This is my baby, and I’m really going to miss going through all the motions of putting it together. There are so many memories tied to this that it’s hard to just let it go.

It’s getting harder and harder to get people to commit to helping cover the cost of the trophies, but there was a time when this place was packed. We’ve had over 100 people come out to fish and stay for the after-party. Those were some pretty damn good times! LMAO Joker, Cwood, Roo , Water baloons

And who could forget the Kid’s Derby? It’s been about 8+ years since we’ve had one, but those were some of the best events we ever put together. The pizza, magician , the kids, the fishing, and everyone coming together to make it happen—it was freakin’ awesome!

I’ve always spent about $100 on the mugs, and thankfully Kapt and Blaine have stepped up and chipped in for prizes over the past years. I never minded doing my part because seeing everyone enjoy it made it worthwhile.

I guess that’s what I’ll miss the most—not just the work that goes into it, but the people, the memories, and the feeling of everyone coming together to make something special happen. Those are the things you don’t forget.

Yes, this is AI generated, BUT my thoughts summed up.
