I was just in Edwardsburg today driving around. Also still interested.

You weren't driving the "Free Candy" van again, were you?

Still trying to get 50 quality posts? This one won't help lol

 

[warthog]

LOL Trying to post in my sleep. I have more than 50 posts, a few are even good.

On to[ic, I'd go to something like this but it sounds like it will be too far away.

Update: Working with Bob to figure out a date.
Then I'll start working on MGO to see what we can toss up for food, range time and whatnot.

 

[pyzik]

I finally talked with Bob today! Set your calendars for Aug. 29th. We'll have the pretty much the whole place to ourselves and the range fee is covered.

I'll be seeing what I can do within MGO for grill items (dogs, burgers, maybe pop).
We could do a sort of Pot Luck. If even just a few people brought a side it would go a long ways.

 

[9mmfan]

I'll put it on my calender! Woot!

 

[RyanGSams]

Awesome sounds good, hopefully we can make it.

 

[Ballstater98]

Shared. Let's make this happen!

 

[Bigtanker]

[pyzik]

I'm in. Edwardsburg CC right?

Yes sir.

I'll update the OP with address information and range safety rules.

If anyone is an RSO and wants to volunteer a little time we can rotate guys out so you get time to have fun too.

Sign me up too. I am looking forward to it! Thanks for the heads up Bigtanker.

I was raised in Michigan. Living in Indiana now for about 35 years. I have family in Dowagiac.

I will see if I can make it to the event as well. I will help with cooking if needed.

 

[BDS JIN]

I'm in NWI, but I'm in.

 

[Bigtanker]

Anybody coming from the NWI area, it's real easy to get to. Take 94 into Michigan, exit 4 to US 12 east. US 12 turns into M60. At the end of the 4 lane divided highway on the east side of Niles, Pine lake road veers of to the right ( actually M 60 goes left and Pine Lake road goes straight). The range is about 4 miles on the left (north side).

Cool! I'll let you know how the food thing turns out. I'll be working on it this week. Been busy this weekend.
