I thought we had one of these already but I sure couldn't find it.

Anyway
If you are a member of the LakeCumberlandBoaters.com Facebook page it is listed here:

The 2013 Forum party at State Dock is scheduled for the weekend of May 10, 11, and 12th. With most activities on the 11th including Cornhole and a live band

As usual there will be a corn hole tournament and pot luck on Saturday afternoon.

The band will be announced by State Dock at a later time.
(I think they may have already picked Ugly Early. Or is there one since it is Blues Fest?) Raptorlvr you out there?)
Updated, See http://lakecumberlandboaters.com/forum/ ... 419#p42419

...might even have a new more colorful shirt design for 2013.

Just working on some finishing touches and making sure the shirt will not cost TOOOO much more as it has more colors.

Raptorlvr - Due to circumstances beyond my control...the Blues Fest has been scheduled for the same weekend as the Forum Party...Personally, I think this is a GOOD THING! So, instead of one band on Saturday evening...you all get 7-8 bands throughout the day and into the wee hours of the night! So, gear up for one heck of an event!!!

E Hillman What does that mean for setting up for cornhole, potluck, etc. ?
January 10 at 9:18am ·

Raptorlvr - Been thinking about that...We may have to do that on one (or both) of the party barges...

Skinny Dipper It's coincided with several events like this before and they all worked out well.
January 10 at 9:22am ·

E Hillman Raptorlvr, a couple other worries from past similar circumstances. Now will those just wanting to come to the forum party have to pay to get on the dock? Or since you are using the party barges will they be able to head out that way and then if they WANT to go to the other they can pay to? Other question, Boatels. Will they still be available? Just some questions/concerns.
January 10 at 10:26am

Raptorlvr - I just replied to the above questions...don't know what happened to it...I'll try again...Question #1: Forum party attendees will be able to come on the dock and go to the boatel row area without having to pay to see the bands. But, I hope eveyone plans to go and see some of the bands throughout the day/evening. Only the restaurant area will be closed off. The ship's store will also be accessible via the front entrance by the fuel piers. Question #2: Boatels will be available. Not sure of the rates but most likely will be similar to what we have charged in the past.

...it appears the Spring Forums party will not have its own band this Spring (the fall one will), but will instead use the entertainment of the "Blues, Boats and BBQ fest "
Per http://lakecumberland.com/forum/viewthr ... pid=426474

I just wonder what this layout will do to the Potluck, Cornhole, Band Layout of years prior. If it throws off the Potluck etc. because of the BBQ I worry about those that only come down for a few hours. The fee to get to the band side just to eat might be a bit much for those individuals.

Guess we will see how it all goes this year.... As for now I'm going to plan to bring some Potluck items?

Shirt order thread started http://lakecumberlandboaters.com/forum/ ... f=2&t=6224
I'm sure LC.com will have one soon as well. If you order here you don't need to there and vice versa.

Poll for Potluck or just attend the Blues Boats and BBQ Festival for dinner. started at LC.com 2013 Spring Forum Party (Potluck or BBQ?)

2013 Spring Forum Party (Potluck or BBQ?)

As most are aware this year's Spring Forum/s party is going to have the Blues Boats and BBQ happening the same weekend.

Do you guys want to continue to have our normal potluck or do you just want to go over and get BBQ? Some have said they would be ok with just doing the BBQ but some said they would prefer to not have to PAY to get into the BBQ area and then PAY for BBQ. Some may want to cook BBQ for the potluck. lol Heck I don't know. Just vote for what you want.

I'm ok with it either way and some of you may be as well but to keep confusion to a minimum, I'm going to force us to decide. Please if you are not attending the party just use the "Not attending" selection as to not skew the vote of those that will actually be there. http://lakecumberland.com/forum/viewthr ... ?tid=36310

(If you are not a member of LC.com you can post here what you want to do OR there is also a facebook poll in the Lake Cumberland Boaters.com group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/58577325800/ )

This is GREAT NEWS for all IMO!!!

Forum members can go and get BBQ or order from the State Dock Grill inside the restaurant area but it must be carry - out. We will have separate wrist bands for this that are time stamped. No fair going in and enjoying the music without paying. The schedule for the forum party is pretty much same old, same old..."

Looks like BBQ is in the lead. However lets all try to get it at the same time and go back to the party barge tables that Raptorlvr has arranged to get setup so we can all come together.

I just noticed that your shirt logo has the State Dock sign on top of JRM's dock!. That is too funny! I can't believe no one has seen this yet...

Post by E_ » Wed May 01, 2013 2:07 pm

lol, yep I mentioned it in the shirt thread that the shirt would be even neater for the Fall party. lol

MissSwitzerland · Post by **MissSwitzerland** » Fri May 03, 2013 4:40 pm

We're coming down that weekend but will have kids with us so won't spend the whole weekend at the dock and will just pop in to visit. Will we have to pay to come see our forum peeps since it's the BBQ thing too?

Post by E_ » Fri May 03, 2013 7:22 pm

Nope, Forum party area is Free admission. Raptorlvr worked that out for us.

Post by E_ » Sun May 05, 2013 10:27 pm

THIS COMING WEEKEND!!! It will at least be warmer but for now they are calling for some wetness. :-/ http://www.accuweather.com/en/us/jamest ... 3359?day=7 Oh well hasn't stopped us from having fun before.

Not doing potluck for main meal (will just go over and get BBQ but if you want to bring something like cookies etc. to go with it that might be a idea)

Luv2ski aka LCK informed me that he has the shirts and they should be headed my way. That means I will have them as planned to take to the party with me on Saturday. For those that wanted their shirts shipped I will bring them to the party with me in case you show up and want it then. The week after the party I will start shipping to those that didn't get their shirts at the party.

Hey E
shirts are on their way!
One issue was the l/s yellow shirts were not available from bayside, so
two of the shirts are gold.
They all turned out great and really look good. Any issues with the
gold let me know, or any issues with any of the shirts

BTW, I will need help with the cornhole sign ups and also the cornhole tournament as well...I've had a few people (Islander_212) offer their help. Will be down at the dock on Friday and will get with those that have boatels to see who else is available to help.

Post by E_ » Wed May 08, 2013 10:49 am

Islander's offer wasn't good enough cause you worry if he will be back at the dock in time? lol

raptorlvr · Post by **raptorlvr** » Wed May 08, 2013 11:19 am

He's already on my list of helpers.

re3too · Post by **re3too** » Wed May 08, 2013 1:47 pm

Islander is usually always on someone's list, right?

Post by E_ » Thu May 09, 2013 8:20 am

You gonna come see me Saturday Re3? Forecast keeps looking better for the party. Thinking about driving to JRM and then taking the boat across the harbor (if it will start since I have not seen it since early December). Really meant to go down a couple weeks ago and plug up the charger.

re3too · Post by **re3too** » Thu May 09, 2013 9:33 am

Tou know GWW won't come near...

Post by E_ » Fri May 10, 2013 8:12 am

I'm thinkin tomorrow afternoon might be beautiful! What about a rainy morning brunch? lol I miiiight come down early to see if the boat is still there and it starts. Doubt it on the latter.

re3too · Post by **re3too** » Fri May 10, 2013 1:12 pm

When and where?

Post by E_ » Fri May 10, 2013 1:18 pm

Well if Somerset it might would be more like breakfast but Jamestown would be more like brunch. Heck I don't know where or when at this point. Just found out JPatton is most likely going with me so I don't know what time we will leave and how I will be on time since I want to have time to pull the boat out of the storage and see if it starts etc. (might even launch it)

re3too · Post by **re3too** » Fri May 10, 2013 1:54 pm
