The most wonderful and surprising things can happen when there are Forumites in the area!
On Wednesday, Mary Ann (Pelicanlady) told me that she was planning to take me out to Father's Day lunch at the Famous Dave's (BBQ) in Bozeman, MT. The word got around the Forumites in the area with the result that we had 13 Framily members meeting at Famous Dave's for lunch!
The West Yellowstone Chapter of the Framily suddenly expanded to the West Yellowstone, Old Faithful, Ennis, and Belgrade Chapter!
Maybe not a big deal in terms of a get together, but 6 of the attendees drove at least 200 miles (round trip) to participate. The prize for the greatest distance covered to join the fun goes to Bill and Jolene Whetstone and Jim and Pat Dick who came in from Old Faithful, Yellowstone NP, at least 250+ miles. Mike and Judy Wagner, along with Mary Ann and I, were the runners up, driving down from West Yellowstone, MT, 200+.
200+ miles to go to lunch!!!??? Now that's Framily spirit!
Here's the participant list which will match up, reading left to right, with the pictures below:
Ernie and Tara White
Bill and Jolene Whetstone
Jim and Pat Dick
Kim Bertram
Don and Mary Ann Nesbitt
Mike and Judy Wagner
Jim and Pat Godward
The blue bottles being held up in the second picture are bottles of Famous Dave's Original BBQ Sauce, given free to all the fathers having lunch at Famous Dave's today. Maybe that explains the long drives.......
The smiles tell the story.......
