Well darn. My fault, I didn't swear Steve to secrecy!
OK, even though we have not confirmed this yet, here is the "TENTATIVE" plan for Saturday: Under full Police escort once again, like Fling 1 and II, we will be fully escorted from London, by no less than three police departments to Deer Creek.
This is #1 of 3 parts for Saturday afternoon/night! For those that want to do a real time old fashioned picnic we ( read Steve and Doug) are setting this up. The park is giving us as much area as we want or need. We can picnic all night, or until you are simply picnicked out.
2nd: If you are not into the picnic thing, the State of Ohio is turning the Lodge over to us. An absolutely georgeous stone lodge witha fine restaurant! Randy and I are meeting with the Lodge manager, the chef, the state director, and manager of the Lodge next week. They will cater to us, open the restaurant to us and, they promise to pamper us like no one before! In fact "they" are already trying to talk us into making Deer Creek part of the annual Fling!
#3: This is a state park. It has a huge lake, with hundreds of feet of beach! (Keep in mind, this is Ohio guys, not Florida, but it is one of the nicest places I know of in Ohio.
There is fishing, swimming and boating for all that may want to partake. In fact I have reserved every boat in their inventory for our event! They have pontoon boats for those that may want to cruise in something a little more quiet
, wave runners, ski boats, with all the equipment of course, and fishing boats, all available to us! For those that may want to use the boats, there will be a fee, payable to them. They indicated that they could probably come up with a discount for us, and/or donate something to Jenny. (More on this as it becomes available.)
You wanted to get back to the basics? Well I think we are. This is a good thing. Friday will be pretty cool too, and busy! Sunday...well, shall we say we're changing that too. But, the more we change it the more it stays the same
It's going on the 17th hour of the day. I think I'm a little pooped. As soon as we confirm Deer Creek I'll let you know, as well as the other events for this year as plans firm up. In the mean time "YOU" tell me if there is enough interest in the "picnic". It will depend on you!
DV... if you come--you "WILL" come back!
