Here's an event to change the pace of our winter. Forward by Jim Williams Wayzata
_______________________________________________________________ Please mark your calendars: Gull Frolic, NE IL at Winthrop Harbor Yacht Club, Date: Saturday, 19 February 2005 There will be donuts and coffee in the morning and pizza and the now famous "Sea Gull Stew" in the afternoon. There is a small entrance donation fee of $10 or more per person to defray the expenses of the event and help pay for food. The Gull Frolic is also supported by many local area clubs, so far, including: DuPage Birding Club, Evanston North Shore Bird Club, Lake-Cook Chapter of the IAS, Illinois Ornithological Society, Kane Co. Audubon, Will County Audubon, Wild Bird Center of Fox River Grove, and the Chicago Ornithological Society. This year's Gull Frolic will be around the same time--same station--Winthrop Harbor Yacht Club, near Skipper Bud's off 7th street in Winthrop at the Harbor mouth. The main speaker will be John Vanderpoel who will speak on the filming of the Large and Small Gull videos that are narrated by Jon Dunn. These videos should be out on DVDs by the time of our Gull Frolic. Off course we'll be chumming for alot of gulls both before and during the gull event.
