Correct Craft Reunion Angola?

If anyone decides to do this I would definately show up with some other friends. Never been to a reunion, (mini)whatever, of any kind but it sounds like it would be a great time. Lake James chain is really nice.

Welcome Greg! I live just north of coldwater, we party on the north chain,you are welcome to join us any time you like Ill show ya around.we have hung out on the south chain for years till i got a house up here n/c. didnt like the marine patroll down there, thaught thair s%#t didnt stink. we still do the corn roast     just bring a pontoon. alot calmer here for sking, even have a cool sand bar. give me a ring and well have ya up for a good time 269 506 1249 jeff

jeff, sounds like fun i'd like to try and get up to the north chain, calmer water for skiing sounds great. but i don't know how my work schedule is going to work out this year since i just started a new job, but if you get down to the south chain let me know and stop by for at least a drink or two. if nothing else works i will probably be at the corn roast with my boat, so maybe i'll see ya there if not before. here's to a great summer in 2010. later, greg 419-966-6880

Is this thread dead or what?????? i'm finishing up all the winter restoration on my 87 and can't wait to show it off. i will be posting some new pics when she's complete. getting the upholstry back later this week or early next. Is anyone else watching this thread besides me?????? BTW, i just spoke to Bruce and sounds like he's doing well and will eventually be moving permanently to Indy.

Which lake Dave? We used to go to Lake James and stay in a big ole Inn at Pokagon State Park. Very cool place, had a big wooden ski jump ramp or tobagon slide if I remember right.

It only feels like a mile when you drag that stupid sled back...

Dave and John, your right it was on lake james and i believe the tabogan run is still there.

now this sounds like a possible mini in the making. anyone in angola or near want to go talk to the people at Pokagon about the possibility of having such an event there???? Any dates, start throwing them out????? It could be a one day event? We can always go bigger in years to come, or if we get this thing figured out maybe eventually host the midwest reunion and share it with the good people who host the GL reunion.

If I may......
I've gone back and read these posts (that started over a year ago)and with the interest of about 6 people, you would think that one or two of you can get together and plan this mini out... It's going to take the dedication of just one or two guys to see it through, or it's never going to happen..

Suggestions from someone that knows...

1. Just pick a date
2. Just pick a lake
3. Just pick one day of on or off water gathering
4. If you can't get the support from a local CC dealer for a larger event, then just "get together"...
5. Bring lots of beer and make it happen...

I've heard 18 different lakes being offered up... Pick one !!!!! Sand bars reign supreme for get togethers. Makes it easy to roam around, check out all the members boats and easy for kids to have some fun..

If you can tie this in with a local event, all the better.. Adam from CC would be a great to get on board as well..

I'm going to pick up my boat next weekend from Wawasee. I can talk with Jim and Dave and see if they would be interested in doing a demo and or provide some merchandise etc.. (I'll let you know)....

Creating a mini or major event, and I've mentioned this a dozen times, someone to just get it started... Look back at how the St. John's river run has exploded, look at what Ryan is doing in Dallas... Mini's don't stay "mini" for very long !!!

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{All it Takes is a date and a lake}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

For best results and more participation, keep it a couple of weeks away from the Green Lake event. Then more people with think about it..

Talk is going on 15 months now. The thread is still active... Make it happen guys. You wont regret spending a weekend with CCF people.

Lastly, again, if you can make the GL event, there are plenty of places to stay and camp sites available. Get there and experience the best time you can have with your boat and some of the most awesome people you'll ever meet..

And look at the great time we had at White Lake Marine this year.

Who's next ??

Well, I picked up my 211 from Wawasee.. Wholly crap this place was hopp'n.... No way to corner any decision makers about helping with reunion participation... Sorry, you'll have to make contact yourself.. Ask for Jim..

Magic, I mentioned to them before about Green Lake, which of course is a little more than removed by distance to central Wisc, but I mean, there was guys flying around this little marina like I've never seen before... I ran into the owner a few times while I was there waiting to get some trailer lights repaired and a few short niceties while he was flying by with the walkie in his hands was about it...

Crazy busy. Now for sure it's got to be like pulling teeth to get these guys to participate..

Yes it does and they have a house boat converted for dinning and have diner cruises and party rentals too.

there is another resturaunt on the lake as well call the Channel Mark. I liked this place more than I did the frog food wise, now Friday or Saturday night during the season, party on at the frog, just watch out for the lake patrol on the way home.

Sorry you are just getting into the reunion thing but you could always plan for next year and drive a couple hundred miles. We do it in New England and its worth the trip.

(not meant to sound offensive, just a suggestion)
