The Wisconsin FReeper's Friday Fish Fry Frolic and Fun

WIMom

[WIMom]

Friday night 17 Wisconsin FReepers and their families met at the Mine Shaft Restaurant, in Hartford Wisconsin for socializing and dinner. What an honor to meet each and every Freeper last night. I am proud to know and be associated with our ever growing group!

WIladyconservative made fantastic name tags for everyone to wear with our FReeper names and real names, a picture of the American flag and "Let's Roll" on them. Ozaukeemom had the digital camera which she used freely (ugh) and gorush has volunteered to post them this weekend.

Right before we started our dinner, we stood and said the Pledge of Allegiance. All eyes in the restaurant were focused on us at that time. After dinner many stayed and had a couple refreshments. It was a wonderful evening.

Comments from WIladyconservative on the WI board:

"I think I can speak for all the WI Freepers that gathered at the Mineshaft tonight when I say we had a BLAST! Good food and drinks and GREAT conversation. Those of you who might have been on the fence about joining a group of unknowns, please consider joining us if we have another get-together. I'm normally a bit shy (yeah right, they all say), but it was fabulous to know that I could have an intelligent conversation with anyone I met tonight - simply because they are on FR! Thanks to WIMom for organizing and inspiring this get together. Hope to see you all soon!"

Here's the list of those who joined us on our 'mini-cruise' last night.

  Spunkets receives the award travelling over 150 miles by motercycle to join us! Do you think he'll do that in January? Baggyboy, ozaukeemom's son, is our newest FReeper and youngest at age 10! Way to go ozaukeemom!

No problem as long as it fits my schedule.

With enough advance notice, WIladyconservative and I can be just about anywhere, anytime. Count us in, but we need to solidify the date - I'd say let's pick a date by one month ahead of the event. We'll try to bring brewcrew jr. with us this time.

I'll keep January in mind. That tends to be a tough month though. Usually I have a tremendous amout of snow to move then. Yep, I drive that thing in the winter too, as long as it's not too messy out. Had a Hamas deer attempt to bag me. All is OK though and I'm nursing my thumb back. LOL! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
