With this being the 'big' anniversary meet, there's talk of some European visitors.  The question is...how 'big' do we want it?  Want TI to do a group catered meal?  Want a t-shirt with registration?  Want Vance to shoot video, etc...

If we're going to do some special additions, we'll need to nail down costs early so everyone can start budgeting.

Ok, I'm putting it on the calendar this year, and I'm blocking off the dates.  I have some work to do in the spring to make the run.  But I'm optimistic.  Just signed up over here.  I have been documenting my build over on the classic Glastron site.   Fingers crossed see you all in April

FYI...I did move my reservation to the Nichols Inn.  It's $40/nt less and all I really need is a bed.  Details are posted above.

I still expect to camp...but nice to have a bed on hold if I decide I want it.

I talked to Jennie this morning and I think we have the hotel reservation thing sorted out ...
Tell them your with CGOAMN ...
She'll be send me some info, plus our options for catering.
She would like to see our event itinerary, so that needs to be looked over and changes made if need be.
 
Summer is on vacation, Jennie sent her an email, so I'll talk with her when she get back.

Room discounts ...
Were not getting a discount on rooms, but were "Locked In" at  those rates.
With a wedding (300 people) and up to two concerts (one inside and one outside) , room rate will go as high as $250 per night.

I will update, as I get more info ...
Sorry for all the confusion.

I rented a slip the past two years, but never used it last year.  Was considering just beach parking it like last year, but with a Saturday wedding on the beach, will this be a problem?

Anyone have any idea what time the wedding is, could likely be afternoon, which we would be out anyway.  I probably still need to make reservations for camping, so at least they/we have a count.

The wedding is on Sat. from 3:00 to 3:30 on the beach.
Summer asked if we could be respectful and not pull up to beach, revving motors & throwing empty beer bottles ...
We should all still be at the Kinni around that time, but if you get back early be aware.
Thank you.

Wedding on beach means the outlet should be turned on !
YA ...

"The cutoff date is 7/27/17.   On that date we will put any not picked up back in the hotel block to be sold."

If you want a room better book now.

    Does the weather report indicate frost in the bowling area?   I know its probably a hassle, but the pizza we used to get at Red Wing(Liberty's I think) was far better, and I didn't need a jacket to eat it.

The best thing about the meet is you can choose to not participate in any activity you don't want to, so if you want Liberty's you're absolutely free to do so!

Thanks Vance ...

HEADS UP: Access to TI Campgrounds

Due to construction on west end of TI casino (front left end) the branch of the access road to the campground is blocked off.
  It is necessary to go past the casino  about 2-3 blocks) and take the  left that goes by the RV parking area. 
This road joins back to the campground road.

Hello everyone, reading through this thread in anticipation for this weekend!

It will be our first year and are very excited to join all of you, just curious about boat parking. We currently have two slips reserved we are bringing two 18 footers but I am seeing some people park on the beach overnight for free?  Is this an option?  I would rather do this if possible but wanting to hear advice.

We will be arriving Friday morning coming form Prescott WI, will have two 1989's Futura 180 & 18CSS
See you all then!
Baylen Rifleman.

Yes, you can park on the beach overnight.  I don't believe that costs any money provided you're camping or using the hotel. 

The schedule is up to date...so yes, be there by 9AM and get launched and ready as soon as possible.  Safety briefing and departure come up very quickly.

See you then!

Just a few......DOZEN old Glastron's showed up on a rainy Friday. If your still on the hook about coming out Saturday please come out! It's going to be a great day. Easily over 50 boats, lots of sun, and a great time. The Carlson Matise CPC-24 is even here from California!

I was surprised no one else wanted to stop and see it, thought it was cool, even though it wasn't a Glastron.  Just added up the fuel receipts, spent nearly $300 in fuel for the four days.  No one has commented on my posting of the Nauti hawg burger yet, kind of a staple of ours when we come up to MN.
