Thread: Toledo Bend gathering the last weekend of February

George, it's "aini't it da truff".
"gene"

And please bring anything for the raffle. Nothing physically huge, but anything else you want to contribute. Proceeds will go to the same organization, and we will try to get a representative to come out and eat and greet saturday. That way we can present the money after the raffle. If you want we can start a new thread and you can post pix of items you will be bringing. Although we are not soliciting prizes from the sponsors, some prizes may show up anyway. These will be given out like usual and will not be in the raffle unless designated for such by the sponsor. We are not trying to sell the free gifts, so to speak. Danny

Very good my friend, well said - I agree. We are supporting the Sabine Council of Aging, a local group. All funds go to them, nothing is skimmed off the top for the "administration fees", etc. I know some folks tear up the free door prizes at the various gatherings, but Danny and I think this is a good thing. The chicks think we're cool .

Excellent! Will be great to see you guys again. I hope Bill brings some more of that tator salad! Fella's, that was some Texas tator salad from the word go. Yours truly toted some of that home.

it was good!!!! i will make sure he brings it!!!

will see you boys there again Randy make sure you bring that cooler in the back of the pickup also some of that squeezing in the little bottles you know that good tasting stuff.

Couple important Notes: First shadow has been kind to us supplying shrimp for the frying on Saturdays. This year he is bringing them again. We are gonna help him out by having a shrimp peeling party in the pavillion either Thursday night after the treck to the El Gyro's or Friday night after the pot luck. All volunteers please show up. It takes a while to peel and devein 3 gallons of shrimp. Second and most important. The main complaint the last couple years is how late we eat. To help that Randy and I have moved up the fish pot weigh in to 3:30 at the fish cleaning station. This will help us to get the Saturday dinner going and served by hopefully 6 to 6:30. I can do the weigh in if it is a problem for anyone wanting to fish later and not weigh in. But be there at 3:30 if you want to weigh and participate for the pot. Once again it will be $5 per day.(a thread will be added later) We need to get the dinner done early, so we can get on with the raffle. We are inviting a representative from the Senior center to partake of the activities Saturday night and will present them the money after the raffle ends. I will be putting some item pics on that thread tomorrow. Please feel free to add to them. Tickets this year will be $1 for one, $5 for 6.
