It is great, watched it 1 time and fell in love. Please look into this as I think we could get alot of the southern IlL guys involved in this one.
When is this show, and how much does it cost to get in? It sounds like a fun event. It's kind of a far drive for some of us from the Chicagoland area, but it would definetly be something to consider for a Chapter event.

I agree with John..........a long drive, but promises to be a great time at Gateway.

What about Carlyle Lake? What can you tell us about it?

Maybe we can make it a week end long thing for those of us up North.

I hope to have many free week ends with the new job, but........too soon to tell as of now.

I love this involvement from our members! It's getting better every day!

Thanks, Fastronald

The lake is HUGE. boat docks, pavalions, huge parking lots. I am going out there today to spot around some areas to see what would be a good place to have a party. Fishing tournaments get in the way sometimes, but mostly if you are there early in the day you can pick your spot. I will also inquire about reserving an area. I will post with what I find. I think everyone would love it.
