Jeff and PJ say they'll be back.


Craig Johnson made beautiful trophies from wood that was the bar from the Sheep Creek Lodge when Jeff and PJ Ross owned it.  There were no 12 & under entries in 2010, so one piece of the historic Sheep Creek Lodge will be used again for that trophy in 2011. 
Get ready kids; it's an open field!

Jeff Ross awards the Appetizer trophy to PJ Ross for jalapeño bacon cheese scrumptious little things.

Plans for the event did not start out so well, though...
3/11/10

While hauling a snowblower to build the picnic area on Susan Lake I got stuck in 8" of overflow. - LT


Dan Kruse and the Big Lake Trails Crew of Dan and Cathy Mayfield came to the rescue. (Carolyn Haggard photos.  She was there working on the extraction ahead of everyone.)


Yours truly, quite glad of the assist.


Cathy Mayfield, with the leverage on the rope.

The next day Carolyn continued the rescue effort.

We moved the picnic to Flat Lake because of the overflow, and Haggards agreed to have it on their ice, but their plow truck was temporarily down, so...

Dan Kruse to the rescue (again)!


The rescued snowblower was put to work shaping the buffet table and seating area.
