We will "most likely" be renting the picnic shelter for the fish fry event.

There will be some of us that will be there Fri - Sun .... and I'm hearing a rumor that a certain member may be providing Fri evening's meal for anyone that wishes to partake. I will let him post the particulars when we start the thread for volunteers bringing food and other items, and we get a sense of how many people would be there for that meal. This is in place of Chucky's Chili Dinner that we had last year.

How long one books lodging will depend on how long they want to stay, or are able to stay. I believe the Holmes Bend cabins/lodge have a 2 night minimum stay ... but, I don't know for sure, yet. I still have to consult with Chucky on the details and possibly get him to talk to Holmes Bend on our behalf.

Lodge rates are posted on the Holmes Bend Marina website, along with their contact info. They have 2 & 3 bedroom cabins, Lodge rooms, and one room sleeper cabins for rent. The Holmes Bend Campground is a separately owned/operated entity, so campsite reservations must be done through them, not the Marina. The picnic shelter is run by the COE, and its rental has to be done through them (which I'm taking care of).
Pap ... Is the Fling April 28 date definite enough for me to book a cabin ...??
