Title: 2013 Joan Leonard Memorial Bunny Hunt!!(10th. Anniversary)
Post by: Shawn Leonard on March 01, 2010, 09:25:00 PM
OK folks, I could not wait!! We will hold a final one on the 3rd. weekend in Feb. 2013!! Cindy and I felt guilty for not letting everyone know, only a few knew this was it!! Same format will hold true for this hunt and this will truly be the last!! I have started plannin and have a bud who rents out huge tents,up to 300 people can be seated in just one tent, we will have space heaters and it will be less stuffy than the basement!! What do you all think? We should be able to raise more money than ever and truly end this thing right, please let me know if its a go!! I want to have Kathy and Doug back as well, so I will ask for everyone to help me get them here once again. Cindy and I say "LETS DO IT!!!" OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Shawn

Shawn,
You really made me cry with your final thank you in the previous thread. Right now I'm sitting here with a lump in my throat that feels like it's the size of a softball.

The feeling is absolutely mutual.

You can sense how I feel about Greg . . well, you're right up there next to him.

Your family, is amazing and a treasure, to all of us who have been to the Hunt.
Your Mom's memory is still in my heart every time I work on a knife, or reminisce over the hunts past.
Lord willing, you know I'll be there. Greg will be for sure!!
Thanks isn't near enough for what you have done for all of us and for the kids. But in it's simplicity it says everything.

Thank you.
Larry

I knew you couldn't let it go that easy.

3 years gives us a long time to save up for the kids too. I'll bet the turn out will be massive.

Wonder if we can get Mr. Tradgang himself to make an appearance? What do ya say Terry????

Good on you guys for doing your mom proud. Counting the days already. With any luck my 2 boys will be ready for it too. Skippy

Nice!!!! Homer and I also had the tent idea in mind.  I have a friend that has a rental company so I should get a good deal on a large tent/tents with walls and heat and then we could do all the eating and raffles outside.

  Also this year I want on dish duty, Cindy and the girls should not be washing all night.

 I cant wait for Feb 2011!!!!  OOOHYEAH!!!

Anyone making bumper stickers?  

We need one that to promote! 2013 End of  a mistake wouldn't be applicable   :goldtooth:  

Hopefully I will know some youngsters to bring along by then!

If everyone saves raffle prizes now, we will have to lump together prizes. Like a bow, exotic hunt, treestand, Knife, quiver,  arrows and a hunting buddy all in one!   :jumper:   (sounds funny but wouldnt be a bad prize   :rolleyes:

I will have several warm-ups but 2013 is the official date, we just need to finish our house and yard and need some down time. It will be a blast and if we have a ton of people we will just split them in two and hunt each spot towards each other and meet at in the squirrel woods!! OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Shawn

Shawn- you know that is the best news I have heard in a long time.. being shut in all winter with the winter blues, the hunt is something to look forward to.  Having an extended family like you guys to be able to see and tell stories to and listen to stories makes a great weekend.  So glad to hear about 2013, and can't wait to hear about some of the warm ups.  Remember- if you need help fixing up the backyard- I am only an email away.  I am just sorry I did not learn about the bunny hunt sooner, you and your family have made it like a second home to all of us.  

Thanks..
