Going to be an interesting event with this group of guides. Could turn into a riot if we all wind up in the same area. Who is bringing the ear muffs for Dano's guy?

Hmmmm, maybe I won't compete this year and stay with the cooks, since the other volunteer bagged out and decided to guide someone that has defended our country instead.

Im with Skip on the grills. Does that entitle me to a sip or two.
Speaking of grills, Skip I have an 6' long grill I'm gonna try to bring along. Will hold a lot of food.100-150 burgers at a time ,plus a built in smoker(hint hint).
Jack, count me in but Im not fishing the tourney. I'll help Skip and Deb with the food.
I believe Hard work really makes the man, but everyone should wet a line, every now and then. E.C.

Received this from PHW. Figured I would give all a heads up.:
JOHN OUR EVENTS ARE NON ALCOHOL EVENTS. SOFT DRINKS, WATER , SNACKS ARE OK. YOU ALSO SHOULD CALL HARRISBURG PA FISH AND GAME TO OBTAIN LICENSE WAIVERS FOR THE 8 VETERANS. THEY MAY ASK YOU TO WRITE A LETTER TO THEM. SOME OF THE VETS CAN’T AFFORD TO BUY A LICENSE. THE VETS WILL HAVE THEIR OWN WADERS. MEDICATIONS WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF ON THIS END. I SHOULD MENTION IF YOU WANT TO HAVE ALCOHOL FOR VOLUNTEERS JUST PLACE IT IN AN OUT OF WAY LOCATION. rAY
