| BUNYANIZIN' |
| Back in 1984, a group of car club members got together and had a fishing contest at Dogwood Lake, in Glendale, Indiana, about 10 miles away to our southeast. It was an over-nighter with a big campfire, people sleeping in tents, and some even slept in vans. It was a lot of fun and we had several members in attendance. We had some prizes and also had some pretty nice weather, except for Sunday morning when we had some light rain. |
|
| We got together again a couple more times this way over the next few years, but nothing was really organized. |
|
| In 1989, we decided to have a go at it again, so we had a meeting to discuss this event. The result of that meeting was the beginning of what these days we call BUNYANIZIN', which is merely when guys get together to do that "Paul Bunyan Stuff". |
|
| We started that era with jon boats, primitive motors, oars, and some of the really fortunate might even have a olling motor. also, we slept in tents, under canopies, lawn chairs, and some even slept in their truck cabs! |
|
| We quickly evolved into larger, nicer boats, then the tents quickly turned into small campers, and then eventually travel trailers and motor homes. |
|
| Attendance has fluctuated over the years and has gone from about 6 members at the beginning, to about 10 to 12, and now it normally runs around 8 for the weekend. |
|
| The first Bunyanizin' was set to be held on a Saturday and Sunday but it was very quickly understood that 2 days was not nearly enough time to do all the things we wanted to do, so we started going out on Thursday evening. Over the years, this has been drastically stretched for some members because they now go the Monday before, maybe even the Saturday before! |
|
| Also, nowadays, we take almost enough equipment and supplies that it seems like we should need a semi trailer to haul it all in ! (It probably wouldn't fit in one!) |
|
| Also new in 1997, was the "Pond Tour"! It was too cold to do anything else on Friday in '97, so a few of us went on the first Pond Tour. This amounts to making you a 2 quart red beer to go and traveling around to the many ponds at Glendale. We have since made it an annual event. |
|
| The week concludes Sunday morning with a huge fish fry, (believe me, we fry the not so huge ones too!), featuring fried mushrooms and VEGE-A-MATIC french fries. |
|
| The date for BUNYANIZIN' XVI is May 15, 2010 . So if you're in the area, look for us and remember........REAL BUNYANIZERS GO SLEEVELESS! |
