This is a chance for everyone to meet fellow forum members, place a face with a name and further define the fellowship this site has created over the years.
As with last year’s Social this will be a family event and a group effort on everyone's part. Everyone is encouraged to bring their favorite covered dish - to share with the group. We will also need other things for the event for those that do not want to bring food; a list of what will be needed is listed below. We will be frying fish, grilling some hot dogs and hamburgers for the kids. Please bring a utensil to serve your dish.
Parkway Marine has been generous enough to donate a Jon-boat that will be raffled off in a special raffle. Raffle tickets for the Parkway Marine boat give away will be $10 each.
Raffle: Everyone who signs up ahead of time and checks in at the Social will get one ticket. Additional tickets will be available for $1.00 each. All proceeds go to website maintenance and upkeep.
Special Raffle Item - If you would like an additional free raffle ticket bring one new fishing lure with you to the event. One lure being a pack of soft plastics, a rapala, a mirrolure, etc. The lure will need to be in its original bag, box, etc. We will take this lure and place it in a tackle box. The tackle box full of member provided lures will be included in a separate raffle.
NOTE - You only get one free ticket when you bring a lure, if you bring three more lures you do not get three more tickets.
Time - 11:00 a.m. until

Not many things could keep me from making it, but a conference in Maui is one of those things.
