Thread: INFO ABOUT THE ANNUAL D'ARBONNE GATHERING.

Wow that sounds GREAT i cant wait I have a wife that is a Culinary Expert so if you can name it she can cook it so if there is something that we can bring as the time gets closer Please let me know or I can just show up with some stuff

We eat about anything and I'll start a tracking thread a little later so we don't end up with 15 pots of chili. Lol.... Just so everyone knows who is bringing what. Then you can just let me know if you'd like to bring something. We are in cabin 2, so we'll see ya there!

scott, when you get your list started you can put me down for butt bites, name tags/sharpies, and some soda pops!! i will do more if needed. thanks for spearheading the food again!!

i wanna thank RMGEORGE for reserving the pavillion for us. but here is another thought that we might wanna consider. we talk about this every year and just never do it. they have a group "cabin" that will sleep about 30, with two private bedrooms. the other sleeping arrangements is bunk style. but here is the biggest draw to getting the group cabin. they have a commercial style kitchen, and dining room that is much bigger than a normal cabin. we could have plenty of space for everyone to eat, and plenty of stove/oven room for preparing food. also, unlike the pavillion, we could drop off cookers, etc on friday and it would be secure and safe while we fished. it would require three groups of us, or more, to make this happen. the cost of the group cabin, as i recall, is about 2 and a half the cost of a normal cabin. so if three of us that have a cabin rented would be willing to "trade" our cabin for the group cabin, it would actually reduce our cost. and then we would have plenty of room for anyone who needed a place to stay at the last minute. my group doesnt need either of the private bedrooms since it will be just guys in my party.

if anyone is willing to consider going in with me and my group in this group cabin let me know. if we do this this year and it is not as good as we hope, we can always go back to individual cabins next year.

james, southern chuter, is going to get us some pics of the group cabin so we can know better what we are dealing with. also he will find out what options we have if we have already reserved a cabin.

we have grown so much we just need more space. yall think about and look for more info and pics.
