The Farmer's (Mike, Marsha, Michael-9 & Mason-9) already booked the posted weekend of March 27-29th. This will be our first reunion after several years of missed attempts. We are looking forward to meet all those fellow Correct Craft enthusiasts and hope to start a new tradition of attendance every year. We will be bringing our RV and will contribute to the festivities in any way we can.
If Ok? I will be bringing BBQ picnic style pork ribs with potato salad. Counting the days!:) |

Laurie and I will be down for the weekend of the 21-22nd so we can hang with Chris, Adam, Tim and any others that are planning to be there then so we can get some extended river time in as we'll be spending time back at the boat show the following weekend. Last year we were just pulled in too many different directions and missed all the best river festivities. I just got my Parramores RV spot reservation.

Given the previous weekend is available, are Parramore reservations not transferable?

If Parramore's allows my reservation to be transferred, I would much prefer some time on the river with the family and some new friends. The boat show is great but does take up a good portion of time, and not really the reason for my first reunion experience that I was looking forward to. That's just my personal opinion.

Mike....the Dora boat show isn't a normal thing that we do, Some attend, most don't. Last year was an exception to the "normal" SJRR. The normal is playing on the river from the time you get there till whenever folks decide to get off the water. Fans start arriving Thurs or sooner to enjoy playtime on the river. Friday is all day river sports or head down to the boat show if you choose. Their are some really cool old boats there whose beauty and wacky design are second to none. Saturday is either a run down to Hontoon island which is about a 1 hour trip where fans have grilled burgers and dogs waiting on us. then a 1 hr trip back to Parramores or a run out across Lake George to the Silver Glenn Springs. Some playtime on the lake/river before Sat nights visit with Mr. Ralph. and cookout. Sunday most head out but some stick around for more fun on the river.
This being your first Mini might I suggest that you stick to your original plan if it works better for YOU! Mr.Ralph is truly a joy to listen too and a treat you don't wanna miss IMHO. He loves to visit and tell us more stories of the Meloon family and the Correct Craft boats that they've built. He is 97 years old and looks forward to visiting with us! When approached last year about getting out of the sun at the boat show (when CC's were the featured boat) his response was " No, I'm going to stay right down here with my people!'....The man's a hoot! Bottom line is go to the show if you want but I'd bet 98% won't and those that do will go on Friday. Hope that helps you or anyone else that is coming to their first River Run! |

Parramore's will transfer your reservation if space is available. As of yesterday, they still had spots open for the weekend of the 21st. Still on the fence as to if I will be moving my reservation. Kids are out of school the week from March 16-22nd for spring break. This would be much easier for me to get the kids to be part of the festivities and also have a longer stay at Parramore's versus the weekend of the 28th. I would hate to miss Mr. Ralph but may have to just drive up solo the following weekend to hear him speak.

Me Ralph is no doubt an icon but do what suits you and your family best. River running, as it started out, or boat showing.

Since spring break is the week of March 16th. I have rescheduled my visit to Parramore's from the 19-22nd. This will work best to have the most amount of time on the water and hopefully able to meet some fellow Correct Craft fans as well. I have 2 RV spots reserved (74 & 75). Bringing the in-laws to help manage the kids for more adult time! If any other members are up there this weekend, I would still enjoy a get-together cookout if interested?

Mike, I know there will be a small contingent of CCFans there as scheduling issues didn't allow them to attend the following weekend but still wanted some river/CCFan time. So I say, why not make it a week long event if you can? I would imagine that the few of us that are there the weekend before would be up for grilling something out on the 21st. My vote is steaks and we can use the grill at the Campground. The kids should be fine at anytime as we really aren't too wild. We spend most of the day on the water and in the evening sit round drinking cocktails. If the kids can hang on the water all day, then they'll be fine.

Sounds good. Looking forward to it! Is there a close by store, or should I shop before getting into the area?

Dave, I do have Yeargins cell #....I'll give him a shout to see if you can have a couple days off!
On that note, I do have Pro Driver Lester Todd's # too and he told me a couple years ago that we could come to his private lake where he and Cindy have a slalom course and a jump set up to use so that might be something worth checking into. They don't live that far from Astor and always enjoy hanging out with us Correct Craft Peeps. |

I am officially out for the weekend of the 27th. My wife and daughter are travelling to Colorado for some family visits and skiing (the other kind). Cindy and Lester's private lake sounds interesting. Maybe I can shoot down for the previous weekend, but I seriously doubt a St. John's River trip for me this year. I would like to see the running list of folks making it down the week before.
So far I see: Farmer family Reid and Laurie Chris and dad Tim B.? Tim M.? Adam? |

Looks like the Smith family and Mr. Ralph will be the only ones there the originally slated date (27th)? Well, I will throw him in the boat with the rest of the kids and show him a good time. Pictures to follow!

Jerry, The Smith Clan and Mr. Ralph won't be the only ones there. As my earlier post had stated a few of the regular SJRR attendees cannot make this years River Run on the 27th for conflict of that thing we call JOB. Because Mini's HAVE been and ALWAYS will be about us getting together as a family, misfits, skibums, etc. It had been suggested that we START a weekend before and go till the next weekend if YOU can afford to do so. I can get the time off so Reid and I are going down the 19/20th and staying till the 30th....What are we gonna do that whole time? Heck we don't know but we'll have boats, plenty of water, and loads of CCFans who live in Fla that we can hook up with.
So here's who we have coming so far and if you are attending then pipe up so folks know who and when you're coming. You've got less than 2 months to get those CC's ready for a run down the St. Johns River. 20th-22nd Reid & Laurie Morfoot Mars Boys IAughtNaut Jmurph ? 27th-29th ReidP Morfoot Smith Family Reid and I (and whomever may be with us) may head back to Parramores on the 26th if Fans start getting there on Thursday or earlier. Guess it all depends on what's going on. |

Tim I'm confused, if you're there the entire week, how are you returning back to Parramores on the 26th?

Todd, I'll be doing the camping thing the first weekend probably on Reids reserved RV slot. Laurie is not staying the whole week but Reid and I are... We will either take the Nautimobile wherever we go or jump in whatever tow vehicle I have maybe attach a boat to it and go ?????? We'll either leave the RV there at Parramores and come back to it on Thursday or take it with us depending on where the "wind" takes us.
We may end up in The Keys on Monday....The plan is.......there is no plan. Land Pirates we be!

We'll be leaving Memphis late on the 19th headed to Astor. Planning to stay until the 24th. Haven't reserved a camp site yet but we're still planning to bring the RV and will have the 01 Reverse Gel SN in tow. At some point we have to make a trip to Ramlin in Orlando (long story for another thread) but want to get as much water time as possible. |

So here we are at the beginning of February and this is all the chatter about River Run? Man y'alls brains must be frozen over. Looking at past SJRR threads the talk started in January and lasted for 3 months. looks like the few of us that are attended are gonna have a great time! Looks like we might grill Steaks and Shrimp instead of burgers and dogs.
Is this all whose coming?  20th-22nd Reid & Laurie Morfoot Mars Boys IAughtNaut mmfarmer1 27th-29th ReidP Morfoot Smith Family |
