It looks like a great day on the ice with a good turn out for MNO members.

[The General]

Nice meeting everyone.  My daughter had a blast and talked about it for 15 minutes to the wife when we got home.  She's still holding the bobbers and has her ring lights on.  Hey Pegg!!  At least you took a pick of my good side    Superstar should like it  !

Looks like a great turn out and a good time for all. Thnks to each and every one of you for giving the kids your time  and a great oppertunity.

[Pegg]

Hey General. Tought I got one from the other side but I think you are right about Superstar.

[Faceman]

I had a great time out there and want to thank everyone involved. My youngest son was very upset when we left. He really wanted to stay.

[kenhuntin]

Thanks MNO for putting this on. The Kids loved it. and The MNO hat is really one of the best looking hats I have. I felt a little guilty that between the five of us there we got drawn 6 times in the raffles. Maybe I should donate back so I feel better?

[younghunt13]

I hade a great time and hope we can do it again and I had fun meeting some of you.
 

[Randy Kaar]

Sounds like you had a lucky day. Never give that back! Just majke sure you show up next time!!!

Nice to meet you. Sorry my daughter didn't stay longer and have a chance to say hi. Next time!

[Woody]

Absolutely NOT!  You were fortunate today-I hope you bought a lottery ticket today considering your luck!  

To everyone who attended-thank you for coming!  I met alot of you today, and it was great to be able to put a face to your names.  I tried to get around and at least shake hands with the people who make this the best outdoors website in Minnesota.  If you're reading this-that means YOU!    If it wasn't for the members of this site-it'd just be a bunch of people (staff) sitting around starring at the walls!    The food was GREAT-(food ALWAYS tastes better on the ice).  Thanks to the guys who put that on!  And thanks to everyone for the camaraderie!  

I'd also like to thank the sponsors of this site for the donations you provided for our get together.  If it wasn't for your generosity-we couldn't afford to have prizes.  And without prizes, well it just wouldn't be as fun-especially for the kids.  Seeing their eyes light up when their number was called out for a prize was priceless.  My daughter won a jig donated by JR's (thank you by the way), and she was so excited.  During part of the 2-1/2 hour drive home she wouldn't stop talking about it- "Dad, will you put my new jig on my fishing rod?  Dad-what kind of fish do  you think will like this jig?" (answer-a HUNGRY fish!).

And last but not least-THANKS to the staff (including administration) of MNO for putting this shindig on!  Something this big couldn't be very easy to organize and set up.  Hi 5 to each of you!  

[Randy Kaar]

[Woody]

I forgot to thank the guys from Wilcraft who brought out 2 Wilcraft to demo at our get together.  That truely is an innovative ATV, one I'm sure we haven't heard the last of!  Perhaps you'd be interested in a sponsorship deal with MNO?    Thanks again for coming out guys!

[GirlGuide]

Hi Everybody!!  It sure was a fun day yesterday, and I am so glad that we got to meet so many of you!  Thanks for the name tags Bone, we sure needed those!  Also, I see that a couple of you were there that I didn't even know about, like Kenhuntington and Hunterdown...sure am sorry I didn't get to meet you!!  Hopefully next time, you wont be so shy!    Anyway, my husband and kids all had a lot of fun.  I will hopefully post some of my pictures later today.

Bone, it was awesome to finally meet you after chatting with you for almost a whole year.  It was also great to meet your supermodel daughter (I swear her legs went on for a mile, they started at about my neck for god's sakes), and your granddaughter was as cute as ever!!

Repoman, my husband and I laughed the whole way home, when we were talking about some of the stories you told us.  (example: waiting at the stoplight after you had been @#$%)..OMG...too funny!  You are hillarious!

Faceman, it was great to finally meet you and your family, what an awesome family you have!!

General (Jenny-Jenny), I have to thank you for the jerky. Although, you didn't tell me what it was until AFTER I started chewing it!  I'm so glad I didn't gag in front of you or have to spit it out~and it ended up actually being very good!  Also, your daughter was as cute as can be, I wanted to take her home with me~although you probably wouldn't have like that much!  It was great to meet you!

I met so many of you yesterday, and it was great to finally put your name with a face.  We have awesome people here on MNO, we are so lucky!!

Lastly, I want to thank Don Stenseth!!  Thank you for donating your picture, I was ecstatic when I won it.  It is a beautiful shot...thank you, thank you, thank you!  And you are just an awesome guy, completely down to earth, hugable, loveable and sweet as can be.  I'm adopting you now, so watch out!  Now everytime you put a picture up..I'm going to have to say.."Oh there goes "MY DON" again, he's just an amazing photographer, "MY Don" sure does some amazing work.....  Seriously though, my husband and I just thought you were wonderul!  Thanks for coming and meeting everybody.

Thank you to all the MNO staff that came out yesterday, it was great meeting you all!  I could go on and on about each of you because you were all so awesome.  But I've already rambled on enough here.  Thanks for the great day, I wish we could have stayed longer, but our wrestling banquet started at 5:00 and we got home at 4:45!  It was so great that every single one of our kids all went home with prizes, and they could not have been more thrilled!!  IT WAS AN AWESOME TIME FOR EVERYONE!!!  THANKS MNO!!
