Looks like a great turnout. I recognize some of them folk! :-) I'm there in spirit with you all. Rosanne is having a great time and staying busy in El Salvador. (She's with a medical mission group "Helping Hands".) I get a Whats App message from her nightly. Took her and two friends to the MSN airport Friday at 4am. Those of you that know me, know how happy I was getting up at 3am. (I should have just stayed up Thursday night. My normal bed time is closer to that than my normal wake up time. lol) I'll pick them up this Saturday at 11pm. Time much more to my liking!
:) Enjoy the gathering. It's one of the best. Colby
 
Thanks to all of the C Brats at the Hontoon gathering for calling to say "Hello" at their lunch today. Thanks to John Highsmith who arranged the call. It looks like a great number of boats, C Brats and good weather! Have fun!
 
At most state parks you would not be able to make a reservation this early. The new concession at Hontoon does allow us to make reservations even this far ahead. If you are thinking of coming to the gathering next year, I encourage you to make reservations early. I’m sure most will be back and we’re looking forward to a lot of new people in 2027. I conferred with the park manager before I left and they are going to put the fire pit back in for next year and add extra benches in the marina area. They definitely want us back and everyone I talked to that attended this year had a great time.

To reserve contact Riley Jackson 386-873-7210
Dates are March 9,10,10 2027 but a lot of us arrive on the 8th.
Riley is a real sweet gal and a pleasure to talk to.

See you at Hontoon!
 
… and a good time was had by all
