Hootin & Hollarin Roundup

The Missouri Bull Shoals Lake Assocation (of which we are a member) has a booth every year at H&H. It's a food booth with "the best cheeseburgers" and "biggest frito pies" ever. Seriously. I heard that so many times while working there Friday and Saturday. Matt and I both worked during the day on those days. I had a blast! It was fun to see everyone. And what a great place to watch the parade go by. The weather was a bit of an issue. Friday night was rained out -- stormed out is more like it. (Oh, and no, we had no damage at the marina.) And Saturday morning, Karen Jeziorski (Wing & Fin Resort owner, also a member of the MBSLA) arrived to find our tarp had blown off the roof of the booth, and everything was soaked. It was a sorry sight. Matt and I showed up shortly after, and luckily Matt was able to put it back together. We got everything up and running, and by 11:15 or so we were selling cheeseburgers! We were soooo busy on Saturday! The weather cleared up, and it was a great day.

I don't have any pictures. I didn't even take my camera. But if someone will e-mail me some pics from H&H, I will post them on here.

Stay tuned for more details on the lake cleanup next Saturday, October 7. If you're planning to attend, please let me know. I'm trying to get a rough head count. Remember: We're handing out trash bags starting at noon on Saturday. Cleanup till 3 or so. We'll collect trash at the launch ramp starting at 3. Picnic in the park (full moon party) from 6 to 10. Live music. Food and drink. Please bring a dish.

Oh, and PS, if you aren't able to RSVP for some reason, don't worry about it! Please, still come on out and enjoy the festivities! I heard a few people did not come to the Blowout because they hadn't RSVP'd. Please, it's not that big of a deal. Just gives me an idea of how many to expect. Don't let that keep you from participating!
