IFISHSTOCK
2004 |
Ifishstock 2004
will be held at the KOA Campground in Warrenton, across from Fort Stevens
State Park.
Click here for the park
information, and reservations!
It will be held on August 28th, from 3 PM, until 9:00 PM. Cleanup at 9
till 10:00.
Ifishstock is an ifish members only (and family) annual party we have,
usually held at "Hedlund Acres" on the Kilchis. This year, it
will be at the Warrenton KOA Campground, held mainly in and around the
Heritage Kitchen.
We get together, most people fish in the morning, then after noon, we gather and bbq and eat way too much!
We usually have too much food, crab, salmon, clams, oysters! We have door prizes! Some people camp, some people stay in town, some drive in for the day.
We usually ask people to bring their own food and some to share. You might also bring a table and chairs, or a blanket.
We encourage children to be present, and discourage overconsumption of alcohol. In fact, most people don't drink. Bringing a beer is fine, if that is your beverage of choice for dinner, but it's not a drunken wild party.
It's just a bunch
of ifishers trying to get to know more ifishers... putting names to faces,
enjoying our passion, and talking, laughing, and eating too much!
There will be ifish gear for sale, and some ifish sponsors may attend,
bringing their goods for sale.
Bring the family!
Only rules: No drunks... Please bring something to sit on, and please bring lots of food! Oh yeah, one more, if you pack it in, pack it out... Except leftover food. I'll eat that.
If you'd prefer a motel, call Shilo at : Reservations: (800) 222-2244, for the Warrenton Shilo. Please mention you are with ifish.net, and ask for a special rate.
IF you have a door prize that you are bringing, simply ask, at registration, where to put it.
I'm trying to put together a kids drawing, and an adult one. If anyone has ideas for kids drawings, or wants to donate prizes, that is our greatest need at this point. Kids life jackets, little rods, or tackle boxes full of goodies. I'll put together a bunch of kids prizes with candy and pop, but fishing things seem most appropriate.
I will have ifish hats, decals, patches, and maybe a few sweatshirts here. If you want to order something, please let me know, so I can order it ahead of time. (You know, like a sweatshirt, or something.)
Seems to be some
misunderstanding about how to eat at the ifish bbq.
It is a "bring your own meat" bbq, although I will have roasted
pig here for those who forget, or those with little ones, that don't want
seafood delicacies.
Salads, casseroles, public sharing foods are welcome.
We will supply pop also.
Bring what you like to drink, if you don't like pop, but we will not be
providing alchohol nor will be responsible for it's use and would appreciate
that it be used, if at all, with respect to the property owners, and the
other drivers on the road. If you drink, don't drive!
Usually someone brings oysters, and that is a huge treat on the bbq!
There will be plenty of food, I am sure, as last year everyone brought
lots of wonderful edibles! Hopefully, we will have silvers to throw on
the bbq, and crabs to cook up! Yum! I have plastic forks and knives, etc,
and paper plates and cups.
You can clean your fish at Warrenton KOA.
We will have a crab cooker available and a corn cooker.
We usually have all the condiments, ketchup, mayo, butter for the corn,
mustard... plastic silverware and cups...
Thank you to many sponsors and friends for donating door prizes!
Please support these businesses by visiting their site and purchasing
their items.
There will be open seats listed on the pinned thread at the top, on the
board for those who need boat seats. First come first serve. If you have
an open seat, please list it as you please.
If you have any
specific questions, either write to me, or post it on the board.
Thanks much, and I'm looking forward to seeing you all!
Anyway.... It's
coming right up, so let me know what's up and what's down.
Especially needed is a list of available boat seats, and who needs a ride.
Dress warmly,
it gets chilly!
What else? Questions? Comments? Ideas?
The party will begin around 3 or 4 P.M., and last until around 9 or so. 10:00 PM is posted quiet time at the park. Just come whenever the boats get off the river, and leave when Jennie falls on the ground.
Thank you so much for making Ifish what it is, and don't miss this event! It'll be a blast! Everyone will have name tags, so we know who you are!
