2008 Annual SMF Gathering Alert

[peculiarmike]

Dutch, Monty, Ron, Joe - could this become a sticky so it stays around a bit???

As the end of 2007 approaches it is time to think about putting together the 2008 2nd Annual SMF Gathering.
The 2007 1st Annual Gathering was a resounding success, though lightly attended.
We would like to see SMF member attendance increase and put some faces with those names, build new friendships, do some SERIOUS smokin', and help us eat all that fine food.
Those of you who are gainfully employed (not all of us are) will soon begin scheduling your 2008 vacation time. I will post more information as soon as it becomes available so you can work this event into your plans.
Generally, I think we will look at about the same time frame and location area -June and someplace south of Kansas City. I am beginning to explore possibilities.
More as I get it! Stay tuned.

Sounds like Fun! Where was the last one?

 

[bbq bubba]

I think since Michigan has the MOST member's, we need to move this a lil further north

I know you guy's enjoyed the 100* temps and high humidity

We could also try to organize an East and West Coast meeting to get more members involved in a get together.

[gramason]

I like that, or have a couple a gatherings throughout the state to cut down on some travel.

From an old Ricky Nelson song -
You can't please everyone..................................

 

[smokeys my pet]

SO TRUE AND NEVER WILL. BUT I LIKE ALL THE IDEAS!!

 

[ajthepoolman]

If we all are to be happy with the location, then we will all have to be appointed Event Coordinator and hold our own little pow wows! I hope that the alternative will bring enough people together for 2008.

Perhaps we should look into a regional appointment of coordinators for the different geographical areas.

Oh Oh! I smell a SMF "Road Rally" coming on! Two weeks of running around the country meeting folks and eating Que!

 

[teacup13]

i know that time of year is really nice around here....lol

maybe we can have a west/mid-west thing go at the same time as i know for sure i cant travel down that way @ that time of year

maybe a regional sort of thing, lines to be determined later..lol

 

[tonto1117]

[crewdawg52]

Really, in all seriousness (

Yeah, right), Silver Lake was kinda nice! or even better, Kensington State Park......Its almost at the cross roads of I-96 & US-23, just east of Brighton, MI.
