Same location we did it last January ...

Location
Thomas Hooker Brewery
140 Huyshope Ave.
Hartford, CT 06106
https://hookerbeer.com/colt/

Date & Time
Sat. Jan. 26
4 p.m. - 10 p.m.

This is an informal gathering. If you can make it, simply show up. The brewery is open from 12 p.m. until 10 p.m. Let's plan to meet at 4 p.m., but feel free to show up as early or late as you want.

In addition to beer, they have full bar, wine, etc. They also have a light menu.

There is no sign up or advance tickets required, but it would be nice to know who plans on attending. Post here if you are coming.

Come hang out with fellow CTF friends.


2018 winter gathering.

For anyone looking to stay in the area, this hotel is just 2 miles from Hooker. And, an after party has been known to occur at this place on quite a few occasions. biggrin

Best Western
185 Brainard Road
http://www.hartford-hotel.com/

I will announce the 2018 CTF Member of the Year on this night.

Unfortunately I'm out, now. : ( Not many chances to fish for big white perch in NH, and I have to take advantage of it 24th, - 28th.
It was a hard decision not going to our CTF gathering : ( I'll be there in spirit, and maybe someone can text or facetime while there !

Cant make it. Might be going cod fishing and will be too tired and stinky at 7pm.

Remember, tomorrow is an informal event. Drop in as early or as late as you want. Target start time is 4-ish. Bar is open from 12 p.m. - 10 p.m.

The bar isn't huge, but I'll bring name tags to help people identify each other.

You very much deserve it, and provide all of us with wonderful reports, photos, and generally speaking, you're a breath of fresh air around here on the website and as well as in person. I'm proud to have had a chance to fish with you in the past, and I seriously hope I don't go another 365 days without finding an excuse to get out on the water with you. If there was ever a person who exemplified this website, it's you Roxanne.

....and anybody who owns a Toyota Tacoma already has some good things going in their favor!

Congratulations, and thank you.

As with every CTF event I have attended, this get together was a great time. It's always a blast reconnecting with some buddies you haven't seen (or fished with) in a while. The stories just keep flowing as does the laughter...truly never a dull moment. bowdown A BIG thank you to Kapt and Mitch for setting this up!

As for Rox what else can you say. She truly is an reminder of why we all came to this site in the first place and stayed here for so long. She never lost that enthusiasm which is very evident in each and every report. Her love for fishing jumps out of every post and I am such a fan. Her person of the year award is so well deserved! Just be sure to stay safe out there Rox, I want to read those reports for a loooooong time! Congrats again.

Great turnout last night with some old school members in attendance! beerchug

Congrats to Roxanne for taking home the 2018 Member of the Year award.

Props to Kapt for the hook-up at Hooker, as well being homebase for the after-party shenanigans at the hotel.
