Baby FMer GetTogether Postponed becuase of inclement weather

[Shack]

I will come, even if it is cold outside. Let me know Tom if things are is going to change big time. But I am planning to go out no matter what (as long as it is not 30 below). I have been telling my wife and I am in the free and clear.

I cat fished (I guess) to much last summer and my wife has been telling me to work on the basement. Which I have been.

So, I am ready to get out and fish with the kids. I just hope it just works out! I will be there for sure.

Hey Guys,

Right now with the current forecast I am on the fence about it, hopefully the weatherman, in this case Belinda Jensen is wrong for this weekend. If the high is below 10 above I probably wont head out but we will see come this weekend, it should be a great time.

Hey guys and gals,

Sorry to have to say this, but in the best interest of the children involved, we are going to postpone the official get together due to the inclimate weather we are forecast to have this weekend. With it being so cold, we don't want to get kids sick or worse yet, frostbite. This get together is supposed to be about making sure the kids have a good time on the ice, and freezing them into little icicles is probably not the best impression to give them on their first trip out. We knew from the start that weather was going to be the biggest factor, so we chalk one up to mother nature this time, we will still get out there with them, and we will keep all the door prizes and other details the same, just a different date with some warmer weather.

Thanks for your understanding.

Tom

These events are about visiting, sharing information, and putting names to faces within the FM comunity. This just doesn't happen well when the temps are going to be so bad. I have talked to polarsusd through e-mail and said I would be willing to help get this going again once temps have settled down.. I suggest a date late in Feb or even early March. The only date I cant is feb 16-17(I'll be working the Duluth Sport Show.)

As Tom said.. Mother Nature wins round one.. it just means we will have to come at it harder in round 2.. LOL

I am thinking the best possible date would be February 23rd, as we will still have good ice in the metro, not conflict with cool cats get together on the Horseshoe chain, and not conflict with a trip Troy McLure and I are taking to Lake of the Woods on March 7th through the 10th.

Let me know if that date works. I have already heard a lot of people say the 16 of February wont work well for them. Trust me, we all want Deitz to be there.

Forgot to mention, I will still be out there, in case anyone doesn't get the info.

The bites, but the cold bites worse. It's a good call. These little guys and gals can't hold up to the cold and if it's -30 wind chill we'd all be in houses and not out having a good time like it was intended to be. If's you do it Feb 23rd I won't be able to make it as Big Wade and I are heading up to Red Lake. Other than that I'm open. But go with what works for everyone so we get as many kids out as possible. If I can't make it to this one, we'll have to do it next year. If you need anymore helpe reorganizing or anything, let me know what I can do.

Ya know, go figure. Last week (early) I would have never guessed it would be this cold during this weekend. I tell ya MN sure gets its fair share of ups and downs. I really stopped watching/listening to the weather about 4 years ago and have not turned back. I would have guessed it would have been to warm

Also you guys have a great point about the "get together" aspect. Not much of this gets done if everyone is in their shacks or head'in to the truck or car. I guess we will stay home. I might take my free pass and go to Medicine Lake on Sunday. Will see how far below zero it will get.

Thanks Tom for all your help and late Feb., pretty much is wide open, except for March 1st (Cool Cats). Lets us know!!

Good luck!
