The 5th Annual Toledo Bend Gathering the last weekend of February

February 24 and 25 that is. Once again, the event will be held at the SRA San Miguel park. All are welcome (including pets). Park website:

Sabine River Authority • State of Louisiana • Toledo Bend Fishing & Camping Information

On the website menu, click on parks, then San Miguel for information. The enclosed pavilion/lodge has been reserved for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday as we have done previous. And, I must say, works nicely for us, a very nice facility. There are nine of us who have already booked our cabins for this event. Ann and I are in cabin 15 once again.

We'll have our potluck again on Friday evening, then our fry on Saturday evening as before. It's always fun to taste everyone's dishes. Thursday open - it was cool though when we had my chili and Danny's vegetable soup that evening last time. Whatever you folks want to do. I'll post a food/supply list after the holidays/first of the year (and, hopefully Bruce will keep updated as before).

We will also, once again, have a raffle on Saturday evening for a very good local cause - Sabine Council on Aging. This has been very much appreciated by these folks, and have put the funds to a very good use. Danny and I will not solicit for door prizes, nor for the raffle items, although sponsors are more than welcome to donate and will be appreciated. Danny will post a separate thread on our raffle I'm sure as he has done previously. I'll post more after he starts his post.

Come join us for fine food, fellowship, and fun!

I will be there again in Cabin # 1 Cray is coming with me again.

​Cabin 10 again.

Linda and I will be there also in Cabin #6.
"gene"

I'll be there in what ever cabin Danny and Mae were in last year, can't remember the #.

Start new job tomorrow morning. Retirement did not last long.

I am looking forward to the gathering!

Excellent, sure have enjoyed you fellas being there. Tell Bill to make sure to bring plenty of that tator salad so I can tote some home. That man makes a serious Texas tator salad folks.

Didi and I will be in Cabin 17 as usual.....

For those who have not heard this yet....San Miguel has TV now....in most all cabins I believe....

Hey guys, I am looking forward to coming again this year. Also I know Bob (snake River) is planning on coming from Oregon and guys Danny (fishfried) has a room and I believe looking for a roommate and maybe someone to fish with. He would be coming from near Austin Tx.

Really looking forward to this again as it's always a lot of fun! Hopefully I can get some jigs tied for it too!

I have cabin 3. Wouldn't mind sharing room. It's one of the remodeled cabins with tv. I plan to bring my boat so will have an empty seat. I did fish with D and fishervet some last time I came. What a ride in D's boat! Hope I get to do that again too.

Thanks Bob, we really appreciate it. Such an excellent sponsor you are supporting our event every year. What is really special is that I didn't even ask, never have, you just do it. Thanks again.

Hope you can make it Bob

Mitch Glenn, formally with Arkie Lures, will be joining us at the gathering. He'll be staying with G and Cray. It sure will be a huge pleasure to visit with him, looking forward to it.

Mitch is a fine man.

Regretfully, Mae and I will not make the event this time. Some of you may know, we are moving to Tennessee and we will be mid move at the time of the gathering. I will wait a couple days to cancel cabin 5 reservations. If someone wants it, pm me and we can coordinate a time for me to cancel and you to reserve it. I have given the stuff I was storing to Bruce and he will bring it up. I had bought a few things and I think all that is needed is a box of gallon ziplocs, large aluminum trays and one more pack of large paper plates. No plastic ware, bowls or cups needed. I hope in the future we get back for an event, they are so enjoyable and we have enjoyed you guys so much. I also sent a few items for the raffle, please keep it going if y'all can. The seniors really appreciate our donations. Thanks for the great times and please wish us well in our relocation. Heck, come on up and see us. We will be building and living in our 5th wheel. Hope to be moved in to the new place for July 4th. Also, Randy, Franks Tamales is on Coon Ridge Rd. telephone number 318-645-6003. I sure will miss them haha. You guys have a safe and great time. Lots of pics please. Danny and Mae

Danny, we are really going to miss you and Mae! Y'all be sure to come back to the gatherings as often as possible!
