Great job guys! We had a BLAST...again.

Weather was...interesting...lolololol. But, that tornado really couldn't have been better timed...and the Brew House has great nachos and comfy bar stools!

Fun poker run water for sure...I'd much rather throttle the boat all day than just push them forward and sit there.

Great event guys. Band was awesome this year too. Thinking out loud here - to make the raffle run smoother - exchange out the raffle tickets with the dinner wrist bands. I think Gerald ordered the Lake Michigan conditions to take some awesome pictures. I think he's going to do well this year.

Thanks Guys to all that attended to make this another AWESOME NIOC event! We definitely dodged a bullet with the horrific storms that passed through but in all it still worked out great. Had to run the snot out of the boat to out run the storms and all I can think was don't break now.

Good idea, we actually have given out raffle tickets at dinner in some past events and it worked good. I don't know why I forgot that one but that would solve the problem we were having and shorten the time.

Nice to see everyone and I had a great time. We had a nice turnout 181 for dinner. Awsome support from the group for Gigi's.

Our friend Tom (31 Sonic from Joliet) went out to do a hot lap before putting it on the trailer yesterday, and broke a U-joint right at the harbor mouth. We towed him in...I was like "Dude...be VERY happy this happened now and not when that storm was rolling in yesterday!"
