Planning still in the works - but a fun weekend of hanging out, sharing techniques, slinging some paint, and just plain fun!
For you fisherman - there is even a pond full of bass and blue gill that are fun to hook.
We have plenty of room for campers, and have a couple motels about 10 -15 minutes away. ....I will post info on those soon.

We are a month away from our Letterhead meet! We have a nice group coming.....there is still plenty of room for camping, haning out. And I did list some hotels. Alisha....you and Pat should make a trip up...fly to GR and we could get you up to Cadillac after the meet to see your kiddos. Posted by Alicia B. Jennings (Member # 1272) on :
Ehhhhh,,, ahhhhhhhh My hubby will be in So. Cal. that week at his brother's 60th B-Party. I will be at home caring for our little 15 year old doggie. She is diabetic, has arthritis, can't hear too good and she also has doggie dementia. It costs $50.00 per day to board her. So one of us has to stay home. Sometimes we go on trips, but very few and in between. We don't know how long she will be here, but as long as she eats and poops and can run around a bit, we have to care for her. She used to be quite a personality around the house, bitting people on the legs, chasing all foreign animals in her territory, she once even bit a cop, but now she is a old lady dog who just wants to take it easy in her golden years.

I'll be across the lake from you in early August, in Wisconsin Rapids visiting my 96 year old father and 103 year old stepmother. I'll be trying to find out how to age more gracefully since I'm not doing a very good job of it myself. My parents moved from their home up there into assisted living about three months ago. They are very sharp mentally and quite mobile but needed to be able to call for help 24/7.
I'd love to go--it's been a long time for me. I'm sure Rick Beisiegel will be there as well. It's been too long since we've seen each other.

Gee Pat, I wish we could come.
The third grandchild was just born (with the second just a month prior to that), so that has had us traveling a lot, and we are buried in work right now.
Other than that, I would be there in a heartbeat.
Have fun everyone!

Great meet, Raaps! Your hospitality was over the top. You've got a special site there and your shop is about the best I've ever seen. I hope you have many more meets there in the future. We'll give the bluegills a break for now......
Thanks, again!!!!!!!!!!
