Bruce,
Lobster and brats sound great! Keep that grill going for whenever I get out east and visit. Gary, I though you were going to clean off the seat to your truck so John can come over too! I'm just waiting for my manager to get off vacation so I can call her and see if I can get a update on a new drop. It's only faulted twice since Saturday when the lineman switched me over to the orange orange/white pair!! |

Scott, I believe you were simply in some patrons way and he was pissy for whatever reason. The club owner didn't get word out through the Chamber early enough to really let the regulars know what was going on that night. We obviously caught them off gaurd with 50+ boats all over the place. If we decide to return next year, the owner of the club will help by advertising earlier and reconfiguring the traffic so we can coexist with the golfers and fish fry people without much interaction.

I agree that getting the chance to meet CCF members face to face and seeing all those boats was the reason for being there! Great idea in letting the golfers and other patrons know that we are going to mix things up a bit will help!

It would help if they ran Caddyshack continuously on the bar TVs the week prior.

Now that's funny! Just my imput on the whole Friday thing from another newcomers view. I thought that the event on Fri night was great.Got the chance to meet a bunch a guys whom I can now place a face with their boat. The way the boat show was organized was a great idea and it's still amazing how they got so many boats in such a small area w/o incident. Yes the weather was crappy but in truee CCF style we all made the best of it and made it happen. This Georgia Boy jokingly complained about it all weekend but I know full well that God is in charge of that and it's up to him to decide what weather we'll have. Two suggestions that I would have is One: better access to the restrooms as I had to go through the kitchen downstairs to get to one and getting some oddball looks from the staff. Second: I would like to see maybe an alternative menu item for the kids. This event is supposed to be a bring the wife and kids event so have something other than "Brat's and Beer" for those who can't or don't like them. My girls tried the brats but didn't care for em. How about a few Hot Dogs and maybe some soft drinks for those who cannot drink the "adult" beverages. To the organizers I thank you! 
You volunteered, and were not paid to do any of this but gave it your best and extended some "Northern" hospitality to a large crowd of fellow fanatics. By they way Sydney(13) and Tamara(10) on Sunday said "Dad I don't know if we'll be back next year cuz we aren't having a real good time." but they changed ther minds after we decided to stick around til Monday and the Sun came out and they both were able to get in the water which is why we ALL we there in the first place. |

I'll second that. On top of that, simply more food. I don't think whoever was cooking counted on that many people, should be better next year. Brats could've been way better, too. MMMM beer brats. Cheddar brats are good, too. And you can't boil them, gotta grill. |

Yes, it would have been nice to have a couple of porta-johns down closer as I had to walk up to the clubhouse a couple of times too. I'm sure others that are getting up in age like myself would appreciate it as well. I used to be able to down a six pack and visit the mens room once. Now it more like one beer and visit the mens room six times!!! Still, I didn't feel it was a major inconvenience. Maybe the CC can get us a couple of the porta-johns? |

Great suggestions guys... Friday has certainly been a challenge to organize ever since year one. Each year the group grows so much that we're forced to start over. We thought the golf course wasa beautiful setting for the boat being displayed, but yes it certainly added to the thrill logistically on all fronts...
As for the food, unfortunately I don't think it came out loud and clear that the brats were billed as a small appetizer, not a dinner. Same with the beer.. We havn't typically made full meals on Fridays. Last years brat fry came out pretty good, but most of you went and ate after that anyway, so we backed up a bit and took a different look at it.... We were told that the kitchen at the CC could handle all of us, certainly that was not the case.... We'll be back at it trying to figure out how to make the experience a bit less stressful for all of us, trust me when I say that... In the meantime, please keep the suggestions coming. They really do help, and thanks again for coming this year. Me and my family had a blast spending time with you all !!!! Moj' |

We, the 4 of us, ate in the restaraunt. I think they were a little overwhelmed, and at the time I didn't realize how big a deal the fish fry was either. It worked out well,they gave us a table if we could be out in an hour whick was ok as we didn't want to be inside long anyway. Maybe next time Dave just ask,I know some of us come a ways but we could help with something. |
