Rockford Illinois Area - HAMB on the Rocks

Mid Week Bump.. Only going to bump it once more on Friday afternoon.

 

sorry not ganna make it going to kentucky to pick up a seat for my 59 chevy $75 cant beat that... sorry .......Jones

 

I'm sorry guys, I really wanted to come to meet up with abunch of you but there is a butt load of snow in Michigan and my sledmobiles are callin me. I dont get to go to the cottage much with work and all so I gotta take it when I can get it. I hope you guys have a good time , knock down some cold ones for me, maybe i'll catch you all next time, Mike.

 

Can't make it. Have to work Saturday.

 

..that Byron Dragway HAMB thing sounds really neat,..we should try to do it a couple of times thru-out the summer. Let's see what we can work out.

 

I might make it

 

Last call and bump for January. Hope to see you there.

 

let us know how it goes if you plan on doing another that i can make it to

 

The current plan is every month. When the weather turns nicer and the car shows start to get busy, it could move to a sunday morning.

 

I can't make this one either. Not really happy about this weekend either. Hopefully next month will work better. Hope everyone has a good time.
Scott

 

Scott, you want me to pick up your jacket for you???

SWWWEEEEETT

Jeff,
Going to make it.

Well the first HAMB on the Rocks happened today... Now if it had just been me and Derby splitting a couple of pitchers I would have considered it a success. But since there were 16 people there, I have to consider it a HUGE success!

Many thanks to everyone who made the trip out to have lunch. We had guests from Jefferson, Verona, and Janesville Wisconsin as well as some of our Illinois neighbors from out East (Aurora, Mokena, and Morris). We also had a good group of locals from Rockford, Belvidere, Machesney Park, and Byron.

The Firehouse Pub put us in a nice side room, had a good selection of drinks, and everyone seem to think the food was real good.

A special thanks goes out to Larry (OldBobSign) and his lovely bride to be Gloria for the super cool name tags and awesome "Meet & Eat" stickers!

We hope to make this a monthly thing (especially while the weather is poor) so we will bump this thread late Jan to see who is interested for February.

Also in March we can probably tour this museum as it is located right close by. http://www.historicautoattractions.com/


Here are a few pictures from our afternoon together.



The Firehouse Pub is where we had the event. They set us up nice and rolled out the welcome for us.









Thanks again Larry!!









The Group! I think a few are missing?






Pics from around the table..




















Again many thanks to all who attended and I hope to see you all again. -Jeff

 

thanks, Jeff, for taking the lead on this. I had a great time, nice meeting everybody, especially Mm Evil Clown. Hope we do this again.

 

Jeff had a great time... I was able to talk to afew guys I havnt seen in a while. I wish I could have made the rounds alittle better. Well there looks to be a next time. Ill be down for that one. After Von Harmann and I left we went on a wild goose chace looking for this Henery J. The bad part is he forgot were it was at. Larry thanks for the sticker and the talk about the roadsters...... Next month see you guys then!

 

Thanks for putting this together Jeff! It was great to see some old friends, and meet some new ones. Sorry I didn't get to meet everyone personally, but I'll try to catch you next time.

I think a good time was had by all!

Looking forward to more of them

 

Hey Jeff,
Glad you came up with this idea. It was a H**l of good time. See old friends & meet new ones. I'm ready for the next one.

Thanks, Geo aka Derby

 

Great idea Jeff. Good to see/meet everyone. Can't wait for the next one. JB

 

Looks like everyone had a good time....sorry i missed it, but i'll be there for Feb. I know it's early, but do we have a date?

 

It would probably be a good idea to avoid valentine's day so I'm thinking Feb 21st.

 

yah...maybe a good idea. It that's the date...calendar is marked...
I missed a good time....i suck!

 

I dont think that will work ...Im going to Cheech and Chong that night Up by Green bay

 

too bad, we voted, you leakers will not be invitedsucks to be you

 

But I had to get my seal fixed so I won't leak anymore. LOL

 

Had fun, let's do it again some time!

 

Sorry I didnt make it. Ill try and make it next month

 

Yep me too. The 21st or whatever Jeff mentioned should work for me.
