Hey Scott are we still stuck at 34 ?

It just hit me , We are just a bit over 3 weeks away

I have a few treasures I found at goodwill going cheap

Anyone else wanting a red neck water heater this one is a 40 cup coffee maker.

Have a new still in the box Honeywell 1500 watt heater !

Rival electric ice cream freezer brand new !

We purchased a coleman full size air mattress at $90.00 +

willing to find it a new home for $60.00 ( Used 1 evening )

If you might be interested in a lid lifter let me know! The 14" ers are still available for $20.00. I am only bringing enough to cover the requests.

Can someone fill me in on what I'm supposed to buy/bring for the door prize.
I looked through 10 pages of the thread, but ran out of time to keep searching (work calls...)

Thanks!

One inexpensive camping related item.

I am bringing a couple of these....



I went to Goodwill yesterday and found some neat picnic trays that hold your food your silverware and a big tumbler drink ... and plastic tumblers that happen to fit like a glove, A set of 4 trays and tumblers was just over $5.00 total. All were brand new still in the wrapper. I will toss them as well.

Door prizes are strictly on an if you want basis, It's not a mandatory thing that everyone bring something. If you got a neat little camping something laying around that you want to donate for the drawing that's great. Each registered campsite with the group will be put into the drawing hat and site numbers pulled until items are all claimed.

We're getting close now I'm so ready.

Rob, sorry, I wasn't very specific about door prises.

The donated prizes can be about anything but usually something "camping related" would be a good thing.

I'm bringing some tote bags, as well as some other things that could be used for camping.

It doesn't need to be expensive or elaborate but something useful.

I guess from here , your imagination will need to be used.

Thanks for bringing it up. Hope this helps.

Scott and Kurt,

Thank you!

I remembered that I was supposed to remember to bring something, but couldn't remember just what...

Didn't want to show up and say; uh oh!

Rob

[Mark72]

A little something that tells us something about you or what you do is great! I've got mine ready..

Make it 35 !!! I just reserved site 175 in the yappie dog section. Bringing mine along too.

I met Dan at Cooler Near the Lake and he has us convinced you're a crazy and fun group. So add another chapter to the list ~ Coming from Minnesota and the St Croix Chapter will be represented.

I'll be arriving on the 20th.
Will bring wine for Friday.
Will bring something for the potluck (haven't gotten that far).
Will bring donation for drawing.

Let me know if I'm missing something.

See you soon.

Just keeps getting better, Welcome Sandy once you join a Hoosier gathering it's hard not to return. I'm proud to say I think we do have one of the best groups around and that makes it easy to have a successful gathering.

Sandy, if you know Dan & Suzie, you already have a taste of the group. We all have a great time without being too crazy. I hope you'll have as much fun as you want at the gathering.
