Sorry I missed this, it's too late for me now, I'm back to work tomorrow so it's an early bed for me... Maureen

Taking two year old home and trying to recover from the past week before going back to work in the morning . I need a vacation from my vacation Maureen

Please no, my eyes can't take it But yes Joey there is a definite resemblance Maureen

Looks good to me Corey, I'm sure your dad will be very pleasantly surprised. Keep up the good work, and don't forget the camera when you take it out the first time. Maureen

Very cool, I bet he'll be talking about that for a long long time... Maureen

Very nice... Maureen

Outdoor Life network...on again at 10:30 Maureen

Well yet another very successful day out at the park . The weather was amazing, allbeit a little on the chilly side when we first started out. Managed to meet a few new people, and say hello again to those I've met before. Things were a little disorganized early on, but the cooking crew and early arrivals were quick to get things sorted out and running smooth. Thanks you guys, even if I did have to move my car, or rather have it moved 4-5 times in 30 minutes . I'm going to post the few pics I have in the order of my taking them...I hope. I think they'll speak for themselves Beg Chev and Lady Walleye arrive in style Oops To the rescue Free at last Making the plan To eat eat first or not, that is the question 1928 Snow Machine Winning Perch Man of the hour Unfortunately that is all the pictures I was able to take, it seems I was a little distracted the rest of the day . We had a good turn out with 66 people registered for fishing, and many others just looking for some tastey food...unless they just liked the cooks and needed an excuse to come back If I remember correctly, last year we were able to raise a total of close to 3000.00, including the auction. Yesterday the totals came to 528.96 for the food. 1860.00 for entry/donations 2388.96 Total for one great day of fishing I can't tell you all how much this day means to Tyler's family, not sure there are words available. I will save my thanks for another post.

Hey all, just got home so I can't give a full report, but I wanted to let you know that A-channel's Barrie news was there, and they covered the G2G and it will be on the 6 O'clock news. I will give my full report later tonight when my Nephew's friends are gone, and he is bathing his 2yr old son. Be back soon...if I'm still alive Maureen

Geez, being on vacation all week had me forgetting about getting up at this hour See ya's soon. Maureen

thanks Eddy, have a good time yourself Maureen

Dang Doug, I'm sorry to hear that, I hope you and your resident love goddess are feeling better soon. Maureen

That's a nice idea Keram, and appreciated. For those who wish to just make a donation all cheques should be made out to Elisa and Terry French (Tylers parents) . You can send it care of me, Maureen Manning, 167 Timcourt Dr. Penetang Ont. L9M 1R2 . Another way to help is to participate in the online auction that will begin Saturday night. Maureen

Hey all, I'm home now, finally, now my house really is a zoo, just added a 2yr old to the mix for the weekend . As for Sobey's while JR was there, he gave the manager my cell phone number so he could call me. It seems the stores e-mail was down, and apparently my number was not paseed on to him a few days ago. Sobey's of Alcona has decided to supply us with 100 hot dogs and buns, as well as 100 Hamburgers and buns, along with the condiments. My thanks goes out to Sobey's for their support. Maureen

Thanks JR, I appreciate that. As for speaking to him, go ahead, but I am coming back through Barrie around 2pm, I hope, and if I haven't heard anything by then, I'll go to Costco and we'll pass on sobey's. The managers name is Kevin Augustyne, 705 431-6667 you can reach me at 416-726-8528. Gotta go now Maureen

Actually in that little section, it doesn't matter if it's not snowing. If there's a bit of snow all it takes is a wind to come up and the roads can be closed, and you don't always get a wind warning Maureen

Hey guys, I did talk to the manager on the phone two/three days ago, at that time he told me he was looking at my e-mail, and would send me what I needed right away...still nothing. I can appreciate someone being busy, really I'm not that unreasonable, but I can't afford to wait any longer. I have an incredibly busy day and evening ahead of me and can't take any chances of not having what we need. That is why I will pick it up on my way back up the road this afternoon, Costco has good prices and I really like their burgers too Maureen

Welcome to the zoo Bob, hope you enjoy your stay, and I'll be looking forward to your stories...uh, I mean reports Maureen

Well I am not a happy camper this morning. I had been in touch with the manager of Sobey's in Alcona and he had offered us 100 hot dogs and buns for free, and everything else that was needed at his cost. I thought that was darn nice of him. I have e-mailed him 3 times with the list of stuff that was still needed looking for pricing. Even after assuring me on the phone 2 days ago that it was on the way, I have still not heard from him. I also haven't been able to confirm the pick up of the hot dogs and buns. So, with that being said, I am going to stop into Costco on my way home from picking up my 2yr old great nephew and pick up what we still need. If anyone wishes to help me with the costs, I will not be turning you away . I will post what I bought and the cost when I get home. Maureen

Wow, that's quite a report, lots of excitement for sure. I'm glad a potential tragedy turned out the way it did. You got yourself some nice fish that's for sure. Maureen

Looks good Doug, one of these days I'm gonna get me one of those....maybe when I get my boat Maureen

Glad they made it home safe Wayne, Steve's daugher went there last night, thankfully she made plans to stay over with firends. Maureen

Good stuff, first time this year I've seen a whitefish come out of Simcoe, good to know they're there and hungry Maureen
