At the Fall wingnight campout, we talked about having a wingnight and presenting the paddle in Jan's honor to his wife Theresa. I have talked to Theresa, and we agreed to have the wingnight on Friday the 28th of October. It will be held at Buffalo Wild Wings in Lakeville. The time is yet to be determined, but we are looking at around 6:00 PM meeting up. If anyone wants to get there earlier to reserve some tables, that would be great. The place can get busy on a Friday night. I am sure Theresa would enjoy seeing all of you. Hope to see you there and join us in a toast.

Thanks for the invite, the missus and I are not going to make it.... :(

I'd be all over this, except for reservations in Gatlinburg, The Blue Ridge MTs, and Disney World. Raise a toast from me, and convey best wishes.

PS: CAR! bh

I'll be there for a little while.

The hood has its annual Halloween party that night. It goes late so I can be too.

I somehow new this would happen the weekend I was to winterize the cabin. I’ll be there but I’ll have to leave really early again so I can go up Saturday morning instead of Friday morning.

I'm going to try and make it, I'll have to see how work goes.

Tammy and I will be there.

I'm there

Pretty sure I can make that.

Butthead: Disney??? Not sure I can talk to you any more...!

Im sorry I cant make it guys, I have a friend and coworker having a retirement party on the north end of town on that day, I will be thinking of Jan.

I should be there. No worky friday, late start Saturday. Perfect. Hey inspector, if you change your mind and decide to winterize later, give me a shout. Maybe we can carpool.

It's off-topic but the Blue Ridge and Smokies are magical, beautiful places. Gatlinburg a seemed to remind me of that Cash song, Boy Named Sue with the father-son brawl in the street! What an interesting place. You won't be far from Dolly World on that route :)

My daughter lives in Lakeville is expecting, she is due any day. If they decide to be born that weekend I might stop in.

+1..Going to try to be there, just depends on what time I can get out of work.

I’ve got to do it this coming weekend Pete because my hours are changing and I can’t take any more time off until the new person that’s starting is trained in. If she is a fast learner that means Thanksgiving.

Wish I could but have previous plans that will have me out of town that weekend.

:-(

Always wish I could attend one, but ESPECIALLY this one.

Man! I, too will be out of town due to previous plans. Sorry I will have to miss it this time.

Hmmmm

Barley, don't just think about it. Be there!

Is anyone able to get there early to reserve a couple tables? I have to work until 5 so may not get there until 6.

I could be there earlier. This is the one off 185th St correct? Do you think 5:30 is soon enough to reserve something?

Steve, that would be great. Even earlier if possible. I believe this is the correct BWW. The address is 18425 Orchard Trail, Lakeville. I am at work so can't put in the link on my phone.

;( not attending but i sincerely wish everyone who is attending would take some photos and short interviews and post them here so those who want to be there but can't can still feel like they are a part of things.. ya know? hugs for Theresa

Far drive for me......give my best to Theresa.

I think I can squeeze in early too. I will try by 5:00. Maybe plan for 8-10 people?

Thanks Pete. It's going to be closer to around 12 or more people. A few that are going have not posted on the site.

I will be unable to attend as I need to make a trip to Billings, SD to help my daughter with a couple of administrative things at school.

I'll be there.

Thanks for putting this together Trix, I'll be there.

Wish I could make it but have other longstanding plans. Much luv to Theresa and all my peeps;)

Looking forward to seeing all of you tonight. For those of you who can't make it, you will be with us in spirit.

It was nice seeing everyone tonight. I'm very glad I got to talk to Theresa too. Good seeing Adam too.

Thanks again Trix and everyone that attended. Had a great time as always.

How is Theresa holding up? She like the paddle? Pic's?

I don't think any pictures were taken. ? I thought Theresa seemed to be holding up well. She got a little emotional when we gave her the paddle. She brought a paddle that we believe Jan had gotten signed at a wingnite at there house. Good group. Nice visitting.

Nice! Glad Trix made this happen. Living far away has it's disadvantages. That was one I didn't want to miss. I had to be home for my contractor friend to go over things. After it got to late to come down he cancelled on me. My life story...

I didn't get there until 7:00 and Theresa had just left. She has dogs at home. I understand she had recently visited their daughter who lives outstate. Their son does not live in the area either so that must be hard being alone without Jan.

This was at the Buffalo Wild Wings where kanoes always was at the mini Wingnights over the years. As I walked up to the door I could always look in the windows and see the group and Jan would be laughing and having fun in his weathered BWCA.com hat. It was sad realizing that he was not in there and never will be again.

It was great to see people at this event to honor kanoes and Theresa. Thanks Trix for organizing it and thanks to everyone that attended both physically and in thought.

I never made it to one, but that's the image I always had when I read posts about them... I'm sure Jan was pleased. What a great idea and thoughtful gesture.

It was nice to see everyone.....it was a fun evening
Let's do it again asap
