Forum Fest V was a success! THANK YOU!

Rattlesnake Gal · 09-23-2008, 03:56 PM

It looks like R-Guy and I missed a great time.

Congratulations rrr you are one lucky lady to own two of Quilt Lady’s wonderful creations!

Nice job Argie’s Wife! Thanks for making ForumFest V happen. The Loon Center is a very worthy cause. Thank you Steve A for suggesting it and securing the location. This year’s raffle contributions look terrific – thanks everyone!

See you all next year at ForumFest VI!

but... all the credit goes to Krista.. without her it would not have happened.

All I did was make chilli!

rrr - did all the work on the raffle.. ( and won the grand prize..

)

I was very happy that Harry Vogel spoke. He really did a good job explaining what the Loon Center is all about. All present have a much better understanding of the Loon Center. We also learned that our very own Loon Center is considered the best in all of the USA!

I'm very proud to be a "Winni Forum" member. We did good this year. It was, and is, a worthy cause.

Sooo.... are you kickin' back and postin' on the forum while your lawn gets mowed?

SteveA · 09-23-2008, 04:41 PM

ACutAbove get's off cheap with us. Great prize.. very small lawn...

maybe I can get him to till my garden?

PS... thank you ACutAbove... when you hear a Loon call... think.. "I did that"

rrr · 09-23-2008, 05:20 PM

Krista did all the work - I just counted $$$ (one of my favorite things to do!)

riverat · 09-24-2008, 06:34 AM

I knew I would be sorry if I missed the Fest, and I am

But I had conflicting dates and had to choose one

The last Fest I went to was a blast and I met some wonderful folks, so I knew what I was missing. Sorry I could not make but maybe the next one. Good Job everyone!

Grant · 09-26-2008, 09:55 AM

Thanks for posting the photos. Looks like a good turnout, and nice $ raised for the center.

Who made that cake?

Argie's Wife · 09-26-2008, 11:25 AM

The cake was from Darcy at Love Bites - it not only looked awesome but tasted awesome! We were sooooooooo impressed!

Just let me know when you want it done.
Thats one of the great things about my job, I go to propertys all over the lake and very often can hear the loons on the water.

Curious...

Did anyone take a group pic of Forum Fest V, like the one taken at FF IV?

P.S.- Enjoyed the pics that were posted...

I don't think anyone took a full group picture this year at FF V. A lot of cameras and many pix taken though. I still have more FFV pix to post - more people. I'll try to post them soon but I am having computer issues.

SIKSUKR · 11-21-2008, 03:59 PM

I think I saw a photo of myself and Pineedles.That might have been the group shot but the 2 of us took up the whole frame.

Pineedles · 11-21-2008, 04:46 PM

Don took that picture of us. But being the computer expert he used computer trick photography to make it seem as if we are big guys. I'm only 5 feet nine inches and weigh 150 pounds.

SIKSUKR · 11-24-2008, 12:03 PM

Well then that makes me about the same.Can somebody tell my pants that?

Argie's Wife · 11-24-2008, 03:27 PM

So... are you picky about who you want talking to your pants?

I'm sure we could put that up for next year's raffle....

SIKSUKR · 11-26-2008, 10:53 AM

Apparently I'm not but they keep telling me they are smaller than I thought.
