    As many of you remember I hosted a party on Lake Shangri-La last year during our annual ice fishing derby! Well that time is quickly approaching again! It is an all day party with lots of drinking and wonderful food! And hopefully some fish!

    Weather you fish or not you should come and join the fun! We will have a raging bonfire, bowling, bean bags, washers and a great time for all!

    Several from the site attended last year and I hope to have more in attendance this year.

    The date is Saturday January 30th. It is all day so come as early as you can and plan to stay as late as you would like!

    Pm me or call me for more details! 847-436-2300

    Hope to see everyone! Jim

    I know that Isaiah is planning on attending this year. And I hope that Peak can make it again. And hopefully we can get some others from the site to attend this year also!

    No the bonfire will not melt the ice! Usually just makes a puddle underneith it but it is plenty safe!

    That's awesome Tony! Glad to see everyone is attending!!! Let's get as many people as we can.

    Just to give everyone some more info. After the party on the ice is completed we always head over to the association building for a night of fun. They have a dj, food, raffles, drinks, and ton's of other fun things. So plan to arrive early and stay late. If anyone needs a place to crash for hte night I am sure that we can find room at my place. Just let me know in advance if possible!

    Question came up of what it costs. To come out and have a great time with us it doesn't cost anything. If you are fishing and wish to register fish for prizes you need to purchase 5 tickets at $1 each. These tickets are also raffle ticket entries for you so you can also win that way. I have plenty of tickets for everyone when you arrive.

    I sent out a PM to everyone that I know was planning on attending. If you didn't get it let me know but call me. I am headed up to WI now so won't have much internet access for the next week or so.

    Looking forward to seeing everyone!
