2015 CGOAMN Meet Annoucement!!! (August 13-16th)
dorelse:
The 8th Annual Minnesota Glastron Classic is moving!!!
All credit to Gregg, and the rest of the planning group (Jim, Jeff, Shawn, Joe, Jason) for pushing this decision, and doing the heavy lifting to get this done. I've had very little to do with this other than voicing some concerns with the shrinking room we had at Island Campground.
For 2015, the meet is moving to Treasure Island Resort & Casino!!! (Ok, its about 5 miles North of Red Wing...so not very far.)
They have everything we need, restaurants, hotel rooms, marina with gas, campgrounds, RV park and ROOM!!! Lots and lots of room!!!
Treasure Island is very happy to have us and is being both extremely helpful and flexible towards our group. We think this could be a perfect fit.
We're not ready for reservations or anything yet, but we have an entire campground reserved, dock space set aside, and we'll eventually have a block of rooms as well.
More details to follow!!!
Many thanks to Gregg and the rest of the guys for getting the ball rolling!
Here's the website for Treasure Island if you want to see all they have to offer: http://www.ticasino.com/
Cost is about the same overall, camping is a bit cheaper, dock rental is a bit more. Shouldn't be too much of a financial change.
Expect registration to open around March or April.

Very cool! That gives the group a lot more options for things to do and places to go. Better access to the TCs, the St. Croix river and many other places.
Red Wing will be missed, but it is still within a short cruise.
dorelse:
Honestly, we think everyone will be pleased with it. A nice sandy beach area, nice docks, things to do if it should rain, security camera & security folks to keep a watchful eye on things, etc.
The current thought is to go through the lock & dam on Friday (possibly), and Saturday will be a run North for lunch.
We'll need to find a new 'groove' to the weekend, but spread the word!
I added the 12th, as I'm planning on being there early, and anyone else is welcome to come Wednesday as well.

OK...
Were still in the early planning stages ...
Our T.I. contact is Summer Ryan, she manages the marina, slips, camping and RV park.
I believe Jim will take the lead again this year for Hotel rooms.
They will reserve a block of 10 to 20 for us.
If you get a camp spot you can launch for free, and have full use of pool and other stuff.
Day launch is $10 per day.
RV spot are up near casino / hotel, I asked Summer if RV's could park near camp sites (no power outlets) ... Waiting for reply ...
There is no power outlets by camp sites, members have portable generator, but have asked about getting power ... Waiting for reply ...
Summer has been great about getting back to me on any questions we have had, so if you have any ... POST THEM HERE !
