2011 SJRR Recap & Photos

What a WONDERFUL weekend!!!!!! We had a Great turn out! We even had a member come all the way from UK JUST for this event and will be back next year. Bully also showed up and joined us. But he was over served so we didn't see much of him since he was recouperating all day Saturday. He will be going to the UK and the wedding with Roger.

To be truthful, there is no way to know exactly how many people we had. There were 30 boats and 43 people that registered. We had 30 CC Boats at the Glen on Saturday. No way to know exactly how many were with the Meloon contingent not to mention those that just showed up and participated but did not register.

Saturday night, when Mr. Ralph was speaking there were 60 people sitting in the room and you could have heard a pin drop. It was GREAT!!! We feed well over 140 people that night and could have fed more because there was food left over. Billy said that there were several times during the evening when Billy checked on the food and the table was empty and there were still many more to feed. But the grills were full and the food kept coming.

It was a fabulous weekend. We had 5 generations of Meloons plus Lester and Cindy Todd at SJRR. What a treat!!

I think the Meloons as well as Bill Yeargin came away from the weekend with a new appreciation of what we are all about and how we feel about these OLD boats. The Meloon contingent as well as the Todd's told me that they WILL join us for sure next year.

Hopefully, we can add a thing or two for next year and bring it up a notch. We will start earlier next year planning.

Like Tim said, I could not have said it better myself--Its about the people that OWN the boats and the Christian values that the Meloons have built CC on.

Hope to see you all next year,same time same place!!!

Whaaaaaat?

Way to go "Lobster Boy"... Congrats to them both..

Glad everyone had a great time this year down on the river !!! The temps great compared to last year.... Great turnout !!!

Tim, Doc, BNurse... Stupendous job......

   A large thanks to all that helped with this years SJRR.
This gathering has continued to grow , and the list of attedee's shows the intrest in a simple,"no plan"event.
I want to thank all that attended this years event, Karen and I tried to make this gathering as user friendly as possible, no plans.
Not better not any less than the "official" events, just different.
The CEO of CC was set back by this bunch of misfits, their loyalty and their love of these old boats.This is the message that Karen and I have tried so hard to convey to corporate at the CC factory.
We are making a few adjustments to the NO PLAN to bring this event to the next level.
While this will never be an Official CCFAN event it has grown and taken on it,s own personality, much in the same way it has for the last two years.
Again Karen and I along with all the members that worked so hard to make this "thing happen" say:

                     Thank You Very Much

They will send the pics to a few select CCFans to post them up!

I assume you removed them on the spot then? Or did you leave those goofy things on there?
