Ok guys, I dont have all the info yet but here's what I do have.
When: August 6th
Where: Okmulgee State Park
If you have been there before then you pretty much know the deal. But for those who dont. Annually the OHBA has a giant party for all performance boaters in the area, Saturday we are going to start with a brief drivers/safety meeting to let folks in on the do's and don't on our lake, then it will be a meet and greet, till about 2pm thats when we will serve everybody attending a home smoked BBQ dinner. After we are all stuff full of BBQ and everybody weighs 5lbs more we are going to have a little radar run (like last year) with a lane marked off and a designated spectator area. Then about the time the sun is going down and everybody is that custom shade of sunburnt we are renting the brand new pavilion the state park just built to have a live band come out and help us get the after party going till 10pm, then we can retire back to the camp grounds and finish the night off proper.
This is not a closed event, Oklahoma state boating regulations do apply and will be enforced, so please make sure your legal. You will be responsible for yourself.
But we still have a very large time, and have never had any problems. Last year there were about 70 boats in the water.
This is a family friendly event, there will be children there.
Just remember this is a party for you, we're just throwing it, so come and enjoy! ON US!!!
The plans are still developing and things will be added or changed right up the day of the event so stay tuned.
