Dear Friends,

It’s time to break out your beads, hats, waterproof camera and mark the weekend of July 30-31st.  That’s right, it’s time to Fandango!  After 18 years, this event continues to draw friends from all over the country.  We will start at 12:00 Friday for a relaxing 9 holes of golf at Landa Park.  This year’s format will be a two man scramble.  The awards ceremony will take place at The Hoity Toity at 2pm.

Afterwards we will me at Billy’s Icehouse at 5pm for the Letterman’s Association Happy Hour.  We have Kurt South playing later in the night so we will get fired up early in anticipation of the event.  Later in the evening, we will have the ceremonial “lighting of the pit” by Big John Marsh.   

This year’s headquarters will again be Gruene River Outpost www.grueneoutpostlodge.com and Amigo Mel’s Outfitters, www.amigomels.com Mel and the gang have done an outstanding job taking care of us through the years.  You can’t beat an outfit that knows how to handle a float of this magnitude and take care of our party needs at the same time.  Heck, Mel and his crew are Fandango family! 

Saturday morning our buses will depart Guadalupe Outpost at 11:30.  The water is running great.  The float should last approximately 4 hours.  It will end up at the Guadalupe Outpost where everyone will enjoy Big John’s BBQ at the TCU Lettermen’s Pit. 

Sunday at noon we will put down a few breakfast tacos at El Nopalito (12 noon) and then close the afternoon at Bubba’s Big Deck!  So let’s get ready to Fandango!  There’s no better way to beat this Texas heat and relax with your friends.  Pack your ice chest (no glass), put on some sunscreen, and get ready for a weekend…Froggy style.

Let’s get ready to Fandangooooooooooooo !!!!!!!
