Goodbye, January. Hello, February!

Hey!

Just wanted to stop in and remind everyone that deposits are officially due this week on February 1st.  Crazy right?  Is it just us, or did January fly by?  We really appreciate all of you who make an effort to send your deposits in on time.  It makes it much easier for us to know which weeks to focus on promoting as we attend sports show this spring as well as plan accordingly for the season ahead.  We wrapped up our first sports show yesterday and had a great time at the Illinois Fish & Feather Expo here in Bloomington, IL.  Thank you to everyone who stopped by to visit and learn more about Eagle Falls Lodge.  Here is a peek at our booth:

No idea why I thought the "hands on hips" pose was necessary.  Good grief!  We booked a few groups over the weekend and fielded several calls today in response to the show, so we are pleased!

Side note: What is with the single digit temperatures quickly followed by 50+ degrees today?  For those of you with pets I'm sure you can relate to the constant muddy paws coming in and out, in and out, in and out.  Cosmo and I ran this evening and we both needed a bath afterwards!

Have a great week!

Illinois Fish & Feather Expo

Hey everyone!

Quick recap of the last 5 weeks:

1. Merry Christmas

2. Happy New Year

3. Happy Birthday Travis (& his brother Carson - same birthday!)

4. Hotel Mack opened up with a visit from Carrie's mama, Gran, and brother.  Quick wash of sheets and Travis' sister arrives to stay with us during a medical school rotation in Bloomington, Illinois for the month of January.

5. Good friends continue to visit us (how are we so lucky?) Shout out to Travis & Mary-Jane Owen!

6. Lots of chilly runs with Cosmo while we are fairly unrecognizable due to the amount of clothing required.

I guess we should be used to being busy by now, but how the heck is it almost February already?

That "win a trip to Canada!" line is regarding yours truly - Eagle Falls Lodge!

We are excited to start our sports show season and will begin next weekend here in Bloomington, Illinois.  We have done this show each year and it is a really nice event.  We get to chum around with lots of local guests and fishing enthusiasts.  Definitely helps to tide us over while we patiently wait for spring.

This show runs Friday - Sunday, January 25-27 at the Interstate Center (on the McLean County fairgrounds) on the west side of Bloomington, Illinois.  Click here for a map.

Please visit the show website to find out more information about what seminars are planned and what exhibitors will be present.

As always our booth will feature delicious Maple Creme Cookies straight from Canada!
