Grand Rapids Mi Fun Run

[waltr]

Hey gang,

Have nothing to do on Saturday, the 27th of June? Come on out to the Grand Rapids Fun Run.

This will be our 1st annual Fun Run and should be a good time.

We're just taking over where the Kalamazoo Fun Run left off, just a bit further north.

This is an IMPBA pond, so all normal rules apply and IMPBA memberships are available at the pond

Race course buoys set up full time and a 10' Jon boat is always there to chase.

Bathrooms on site and plenty of food close by, lodging also if necessary.

We're on a hill, so if you have adjustable leg height tables,it would be to your benefit.

Come on out and help make our 1st annual Grand Rapids Fun Run a huge success.

Hope to see you there.

Hi Jul,

Missed ya last year.

The last time I saw you was in Badger.

I hope you can stop by and see our new pond and it'll be good to see you again.

Always lots of new boats Ron has quite a fleet now too.

wish i could come to this but no impba yet :-( maby next year. i sure could use the help to get my boat setup..

 

[Ron Olson]

Oh yeah, lots of new boats so I'm going to whittle down what I'm bringing this year. If I get any more I'll have to get a trailer like Walt! He's due for a 53' semi any time now. :lol:

Just a reminder,

the GR Fun Run is this coming Saturday and the weather looks like it's going to cooperate. Great!!

Hope to see you there.

 

[Ron Olson]

It's going to be a hot one Saturday but with typical Michigan weather and our forecasters there may be a chance of late thunderstorms. I gotta pick up some sun tan lotion!

Right now they're talking a low of 64 and a high of 87.

My cell # if anyone gets lost, 269-200-6129 or chirp 131*575*15659.

Ron,

The rain is moved to Saturday night now, so we should get in a great day of boating

Tim,

If it works for you, we can sign you up with an IMPBA membership right at the Fun Run.

And we'd also be happy to help you with your set up or what ever you might need.

Hi Jul,

When I go to Indy, I take 31 all the way down, Never tried I-69. If you come up that way, 31 to 196 to exit 70A. 28th st (11). about 1/4 of a mile, you'll turn left on Sanford ave, just before the overpass. Battle front Gaming is on the left, pull in the lot, and the pond is in back. And easy in the driveway, winter wasn't kind to it.

You can also come up 131. to exit 81. West on 28th street (11), Aprox 2 miles, you'll go over an overpass for Chicago drive. Be in the right lane, because at the base of the over pass, you have to turn right on Sanford Ave. A short ways down on the left, you'll see Battle Front Gaming.

Sanford Lake is the name of the Lake.

See ya there!!

Whoops. Walt already answered it.
