Put me down in pencil. The girls really want to come, I really want to come too but I have some aggressive claims on limited time off work. I will try and make it happen!

As per usual, we would camp.

Good morning Jim
Perhaps you wish to update the news banner at the top of the page for the 2025 beefest ?
I think all you need to do is unpin the 2024 and pin the 2025 topic but I'm rusty on procedure!

BeeMaster2 · January 05, 2025, 09:29:45 AM

Ken,
I had not done that. Rob has always updated it. I would love to know how to do it.

buzzbee · January 05, 2025, 09:44:09 AM

Yeah there may be more nuts and bolts to it. I couldn't recall how to do it and I couldn't recall how to do it.
Might be worth dropping a PM to Rob as its a newsworthy event. And if Michael is doing his this year maybe a rotating banner or updating when his gets closer?

BeeMaster2 · January 05, 2025, 10:09:29 AM

The banner is a great idea.

RSwanson · January 15, 2025, 02:28:06 PM
