Thanks Ricky for offering to make name tags for the Hontoon Gathering! We treasure the ones you gave us last year.
I checked with the park yesterday and they still have a few slips available, so reserve now. We plan on doing our pizza lunch and chicken lunch as we have done in the past. As things have changed at Hontoon, no folding tables or chairs will be available. We can of course use any available picnic tables. Please be sure to bring your own chairs. Unfortunately, we will not be able to have the silent auction this year, but if you have something to sell to others you are welcome to do so. Strangely, with the new concession the park is NOT accepting donations but feel free to purchase items at the camp store.
Question….we normally have speakers that will give talks on boating hints and safety. What topics would benefit you? What topics might you want to share with the group? Please PM me with replies.
When you approach the park, please be on Channel 72 with your lines and fenders ready.
One of the best places to launch is at Ed Stone park on Hwy 44 Please park as far away from the ramp as possible.
There are many manatees in the area ….be aware.
Also, be sure to register on this site so that we know you are coming,,,,it also lets Ricky know what name tags to make.
I’ll post more in a week or so…..see you at Hontoon!
