CRWB 2019 Shirt Tales

CORKILL RANCH WILD BUNCH

SHIRT TALES  2019

 

Howdy CRWB!

 

Whoa! Where did 2018 go? I have looked everywhere and can’t believe we are already past it. So, hello 2019! And what an eventful year it is already becoming. The weather has gone crazy. We live at 400 elevation and had snow! Now chains are required in Jackson, 1200 elevation just up the road from us.  What a winter!

There is also lots of news in our group. First, Vickie’s daughter and Linda and Jim’s granddaughter Paige is graduating from Azusa Pacific University in Southern California on May 4^th. Yes, the date is correct, and their families will be attending. We will miss you all but a big Congrats to Paige 👩‍🎓

We just heard that Rick and Denise Carreon’s son in law, Roberto, successfully joined the AirForce. We thank him for his continued service.

 

Babies! We have Babies coming! Our little Colette and fiancé Tony are about to become brand new parents! Their little nugget is due the end of April. A little to young for 2019 but they will be ready for next year!

We also have another baby coming in August. Louise’s daughter and our oldest granddaughter Reyna and her fiancé Nathan have a little peanut growing too!

So excited to meet our newest CRWB Mutton Busters in 2020!

Sandy and Jason are in the finishing touches stage of their ranch. They have a mid May permit deadline to complete their project. We know how much hard work you are putting in and wish you well. It will be like a reunion when we see you and your family next year!

Just also heard that DeeDee is moving back to California. She just purchased a home in Roseville and will be moving soon. I know Joyce has had a hand in helping to get her settled. Maybe we could see DeeDee, Joyce and Marv back up for the weekend. We miss you all

We were saddened to hear of Bill Corkill’s cancer. He has been blessed with positive results so we know we will be seeing him back in the CRWB fold and wish him continued success.

Jim Corkill, our resident author, has a possible movie deal for several of his books as a series. We have always enjoyed reading your stories and this is such an exciting step. Look forward to your opening and we can all say, “we knew you when”. We are your biggest fans!

We are also celebrating because Zachary’s health is good enough for a return visit! So excited to see him and family!

This and much more is in store for us. So, come hang out, catch up with friends and have some fun. Here is what you need to know for 2019…

Date:               May 4^th & 5^th
Theme:           Corkill Ranch Wild Bunch (Roman) “Gladiators”
Shirt Color:    Light Tan

Warrior or townsman you should be preparing! Go polish up your metal-ware or shake out your togas and robes.  Let’s get ready to rumble! Or at least be ready to arm wrestle for a beer!

Reminders

Reservations: We want to thank those that volunteered to make designated reservations for the group. The cost is slightly higher, and the funds are non-refundable, so we really appreciate your willingness to help secure our area. Our camp site area has been secured by; Jim and Christine, Blake and Sarah, Mark and Amanda, Jay and Harriet, Dayna and Zach plus our site.

There are still designated areas available near the restroom below and across the road. For the rest of you please don't forget to make your general reservations. The cost is $15 per vehicle per night (general) $20 (designated).  You can pay on line or Squaw Creek. I am understanding they will be visiting the campground as well.

Reservations: www.visitcolusacounty.com  (For designated, use Lodoga side)

Smokers: On our last day in the campground we walk the entire area picking up any missed trash including butts on the ground. We would like to suggest you bring a coffee can for outside. This helps keep the area clear for you and is helpful for those of us cleaning up.

Shirt & Rodeo Tickets:  We have pricing on rodeo tickets and shirts. Our web site is open for both shirt and ticket orders. If you prefer you may still order via email/phone/FB, then either mail a check or send electronically. The information for ordering will be at the end of the newsletter. Please remember if you do not get a response from me, I did not get your order. There are no tank tops available.

Fishing Derby:  Begins Friday and ends Sunday at sundown.

Mutton Busters will need to be signed up in March for Saturday rodeo. It is on a first come basis. Forms are on-line at Stonycreekhorsemen.org under Amateur Events. Ages 4-6

** There has been a change in the rodeo schedule. It now starts Friday night, thru to our regular Saturday then Sunday is Amateur events only. We need to find out if they will have Mutton Busters still on Saturday.  Also, the folks that usually attend the Sunday Rodeo will now be there Saturday, so seating is going to be a little more crowded. As soon as we confirm we will be sure to let you know.

2018 Recap

The lake was once again full and camping weather was great, but the wind was a little unpredictable. Awesome turnout too!  We know we won’t be worrying about water levels this year either!
