Back by popular demand...Bobfest 2012!

I have reserved 3 rooms at Holiday Inn Express for Thursday night and 13 for Friday and Saturday. All are Kings except 3 are double Queen rooms on Fri. and Sat.

Jeff Waters is lined up again for our BBQ chef. He was great last year. Ribs, chicken, brisquit, and we'll smoke a couple of salmon fillets. Any suggestions or requests?

I'm working on the fireworks permit

DJ will be here too!

I know more are coming. Looking forward to bigger and better!

Mid america is on board again, so lets show them!

Bob

Talked with my pyrotechnic guy last week about Bobfest and MAM. (He owns a couple of Vettes) and he may be willing to come down and put the show on for us, if he's available then. I'll keep on him and see if it will happen.

I don't believe he drinks, so that would be a plus dealing with explosives. He does however look like he can eat....if you know what I mean, so you may have to increase the food quantity!!!

Everyone already knows, 5AM would crucify me if I didn't bring her to this event.

Count us in!

Does this mean I can go ahead and make my reservations now?

What are the dates this event takes place. We are sort of slow here in Kansas and takes a while for things to sink in.
Sounds like fun
