Mid-West CC Reunion - June 19 at Cedar Point

[99ProAir]

The reunion was a good time. Nice to meet Luke & Jeff and some other members. Greg Meloon's 226 was a sweet boat. The wake was unbelievable. Cedar Point turned out to be a great venue. Already looking forward to next year!

Just wanted to say that we had a great time at Cedar Point as well. Hopefully the event will continue to grow even bigger next year! The best part was that it didn't rain! There were some awesome boats there on display as well. The 226 that Greg Meloon has is awesome and the sub that he has in there is even better.

That blue gray 196 on page 4 photos is a sweet looking boat. It looks to be a 2004 with the big Nautique Logo.

Sorry, Its page 3 photo 2...Thats my next colors if they have for 05.

Here are a few more shots. I didn't get as many as Luke did. I think he got one of every boat that attended! Make sure to check out Luke's pictures in the photo gallery. Anyway, here are some of mine.

BTW... does anybody know who won the contest for "traveling the longest to get there" and where he/she was from?

[Luke]

I don't remember their names, but they came up from somewhere in Florida. Talk about a long drive!

Yeah, Luke's right. Neither one of us ever stood a chance! At least that makes the fact that you couldn't come a little easier, right?

Haha, yeah... I guess so. It woulda really sucked if we woulda won if we did come...

That guy must have been a real diehard. Probably the only guy that got to go to all 3 reunions!

Here's the group picture from Cedar Point. Thanks to Mid-Ohio Nautiques for sending it over. I think it turned out really well. I wish it could have shown all of the boats, but there wasn't really a way to get them all in the shot. There is another row of boats that cannot be seen in this picture. It sure looks good with those roller coasters in the background!

So what was the final count on how many attended?

[SprintCar39]

The reunion had about 800 people attend and over 60 boats. Not bad but would have liked to see even more peopel and boats. I think taking a year off hurt us a little in attendence. We are working on the dates for next year now and trying to have more events. We are thinking of having a wakeboard clinic or wakeboard tournament as well as some additional ideas. We are also looking at moving it to the 4th of July weekend. What are everyones thought about that date? We are going to be working on this now and be better prepared for 2005. Oh yeah...did I forget to say that they are going to go back to doing this every year again.

[NautiqueJeff]

My personal feeling is that the fourth of July weekend might not be the best time to hold this event. While people will probably have more time off of work then, the park will probably be packed, the roads will be busy, and the reunion would be competing with other things going on at that time. We might lose some participants that would otherwise attend. I'll probably be there regardless of when it is though.

[SprintCar39]

Cedar Point has suggested that day because it is one of the slowest days they have. All holidays are slow at Cedar Point....it is one of our little secrets. I agree about the date....looking for opinions so that I can pass it along to corporate.

[99ProAir]

I think most people look at that long weekend as a "boating" weekend. I personally would not be able to attend if it were held at that time. I do like the idea of wakboard clinics or tournaments. That would be great. I think you would get a good turnout due to your central location. Hats off to Correct Craft for recognizing that the reunion should be held annually.
