Announcing the Second Annual Fresno Tailgate and Rally - September 12th and 13th, 2003, Thread II

Fresno/Central Valley Chapter ^ | Aug 20, 2003 | Jim Robinson

[Jim Robinson]

The Fresno/Central Valley Chapter cordially invites one and all to our second annual Fresno Tailgate and Rally on Friday and Saturday, September 12th and 13th, 2003.

Our rally will begin at 5:00 pm and end at 7:00 pm Friday night, at the corner of Blackstone and Shaw in Fresno. Afterwards, the group will retire for dinner and refreshments at the nearby Ramada Inn.

Our tailgate pot-luck picnic will be at Woodward Park on Saturday, September 13th. We have the Mountain View Picnic Area from 3:00 pm until 10:00 pm.

The entrance to Woodward Park is on Audubon Drive, just off Freeway 41 on the northern edge of Fresno. The Mountain View Pinic Shelter is near the center of the park and is the second parking lot on the left from the Audubon entrance.

Bring your flags, banners, signs, family and children. Prepare to support your country and enjoy the company of your good FReeper friends!

Thank you for the invite, Jim. If I am in the state I will make it. Else, will wait for the report. Have fun!

[Jim Robinson]

Great! Hope you can make it!

[Jim Robinson]

[ladyinred]

Hee Hee Hee! The problem with this is Chadsworth has thought he is "cool" every since! :-)

Can't wait for the Tailgate, and we will be there of course, but I think Chads will wear protective gear this time, like maybe a raincoat!

[Cool Guy]

LOL! Oh yes, it was a lot of fun. I will show up if I am in California that weekend.

[Cool Guy]

I think Chads will wear protective gear this time, like maybe a raincoat!

Then let us throw pies at each other this time ;-)

[ladyinred]

Then let us throw pies at each other this time ;-)

Just as long as they aren't "Cow Pies" okay? I just don't put anything past you! :-)

[Mama_Bear]

"Is that Mama_Bear helping Cool Guy?"

Chadsworth, he MADE me do it! Really, I tried to resist.

Hope you both can make it. I am looking forward to seeing everyone again. If it is half as much fun as last year, it will be a blast.

Got to go.....my son is insisting that I check my computer for the W32.SoBig.F@mm virus, even though I have McAfee. He says it is causing real problems all over the place. It has almost crashed our mail server at the studio. Norton caught them all, but just the sheer number of infected e-mails coming in...400 just last night, is about more than it could handle. This virus sounds sounds really bad.

I hope to make this if my camping trip in Idaho doesn't run too long. It was great meeting you in LA. (I was the one who joked about having a list of recommended changes to FR)

Here's a thread from our 1998 4th of July bash in Fresno:

Chadsworth, he MADE me do it! Really, I tried to resist.

Um hum, likely story Mama_Bear! Just hope he doesn't want revenge! :-)

[Mama_Bear]

Um hum, likely story Mama_Bear! Just hope he doesn't want revenge! :-)

LOL. Well, I tried. Maybe I can bribe my way back into his good graces with some brownies?

[Jim Robinson]

Meanwhile, back on the farm:

[Jim Robinson]

Great! Hope you can make it!

[Diver Dave]

What time is the "baptism service" scheduled to begin? Looks like you've got the "immersion/sprinkling" controversy covered. :)

see ya next month.

[Jim Robinson]

Baptism services commence at sunrise. Bring your waders.

[Jim Robinson]

And a fly pole. See you there!

[farmfriend]

Thank you for the invitation but I will not be able to come. That is the date I have chosen to make up for the last two years of lousy birthdays my husband has had. His birthday is Sept. 11 so 2001 goes without saying but last year he had a heart attack two weeks before his birthday. This year he gets a party.

[risk]

I wish I could come, but it reminds me of a snide remark Prestowitz made to the World Affairs Council about SUVs. Someone didn't want to limit SUV sales because (I'm paraphrasing) it would be anti-American. Most important discussions occur on the tailgate of a pickup truck, he chorttled. Then he went on to say that was absurd and that we should do everything we could to (in my words) bring back Carter's days of malaise and conservation.

Drive your trucks to meet with pride, and know that there is a Bay Area freeper advocating California off-shore drilling and drilling in ANWAR so that you can each meet in freedom while we come up with alternative fuels :)

[tubebender]

I don't think I can make it but I but I won't rule it out completely. It's a long drive from Eureka...

[JustAmy]

Happy Birthday, FarmFriend's Hubby!!!

Have a great party, hope to see you at next year's picnic.

[tubebender]

Oh man...It's latrine duty for the rest of the day. The First Wife (aka Wife #1) just informed me that her class reunion is that weekend and we have spent big bucks for all the goodies ( rubber chicken and stringy meat). ; - )

[tame]

I plan to be there :o)

[JustAmy]

"I plan to be there :o)"

I have you on the guest list! How about truthtracker? Will she be there? How about inviting others. We have lots of room and would like to see lots of FReepers and FRiends!

[JustAmy]

Hope to see you at the picnic; and maybe the Rally?
We've missed you!

[gracie1]

I'm planning on going to the party, but I have class on Friday nights till 7:30. Let me know if there is any thing I can bring.

[JustAmy]

Come out on the 13th of September and join the fun and friendship.
Come Hungry!!!

[JustAmy]

It will be great to see you on the 13th.

We'll decide on food later.

I'm adding you to the guest list; will your son and hubby be joining us again this year?

[JustAmy]

Come to woodwad Park on September 13th and enjoy great food and fellowship!
Looking forward to seeing you there.

[diotima]

Bob and I will be there!

If anyone else is coming up from LA let me know.

[DoughtyOne]

We're going to try to make it up there.

[JustAmy]

May I add you to the yes list?



Looks like someone caught Cob before CoolGuy found him.
Now all of you please give me an "I'll be there reply!"

[diotima]

Cool! We are going to stay over Sat. night. We should stay at the same place if you plan to be there overnight as well.

[JustAmy]

Will you be joining us in Fresno on September 13th?

[DoughtyOne]

We stayed at the Mariot and probably will again. Are you going to go up on Friday? We went out and protested with Jim last time and stayed over that evening.

[diotima]

OK, Bob says we will go Friday too. I'll go check on hotels in the area.

[DoughtyOne]

The Marriot is very well located. I think your hotel last time was just about as good. The room was nice. They had a great indoor pool also.

[JustAmy]

I've added you to our guest list.
We are looking forward to seeing you again on the 12th and/or the 13th.

[DoughtyOne]

Thank you.

[JustAmy]

Inviting you to Fresno in September for lots of good food and loads of fun!

[diotima]

I'll pass that info on to Bob J(acuzzi).

[DoughtyOne]

Jacuzzi = a must

;-)

[JustAmy]

Hope you can make it to Fresno for the best tri-tip you've ever eaten.
Hop a plane, a bus, a train or drive; we would love to see you!

[Maccabee-AJB]

PONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JustAmy]

Are you planning a trip to Vegas or California in September?
Why not include a trip to Fresno and attend our second annual picnic? I promise there will be lots of food.

[Vets_Husband_and_Wife]

:o(

We have out of state company that weekend. (Gosh, I wonder if we could find an excuse to cancel). Just kidding.. though it surely did tempt me!

Have fun.. even if it will have to be without us! I'd really hoped we could make it this year!! They just called and made the plans in the last week, scheduled the time off from their work and everything!

So close!! Dag nabbit!! arghhhhh

[JustAmy]

We'll miss you and plan on meeting you next year!!!
