I know my famaly had a great time got to talk to quite a few new people and what a great load of toys for the kids it was a great night. Thanks to everyone who put this together it was great rp

What a great joy I feel from last night!

:smile:

I'm still smiling.

This is my very, very favorite event! I even got to talk to people! To heck with the hats and decals! I only sold a few, because I didn't want to man the sales table. I, however, did take in many many memories with far more value than any greenback I ever met! :smile:

I'm happy, happy, thanks to ALL of you great folks!

My only regrets:

1. Aunty M drove ALL the way, and I didn't even get to sit down with her once.

2. One of my sisters came late, and at the end, she came up to me and joked, "Oh! You are here?"

ARGH.

What a great time and event. Like all the others, was fortunate to meet others and put a name and face on some monikers. Look forward to next year and great job Jennie and Lynda. Last count I heard was somewhere around 785 presents, can you beleive that [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img] There will be some very very happy kids.
Kudo's to all :grin:

Hey! You should see me pulling a crab pot and counting those keeper crabs!

AuntyM · 12-10-2003, 01:48 PM

Jennie, it was cool to finally meet you. What an awesome turnout! We'll get another chance at some girl talk.

I met so many folks I can't even begin to remember all the names.

Stew tried several times to lose me in Portland traffic during rush hour, but he finally got me there. Thanks Stew, for coming to my rescue. [img]graemlins/hearton.gif[/img]

Yes, it was a great event again. Lots of toys for kids. Lots of IFishers to meet.

I was hoping to see all the IFish Swordfish team so I could thank them personally for the weeks worth of excitement as we followed their progress on the web. I did get to meet Skein. Sorry if I missed any other Swordfishers. Thanks Again! Do it again this summer.

I enjoyed meeting Aunty-M. I hope to fish some of her home waters, maybe with a little guidance from Aunty.

It was great to see Stew again, and also GreenButtSkunk, and to meet Mrs. ButtSkunk and baby ButtSkunk.

I tried to give lots of encouragement to Salmonilla since his recent purchase of a fly rod. Actually, I mostly said how much more fun it is to not catch fish on a fly rod than to not catch fish with gear.

Merry Christmas to all, ant to all "Tight Lines".
