KY, TN reunions

Jerry, probably not as there are several throughout the year in the neighboring states where there is a greater concentration of CCFans. we have a few in Ky and a few in Tenn so maybe you could start a gathering on your own. Ya, never know the SJRR started out a few years back with a few fans showing up a couple days early before the Daytona 500 and doing some boating to an ALL out gathering to kick off the season.

where are current events being held in neighboring states?
Ohio, Indiana, West Va, Georgia, Illinois
If nothing is going on in those states as well as KY and TN
then yes we need another site.
Louisville,KY is 1 - 4 1/2 hrs drive to Cincinnati, Columbus,
Dayton, Indianapolis, St.Louis, Nashville, Knoxville, Lexington
Huntington and 6 hrs from Atlanta, Chicago, Birmingham
I guess that's why the UPS World Hub is here.

Seems the best way to do it is like Reid's were a few people say they are getting together and the next thing you know there are 15 boats moored in front of the house and tents all over the place. Good times!

ky, before you bail off into unknown waters, come to one of the events that has a known track record. This will show you the logistics and the amount of effort that is needed to have an event that will continue to grow year after year.
Camping, and boat launch at the same area are must haves, a watering hole close by with cheap food are also needed.Another plus will be an area that will allow beaching and a place to gather and look and talk boats, beer and look at the babes.......
Ryan got a taste of a real event last year at SJRR 2010, this will allow him to better prepare for his 2nd try at hosting a better event for all.........JMHO          Boat dr

I planed 6 weeks ago to attend the SJRR by making reservations in Astor on the river. I'm waiting to see if my work schedule is going to allow it to happen. I hope so.
I'm just gathering opinions from folks who have done this before. Because I think it would be great to have a gathering in the KY, TN area in the future sometime. Yes, I agree it would help to attend another event/reunion. Thanks to all for the info

I have a lake lot in Clifton TN right on the river with good beach area and would be willing to consider hosting a get together if anyone is interested. Most of the reunions do not work for me this year. Let me know if we could get some interest. Although the subdivision I have my lot does not allow camping there is one just around the corner.

Here is what I am thinking:

Billed as a CC owner get together over a long weekend (Friday, Sat and Sunday-I am up for longer if all interested wanted to).

Not an official organized event, ie: no t-shirts made (unless someone wanted to make and sell), no fee, ect. Simply bring your boat, friends and family, we all pitch in for food and we simply have a good time.

Dates are open for me. I have a flexible schedule and could arrange whenever with the exception of the last of July.

Now understand this is a vacant lot. It will have water, besides the river, and should have power ( I am meeting the local power company on Tuesday to see about putting up temporary power). I would have to rent a porta-john for the get together. There is a boat launch in the subdivision

There is a campground not far from the lot. As I said it is a mildly restrictive subdivision that does not allow camping on your open lot.

I would be fine with just a couple of people who wanted to do this or as many as wanted to come.

Who is interested and throw out some dates?

Jerry,

It is right on the Tennessee River outside of Clifton. Clifton is a small quaint town in the west part of middle TN. It has couple of resturants, a golf course, marina ect. I have attached a picture of the river view from my lot. My lot is 60 feet wide and 200 deep with an easy grassy slope to a sand beach. When the river is at summer pool there will be less beach than shows in this picture. It is deep enough to pull the boat up to the shore. You would want to push the boat out before putting it into gear.



It sounds like with you, Air206 and myself we can set this up and anyone else interested can join in. I am game to begin the planning. I have added some links that would give you guys some more information.

Anyone else interested join in on the conversation. Throw some dates out.

I am ready let's do this!!!
