Chicagored	06/19/2020 09:19AM   Every year in early spring, the rockford wingnight was something to look forward to. It may be too soon, and you have not had a chance to grieve, but have you thought about doing it at castle rock state park next year? p.s. what did you do with the bees? mitch
rdgbwca	06/29/2020 07:07PM   Hi Bob. You put on great events for your fellow paddlers. The wing night was tougher for me because it fell in the middle of Little League season. I did make it to one wing nite and two paddle fests. I am glad I did. It was nice to meet you and George. I also have a memory of eating some of flatlandpaddler's french toast and Blutofish's bluegill.... Our community has lost something special.
QuietWaters	06/19/2020 08:21PM   Here are some pictures from 2013. I was only able to come several years for a few hours due to family obligations, but I met a great group of people. This was going to be the year that I could actually make it. Hopefully you will be able to continue in another location. The last picture is of bobbwca who offered the site and organized the wingnite. Sorry it's so blurry. He was only still for a moment.

blutofish1	06/19/2020 07:24AM   Thanks Bob and George for doing this. April and I will have great memories of the wingnights and Paddlefests for a long long time. Maybe in the future we can do this again at a different location.
bobbwca	06/18/2020 09:24PM   Today the Rockford Lithuanian park sold. We were unable to hold the wingnight this year due to the Covid. As of today, the park has been sold! I love you all and will miss all the wing nites. Those who have attended, post some pics. It was a good run!
blutofish1	06/19/2020 06:17AM   Wow, I'm going to miss the good times and great people. Well worth the 5 hour drive.
mirth	06/24/2020 12:51AM   Ooh, take over the paddle in campground at Castle Rock? Wish I had been able to come to a Rockford Wing, bummer they always conflicted with my son's Troop's pancake breakfast.
