It's that time of year again everybody. After three years of running the show "solo," Rob has accepted the help of myself and one other member to help put on this years event so Rob can sit back and have some fun of his own. The three of us have been talking the last few weeks/month and here are the details we have so far.
The date(s) that we are looking at are either the weekend of the 10th-12th, or the 17th-19th, in July however this year we are trying a new location. After listening to some of the boaters express an interest in finding "better water" we have searched high and low for some better water to host the event while still maintaining the same area features that many of you have come to expect.
With that being said, the location is going to be on Lake Cumberland in Kentucky this year.

The water is supposed to be gorgeous and plenty of people we have talked to that have boated there rave about it. We are looking specifically at the State Dock area of Lake Cumberland as our "base of operations" for the weekend.

There are cottages available for rent, some are rather big and with how friendly all of the participants are in this group, we figured some families might elect to split a larger cottage. There is also a lodge that has 63 rooms available for rent. There is also a camp ground located nearby for those that would like to go the camping route, I'm personally looking forward to seeing what the Missouri crowd shows up with this year after hearing the plans at the last event.
And for those who are really looking for something new and creative to the event, this lake and specifically the "State Dock" has house boats for rent as well.

So, this is what we have so far, we look forward to seeing you there and are hoping to see some new faces this year as this event continues to grow every year. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to either myself, or TitanTN via PM, or just toss your questions up here.
