

Keep the info coming so we can make plans early enough.

Looking forward to seeing you all there!   

Ok, someone said that we should stay in a Howard Johnson's near Mt. Dora, I think that was the name of the hotel. Does that sound like a good place to stay, or are there any other places that you would recommend?

Todd pretty much nailed it. Most CCFans usually stay at Parramores campground in a cabin for the long weekend. Some do the tent thing, some stay in hotels in Astor and finally there is a crew that rents a house around the corner for the weekend.

There is a iffy boat launch at the campground and some covered boat slips available so that is why most stay there. Those that do go to the boat show will just make the drive there. Last year was the exception to the norm with CC being the featured Mfg of the show.

Most all of the boating, sking, footing, takes place on the St. Johns river itself off the horse shoe channel where the campground is located. (Google Map Paramores, Astor Fla to see what I mean) We have been able to ski on Lake George itself but the stars have to align along with the planets to do so. The lake is so big and open that it doesn't take much of a wind to create rough conditions and white capping waves. Look at years past in the reunion thread for pictures and the usual events that take place.

Mr. Ralph wants and is planning on coming out again this year to pay us fans a visit on late Saturday afternoon. Hopefully the weather will be on on side this year as the last two years hasn't been all that great.


My thought is that if you do stay outside of Astor you may be making the trip to Parramores a bunch especially if you are wanting to ski,boat and hang with the rest of the crew.

Just a quick question about the Mt. Dora boat show. Since Correct Craft was the topic mfg last year, will there be many Correct Crafts at this years show?

Good question. I think that depends on Mr. Reid as he appeared to have most of the CC's there. Art will probably be there. I bet Bruce will be there with Ski-daddle.

The Farmer's have just booked an RV site. 1976 Ski Nautique with 2 adults, 2 kids (9). Our 1st reunion after many years of planning. Looking forward to a great weekend!

Great! Smith Family has twin girls 17, Emily 16, Boys 13, 12 and 11. They all have games going manhunt, tennis basketball, and of course the boat.

Just looked at Airline tickets, wondering how many people are planning on attending this year.

I just found out my work schedule is going to make it darn near impossible to go the last weekend in march, but I love me some time on the river, I'm in for the week before. I'm sure with the local crowd there will be plenty of people for me and Mars to ski with. We'll have at least one boat.

What!!??

Well I could possibly do both weekends. Got Vaca to burn but I'd have to split lodging costs for a few days or tent camp for a few.Don't have that kinda $$$ to spend at Paramoresfor 9 days..... Could also just drive down with Miss Scarlett the first weekend, fly home from Daytona then fly back on Thursday for the official weekend.

I plan on heading up again. Not staying the night, but I'll be heading up each day. I'm sure Ross will be going as well.

you hit the nail on the head Dave, that's why some of us are coming a week ahead of the boat show

It's only 2 months away and the chatter has been pretty quiet around here about the first CCFan gathering of the year. Several members have conflicting schedules that will not allow them to go on the 27-29th.

These fans have suggested moving it up a week so that more could possibly attend but many have already locked in their cabins last year for this years River Run. CCFans are still wanting to get out from Old Man Winters grip and hit the water with their boat buds so it looks like we're going to have a River Run 2015 Part I AND Part II.


So for those of you who can make it the weekend of the 20th then head on down and those who are going the 27th then we'll see you there. I myself should be able to do both and just stay the week. So without talking about it for a week or two we'll just set in stone NOW!

Come which ever weekend that works for you and lets play on the river for a week if you can swing it. It will probably be a small group of Fans but chime in NOW on what weekend you're going and list here...

That being said we'll stick with the traditional COOKOUT on Sat night so list if your coming and what you're bringing.
