Oklahoma Crappie Camp Update - 2 June 2014

UPDATE: 2 June 2014

Oklahoma Crappie Camp

Great News!! We now have 64 confirmed folks signed up for the 1st Oklahoma Crappie Camp at Lake Eufaula, Arrowhead State Park's Turkey Flat Campgrounds!

The "Tasking & Supply" list still has a few items that we need someone to bring to the Camp. Please take a look at the list below and respond as soon as possible...as we will have to buy any items that are missing. If you are unable to bring something, please donate $5.00 (or more) at the Registration Table located at the Pavilion where the food events will be held. Registration opens at 3:30 pm on both Friday and Saturday.

Also, it is important that we remember that this is an event for everyone, including the folks that have been working hard to organize the event and those that are preparing the food. When you get to the Turkey Flat Campgrounds..... please pitch in and help. We need help in setting up the cooking equipment, setting up the serving tables, taping tablecloths to the Park benches under the Pavilion, cooking, serving food at the food tables, cleaning up, etc, etc, etc. On Friday and Saturday at 6:00 pm, we will start serving the food, so a lot of things have to happen before then. For our 1st Crappie Camp to be successful........ Everyone needs to help!!

Remember: Bring your Lawn Chairs!

Be sure and come by the "Hospitality Canopy" located in the RV camping area. It is intended to be a gathering place for everyone to relax and talk. There will be an "honesty rule" enforced, so no "tall tales or outright lies" about crappie fishing.

RAIN...RAIN...GO AWAY!!!!
TWC and Accuweather forecasts as of 7:35 pm, June 2, 2014 is predicting 25-30% chance of rain on Friday and 20% chance on Saturday, so be prepared. Everything is still on GO! for the cookouts and the Big Crappie Tournament.

Remaining Items needed for Crappie Camp!

■ Saturday, June 7th ....... "Meet & Greet" Fish Fry

• CRAPPIE - We have 230 filets on hand and could use 40 more. We are planning on feeding 60 folks. Contact Woodworker42 if you have crappie to donate on Friday and/or Saturday.

Dave, I am sure even with the 230 fillets we will have enough for every one along with all the fixins we're having. I know some can eat more than others and will :biggrin.

I to am donating what is caught Friday to the cause. I would say it is safe to say we are good on the crappie donations as well. Merle will make sure of that Friday when we fish.

If we do get storms be very careful, the system that will affect us Fri and Sat produced several storms last night with major winds events. The SPC reported several over 80 and two at 100 MPH and large hail. The storms should stay right along and north of the front as the front slowly comes our way. Right now that front is forecast to move slowly south and end up just north of the Eufaula area, somewhere around Tulsa on Sat., but we know how forecasting in Oklahoma is an very unexacting science. If the front does sag as far south as Eufaula, make sure all your camping stuff is secure from high winds.

Back when Arrowhead State Park had a lodge, the bar was considered a storm shelter because it was underground (it was also nice because the bar had a huge window that looked into the deep end of the pool -- it was fun to watch honeymooners "playing" when they didn't know everyone in the bar could see them). I remember my folks taking me there anytime a cloud rolled by overhead. But unfortunately now neither the bar nor pool exist anymore.
