Lou....with a site????   

I gotta try to make it down there in the next few days

  Yea! Right! Lou with a site.... I bet it's the one just west of Sparta on the south side of 16...

   You know.. something about doing all his camping when he was active duty..

The ONLY camping Lou ever did in the past was next to a rice paddie...but I gotta respect him for that   HOPEFULLY though..he can do some more camping and be comfortable in the near future  

Hey ! Howdy ! Hey !  gang

ahutchison,

Welcome to the club and thank you for your interest in our meet.

The ultimate goal of the meet is to meet with fellow members to relax, catch a few Fish, and share a story or two around the campfire.

There are no set rules at the La Crosse meet for fishing (other then having a valid fishing license and adhering to the local size & bag limits) we do not have tournaments so there's no pressure to catch fish or special equipment needed bring what you have it's just members getting together and having a great time on and off the water.

 Here's a brief timeline of activities:

Wednesday

Members arrive throughout the day & setup camp, meet & greet with other members, help launch boats, or go into town to get supplies for the weekend etc.

 At 6:00pm we re-group for the first of the hosted nightly comfort meals at the host site.

 After dinner some member head back out for a little night fishing others fish from shore while others sit around a blazing campfire and share stories.

Thursday through Saturday

Is up to each member as to how they want to spend the day some Member's pair up and fish together, others just relax and visit around camp or fish from shore, some go site seeing, shopping and etc in town.

Sunday

Is the last day of the meet where members say their goodbyes! At breakfast before packing up for the trip home.

Meals:

As in the past a group of us will again host a group breakfast for members and their familys that attend the meet at 9:00 am each morning .

We will also be hosting  nightly comfort meals Wednesday night through Friday night at 6:00pm. 

 I will post an update with more info on the meals / menu as we get closer to July!!

Saturday night

 Is our signature  ** POT LUCK NIGHT ** at the Campgrounds Main Shelter here we ask that members bring a Meat of their choice to grill for themselves and a dish to pass for the Group. Afterward we will have the drawing of names for door prize's etc.

Also on Saturday, after the potluck dinner, there will again be a Worship Service with communion for those who wish to attend. We hope that all will join us in giving Thanks to the Lord for allowing us to share in the fellowship we enjoy each year at the meet.

Hope you can join us ! 

 Again thanks for your interest, if you have any other questions please let us know ?  if you have time check out our past meet topics 2009, 2008, there are some great pictures and stories posted by member under  each of the area and event.

Take Care and God Bless
