Special THANKS to all who sponsored and donated at KY ShinDig.

Whew! My knees still ache but boy did I have a wonderful weekend!!!

First. Ed Moes, "Slab", Thank You for your vision that became such a great reality. Thanks for all the merchandise and assistance you provided.

Second. BillBob, I am so grateful you were able to be here and for the fact you are doing so much better than you were at the KY SpringFling at Green River in April. You are in our prayers.

Third. Kenny "chaunc" Smith, my Brother from another Mother, thank you for making the trip down from Pa and for sharing my boat with me Friday and breakfast today. Vicki will grow tried of me talking about the day we stunk it up on KY Lake and neither of us cared.

Fourth. Tom "Cane Pole' and Miss Brenda, the room lit up when you guys walked into the pavilion Saturday. Thanks for all you have done for this site over the years. I'm proud to call the both of you my friends. It meant so much to me for Miss Brenda to seek me out for a good-bye hug before you both left.

Fifth. Jere and Miss Patty Hughes, Thanks for your wonderful cast iron cooking and food. It is always a highlight of the event.

Last but not least, Special Thanks to all who took time out of their busy schedules and traveled long distances to make our event such a success. 11 states were represented! What other event can top that?

To all who brought food, donated prizes, set up to show product lines, and helped set up and break down, Thank You!

Please post names of others I might have missed.

Thanks to all as well. We had a great time an looking forward to next year.

I would like to thank everyone for your warm hospitality. What a great camp,shindig, get together. Great food, great presentations, and impressive organization for a group that large and no one designated as in charge. Things went awful smooth. Each and every local member working hard to make it happen and making all us out of towners feel welcome. Got to see old friends I haven't seen in quite a while and make a few more new friends. My first in KY but definatley won't be my last. Anyone reading this that might want to put on a camp should get in touch with mrducks and ask him for advice because they put on a first class operation, thanks in a big part to the great group of members who participate in getting everything done. And a special thanks to all the ladies who made deserts, prepared food and shepherded their husbands and boyfriends through all this. Thank you Doug and Rickie for the invitation. I throughly enjoyed myself even though we didn't fish.

Brenda and I had a real large time. This shindig is more like a family reunion than a shindig. Heck, it is a family reunion. You can just feel the warmth and joy of your brothers and sisters. We try to chat with everyone, but if we missed anyone, well we with chat next time.

Thanks to all for the joy and memories you bring unto Brenda and myself.

Tom

Me and Scottymoe really enjoyed the event and I plan on making another one hopefully with a little better weather. Can't say who will join me on the next trip. Thanks to everyone who had a hand in putting it on. One of the best I have attended.

I can't believe I missed Sportsman's Lodge and Marina as donors. Heather and the crew did a great job making Crappie.com members and families feel at home and donated some nice items as well as coffee and donuts on Fridays for all who chose to come by.
