Howdy all POG folks from Eric and Debbie Faires in Huntsville, TN.

We are home after wonderful Th, Fri, Saturday, and then Sunday morning OysterFest Spring 2010 in Mobile with lots of POG buddies. Was so fun to see everyone and have nice visits.

Thanks POG member Darrell from Bayou Le Batre (I know it's not spelled correctly, but it is about 15 miles west of Mobile). We really appreciate gift of 5 pounds of shrimp. It will be so tasty. Some of the POG attendees already cooked their supply up at the Saturday night feast, but we were not able to attend that. We got to bring our supply home. We look forward to eating it. We thank you so much for being so generous. We also look forward to your beginning to post on the POG forum.

Although our 13 year old son Jay is no Alek or Lucia or Jon Wehrenberg, we think he is in training. Thursday night, he ate 5 dozen raw oysters. Friday night, he ate 5 dozen raw oysters plus 16 more cooked oysters on the sampler platter for a total of 76. Each night ended with dessert of bread pudding and ice cream. Not sure where he puts it, but he is growing.

We made it home from Mobile to our house non-stop, about 565 miles. Non-stop means not even for a bathroom break. Felt good to stand up when we pulled into our driveway (after I stopped the bus, of course). Good to be home. Very good to be with our POG friends. We enjoy your company, and thank you. We wish all our friends safe travels on their journeys home or elsewhere.

Eric, Debbie, and Jay Faires

We enjoyed seeing everyone and had a great time. Truk said the nightshirt wasn't his color so I kept it. The highlight of the weekend for me (other than a successful trip to the Beau Rivage Casino) was being inducted into the POG band for my work with the panjo, washboard and kazoo. Thanks, Ed and Sandy.

We're looking forward to doing it again soon.

The nightshirt was really Bonnie's and for some reason she didn't want to wear it with so many camera's around. Makes ya wonder why she keeps coming up with all this sheep stuff? Not that there's anything wrong with that!! What she didn't tell the folks that couldn't atttend the choke and puke, was she was a big winner at the Casino and refused to share the winnings with poor ole Donald, while flashing a handfull of hundred dollar bill's under everyone's nose. Word has it that the Casino was sending the limo on Saturday to pick-up their latest high roller.

Disclaimer - I can't find the spell check!

Me and Micki had a great time and enjoyed seeing everyone over eat again and again at OF2010.

Many thanks to our new best friend Daryl Graham for the Shrimpers and the chance to tour the curise in at the Steak and Shake. Many sharp sharp Hot Rods.

Many thanks to Bonnie and Don for the inviting fire pit and Hospitality at the Bonnie and Don Vantare night club and eatery.

And Congrats to Bonnie on being the big winner at the casino. She was all SMILES!

OF Attendees

Sherry and I wanted to express our gratitude to everyone for their efforts in making this rally such a pleasant experience. We discussed during our ride home how although it was a long haul for a weekend it was well worth the trip. We had a great time and enjoyed making new friends. Hope everyone made it home without any problems. We hit a blizzard coming into Texas. Seemed quite bizarre with heavy snow blowing horizontal and even more so today as its going to hit 70 degrees. Ahh Texas weather!!!!!!!!!! Anyway can,t wait for our next POG trip (Maine) and more enjoyable experiences with the welcoming members of POG
