I have to work til 5am Sat. And be back by 11pm Sun. Depending on how tired I am, I'm going to try and make an overnighter of it. It's only a 6 hour drive, I could be there by noon!

Since a few are mentioning what they are bringing along to pass, my wife wanted me to relay that besides the orange drink mix, she's made some chili soup and also some mixed fruit.   :)

Well Everyone...  We have come to the end of yet another great meet!  I'm excited to see that there is a Photo's and Video's archive building at www.photobucket.com/cgoamn_2012. Please feel free to post your pictures and video's there!

The question has been raised about how many people and boats we had in attendance.  It's often hard to get a specific count, but I believe that we are close...  I counted 38 boats in the boat parade.  Then, there were a few boats that arrived later in the afternoon, and 1-2 that were still on trailers.  I believe that we had 45 boats in attendance this year.  I would also guess that we had between 130-140 people in attendance.  Lastly, we had at least 7 states that I counted, and there may have been 8!  What an awesome event!

I would like to express my sincere gratitude for each and every person that had their hands on this event.  No one person is greater than any other, and I thank all of you for your part.  I am constantly amazed by the generosity, support, interest, talents, and participation by this group.  It was GREAT to see some old friends, and even better to get to know so new ones.

I am thankful that we didn't have any major injuries, and that there were no major breakdowns.  To my knowledge, there were even a few boats that came to the meet not running, and left having been repaired!

NEXT YEAR-

The 6th Annual CGOAMN Glastron Classic will be August 15th-18th, 2013.  It will be located at Island Campground and Marina, Hagar City, WI. (Red Wing).


Again, a HUGE debt of gratitute to each and every one of you who participated in this event and made it something special.  I'm honored to serve you all!

Brian - I had a campground resident come up to me after the parade and I'd returned tell me he counted 47 boats, which was before Jerry Sellner arrived with his 4 boats.  So that would have put us at 51? And I don't believe that the CVX-20 Jet was in his numbers either...putting us at 52.

Dunno, but there was a lot!

I'm happy to bolster the number any way that we can...  Let's say 50+!  That's GREAT!

And btw...huge thanks to Shawn for the goodies and wood!  (Or stealing Brian's wood?)

Not gonna lie seeing you & Brian's families made me miss having young kids!  (Not that mine are that much older...)

Now...about that CVZ Brian...I'll send you my contacts for the project hulls I know of.  Lots of warm weather left for you Shawn to work on the coolest boats on the water.  ;)  I hear you know a pretty good paint guy too.

I sure would like to think I could have my CVZ18 water ready for this event next year, just put it on the calendar on the iPhone. Google Maps says it is 1,155 miles from my door. What is the farthest away member you had this year?? I grew up camping and loved it but we aren't campers now, does the campground have rental campers that are available? We don't have any gear at all. We could stay at a hotel but being there at the camp looks like the place to be.

Here is where I am at, lots of work to do!

Looks GREAT!  We are thrilled to hear that you are coming up!  If you are not a camper, a hotel across the river might be the place to be.  Jim and Brian (and families) do that, along with some others.  I think that they would say that the experience is worth it...

The furthest distance traveled is usually Chris Kochman...  He comes up from Phoenix each year.  He hasn't missed a meat yet, but...  To my knowledge you would be the first from NC.  I lived in NC for 6 years, so it's going to be great to hear that accent again!  Maybe I can convince you to bring up some country ham for me...  I know that Charlotte isn't quite the mountains of western NC, but I bet you could find some good country ham anyway, right?

Looking  forward to meeting you!!!
