Do we want to have a carry in on Saturday?
I can provide the hog again.
Last I heard they may still have some openings for corn hole (that sounded funny)

HI Lei lonnee
I have heard SOOO much about this event and all the fun everyone has...... I can't wait for it!!!
I know we have a few (UAD) Corn Hole players that could take on some local competition. May be we can have our own UAD Corn Hole Tourn too.
I'm in for a carry in food feast!

See you in a couple of weeks

We would love to take a shot at Corn Hole and are salivating at the thought of a hog roast (well at least I am:-)

hog sounds nice! See you all soon.

Food Affair sounds great!!! Looking forward to this event

Do we need to sign up for food to bring??

Sounds good for the hog. The pulled pork was fabulous. I will bring Baked Beans.

I'll be bringing corn on the cob!!

Ummm...I can bring cookies or brownies...a dessert of some sort.

Can't wait to see everyone this weekend!!!

Hey,
We will be at the fair on Wed the 27th. If anyone needs anything, please let me know. (Please call my cell phone)
They are getting a lot of horses in for the horse racing. (paramutal betting is allowed)
Brian W.- I will not bet with you. We do not do well together.
Hillbilly Olimpeks will be set-up beside the big hammer, you know the one you have to hit and ring the bell. I am getting so excited. Can't wait for you all to see what I did for this game.
All the food sounds good. I will have the hog, buns. Plan to make a pasta salad and some other side dishes.
See ya all soon.

What a great event!! I had SOOO much fun. La lonnie and Brad did a outstanding job on their part of the fair and the UAD event/food.
Thanks to all the UAD workers this weekend - you all are awesome.......another great one for the books!

Oh Yea !!! again, alot of fun. New personal bests, newcomers and us oldies. Great weather, we loved the set-up of the dock, great crowds.

We also had a great time!!!! Both the boys were passed out the whole way home - I love it!!! I'm so glad that Scout got his new personal best and 1st leg towards his ultimate title during Van Wert since that was the first event we jumped UAD two years ago...I'm so proud of my old man I don't think I'll ever forget the look on his face while he was on the dock looking at me in the pool...talk about confused!!!

Of course a HUGE thank you goes to Lei Lonnee & Brad for getting UAD there again!!! Also thanks to Milt, Brian, Joe, Jackie and Lynn for a great job as always. It was great to see everyone and can't wait to see you all again this weekend!

I had a great time as well. The event was awesome. Thanks again to Ron, Debbie and Tim Webb for setting up my screen tent, you're the best :heart:

The event was a blast. one of the best!!! LeiLonnee and Brad you are the greatest.Thanks for everything the dogs slept all day today. Milt,Brian,Joe,Jackie,Lynn. Wonderful job as always. The food was great and the company was wonderful. Great new dogs and spectacular regulars.

What a blast!! I'm so glad others told us about how much fun they had last year and that we decided to come down!

Brad & Lei Lonnee - you guys did an AWESOME job with everything! And of course, so did everyone else!
This will definately become a regular event for us!!

I want to thank everyone for making this one of the best dock jumping events in the Country. This is what dock jumping is all about. I want to than the Taylor's for all of their hard work to make sure UAD can come to this event. Can't wait for next year! MILT

That had to be the most fun event we've ever been to. Way to go Bob Gang!!!

I have to agree that is definatly the best event of the year. See ya next year.

Leilonnie is always the hostess with the mostess, lol. There was a ton of dock time at this event and it was great to see Milt having a good time and up on the dock using those coaching skills that I used to remember when I first started jumping. It was a relaxed, fun event. The food was cheap, cheap, cheap. What about those $1 milkshakes, they ROCKED!!! Did anyone not have one, lol????

It was great to see Brandi doing so well. Jackie and Brian are blessed to have her getting back to herself.

Ok we are NOT missing this one next year.. Who cares if school starts that Tuesday or not.. lol..

We had a GREAT time at Van Wert. Carol Ann was too tired on Monday to say goodby and say"see everyone next year". It took till Wed. for her to not be sleeping all day and night. Food was great. And a big thank you to the Taylor's for all the hard work they do.
Carol Ann did get a P.B. at 19'10".
