Re: Spring NutCase Event?

I might be able to. If I remember right the car show will be over at around 1 or 2 then we clean up and I would probably be off around 3 or 4. Maybe I can catch a fun fishin ride in the evening or a mid day trip the next day with someone. :wink:

Well looks like I am going to have to call this to an end. The most popular date only had 9 votes and despite my requests no one has emailed me to let me know what they would be interested in bringing for pot luck and status as a boater or non boater. So it looks like this one is sunk.
