We will have the 3 hp race again and plaques will be awarded. New this year, by popular request, will be a class for modified 3 hp. I'll have at least one plaque for this class. It's developing, so stay tuned. I'd also like to have an award for the oldest running motor. Details are being developed. Fishing is welcome, it's a privately stocked lake so no license is required. There is a bigger conservation lake across the road, license required and trolling motors only. Come early, like Friday, stay late 'till you're tired of it – Sunday, Monday?. A couple full hookups available for campers, and I have room to put up several guests in my campers. Reservations accepted. Or, you can tent camp outside or in my air conditioned shop. Paved boat ramp. Bring the gas and oil you'll need, as there are no stations in the area. We now have a swimming pool installed in the lake. Bring your suit.

Huge flea market so clean out your basement, garage and barn and bring those unwanted outboard-related items to sell... and find those needed winter project items. Large show motor display with 10 categories for motors. Awards based on Peoples' Choice voting... please bring your own stands. Test tank available if you want to run a motor and the shop will be open if you want to work on a "problem" motor (there will be plenty of "experts" on hand for advice).
