Green Lake 09’

For those who did not see Keith's post in a different thread, GL09' dates have already been established. That's right, even before the end of the year, it has been decided that Green Lake will take place the weekend of July 17-19th, 09'.

This is one week later that the event has been the last three years. Those who have already made reservations for the previous week, you'll need to change them. For those planning on coming for the first time, there are plenty of places to stay including the ever popular camping area Hattie Sherwood campground..

It's going to be a long winter, but at least we know the dates are solid and you can plan accordingly..

Any questions, feel free to ask..

Kristof: The week later change is very bad for Patti and I. The new dates put us in conflict with our Tennessee vacation with all our Ohio Ski Club buds. I will have to look at the calender closer. I have talked to MM about a road trip to GL instead of flying. That would be fun and you and Chantal would get to see alot of the USA.

Moj: I need to change my reservations so if we don't make it, the room would be avalible for our Belguim friend but....I seem to have lost or misplaced the number. You got it? Thanks.

Just called the Bay View and changed my dates.

The new dates make for tight bookings. If you stay there better make the change ASAP, for they already have a large group for that wkend.

Crap, sorry Jbear. I didn't see your request. You'll find all the phone numbers to all the hotels here on the GL Chamber site.

Bayview is booked full.

Also, for those of you with children, you might want to make sure the B & B you choose allows a 3rd person in the room. We loved McConnell Inn, but we can't stay there if we bring our kid next year. They said the village code does not allow more than 2 to stay in a room in a B & B.

I also think that could be a great trip for Kristof and Chantal, as we've got our typical caravan of 4-5 boats/vehicles making that yearly trek with plenty of extra space. We'd also love to play host for an afternoon/evening to our favorite Belgians at Lake Norman. Then, on to a nice ride up thru the mountains, thru the rolling hills and across the flatlands up to GL, while picking up several more along the way.

Why are their so many Wal-mart's and McDonalds here!! (hehe)

Drats, I have a wedding already scheduled for the weekend of July 17. I was hoping to meet Kristoff as well--might have to drive to Reid's to catch him!

I have already reserved my two favorite waterfront spots at Hattie Sherwood, a few things may go bang every now and then...

The Godfather wrote: If you are their Joe, I know it will be LOUD! Just don't wake up the Doc. (hehe) or start running.

The good doc has been my neighbor at Hattie two years running hopefully will be again, I warned him and Karen to go ahead and cover their ears before I pulled out this year but with my accent I dont know that they figured out what I was saying soon enough.

The Godfather wrote: Good one, down here we say: Watch out Heads up Or just plain (OH SH...t)!!! It's all fun..

I thought it all started with:

WATCH THIS!

You ever heard of the PLBC, 67Nautique312, quinner, or the "shot ski"? You better be bringing plenty of "tab" money. These guys are thirsty.

You will meet the greatest bunch of guys and their families and have the time of your life.

Steve,

Mojo and Raindog are the "Mayors" of Green Lake, they should be able to guide you to a good spot. Last year we stayed at the campground, stayed Tues-Mon. Reid hooked us up with a rental trailer, worked out great and there is always quite a few from our group staying there, no matter where you stay it will be a great time!

Hiya Steve,
Making a decision to come to GL09' is a decision you won't regret.. Regarding accommodations, they are plentiful. Hotels, B&B's, rental properties on and off lake, plus a great campground (where a lot of the action is)..

I would start by going to the Chamber website and looking around. There are three hotels and two B&B's within walking distance to the main boat ramp. They are:
Bayview Motel
Lakeside Motel
Green Lake Inn
Oakwood Lodge
McConnell Inn

Many of these are probably already booked out, but I would still try every one. Some of the B&B'sw arn't kid friendly, so please ask when booking..
GL Chamber site

It will be great to meet you and any family. There will be plenty to do, see, and drink...
Watch for the registration page to appear after the first of the year.. In the meantime, please feel free to contact myself or Raindog (Steve Evans) if you have any questions..

Merry Xmas !!!
