A date and cabin locations have finally been chosen.
This years shoot will be October 18th. Once again it will be held in Seagoville, (5 miles south of Route 175 or 3.5 miles NE of I-45 (exit 270) on S. Belt Line Road). The plan at this time is to meet at Cotton Gin in Crandle for breakfast at 9:00 a.m., BUT they are currently closed due to a fire. Hopefully they will be reopened by October. If not, Plan B will be put in place. After breakfast we will all head to the range. A delicious lunch will be provided at the range by our wonderful FRiend cpdiii.
The cabins where we are staying are Miller Creek Ranch in Canton, TX. There is a map of the place Here
A block of cabins have been reserved under the name TexasCowboy Memorial Shoot. To reserve your cabin, call 866-488-6020 or 903-567-6020 They are reserved for Thursday the 16th through Sunday the 19th. Please let them know if you will arrive Thursday or Friday night. A $125.00 deposit is due at the time you make your reservation, with the balance due when you check in.
The cut off date for making your reservation is May 28th! Make reservations after that date at the risk of not getting a cabin.
The cabin numbers reserved for us are 10, 22, 24, 25, 77, 88, 89, 90, 92 and 102. #s 22, 24, and 25 are called Executive Cabins with lofts, they are $185.00/night and sleep 4-6 people; #s 10, 88, 89, 90 and 102 are Standard Cabins with lofts, they are $165.00/night and sleep up to 4 people; # 92 is a Standard Cabin without a loft and # 77 is handicapped accessible, those are both $150.00/night and sleep up to four. All the lofts, with the exception of #22, are only three feet high and each have two twin mattresses; the loft in #22 is five feet tall. Each cabin has a queen size bed and a queen size sleeper sofa.
No cars are allowed at the cabins, with the exception of the handicapped cabin. You can either use their concierge service to get to and from the cabins or rent a golf cart for $40.00/day. If you want to rent a golf cart it was suggested that you reserve one when making your reservation.
Extra cost included are a $5.00 resort fee (they normally charge this per day, but are only charging us a one time fee); Internet fee is $5.00/day.
Looking forward to seeing everyone in October!
I wish you would join us sometime Slim.
I wondered who it was...thanks for the follow! :)
When you have time, would you please post a revised list of folks to be attending...just so we prepare enough for all.
BTW...what will we be eating Friday night for dinner? ...TheMom’s surprise? LOL
I’m SO ready! Will be in FW on Wednesday afternoon. wOOt!
Great Halloween fun too.
Also available, Tannerite $40 for 10 lbs.
My outdated list has twenty people staying at the resort, with another possible six showing up for Friday night dinner. I have another four that are just attending the shoot.
My left hand got injured early Saturday morning breaking up a dog fight, so I’m not sure yet how much help I’m going to be with the cooking & cleaning. Not even sure if I will be able to shoot anything ~ except tequila.
We have plenty of volunteers for the cooking and cleaning.
You just kick back and relax.
I’ll prepare the Margarita I.V. line...
You are a true friend! LOL
So it's up to us to step up to the plate and plan the Friday night dinner.
Suggestions?
Yikes! So sorry to hear that news. Prayers for a speedy recovery.
We can step it up and do it all. No problem. TheMom deserves a break anyway from carting too much the load.
We might still need TheMom’s excellent organizational skill and advice though....which she can do sitting in a chair, drinking margaritas..lol.
I vote for hamburgers,sausage and fries or chips. An easy meal that we can just put out and folks grab.
Hmmm I could make a Texas Tard Chicken “Jamaican Jerk Chicken”
Thighs is cheap, I have the spices.
Prayers for healing.
Fries are so good.
Some catfish in butter milk then battered...
That sounds good but will require side dishes. What side dishes would be easy to do? Any ideas?
Hope them Dogs got the back of your hand.
NEVER let them be the alpha.
That sounds good too. I could maybe pick up good catfish here and folks could just pay me back. central market has the best fish and seafood.
