There is a Ski Race at the springs on the 11th. Your group should make a fly by. Hallett was big in ski racing back in the day, there is still a couple of 210's that race.

We are one month out and I want to thank our sponsors for their support. Without them this event couldn't happen!!

Friday around 10. Look for an itinerary by Monday via email. Finalized just about everything this week. Just a few loose ends to dial in.

I was thinking the same. Hammer ( Mike) must work for the government, the way he is keeping this thing under wraps. Halletts In Hiding.

I was around but didn't pay. Didn't look if there was this, but a light buy in for Saturday only would suit me better.

Anyway phone overheating and couldn't get any pics.

I didn’t get any pics really of the event, but we took a bunch of video and some interviews that will be edited up this week!

The dinner was the best event at detail specialties they have had yet! Mini boat show with some immaculate pieces.. nice dinner catered by Chico’s and a ton of give aways! I was really impressed by it.

We had a VERY LARGE turnout this year. I kind of wanted everything to be a little under the radar until it was over. We are getting bigger every year.

Boat show and Lakeside speed and shine brought in an over the top camaro they built. As Dave mentioned, fully catered by Chico’s Tacos and we had a live band that was awesome. Raffle prizes from our sponsors. The list goes on…. The vibe was great, until I Inadvertently killed it with 30 minutes-of raffle price giveaways around 8. Lol

Only thing that really sucked was the weather. It was hot at the banquet. We can’t fit in any of the banquet halls anymore. We had to move it outside. We’ve maxed out capacities indoors at every venue we have used. I guess that’s a good thing!? [emoji1787]

looks like a hell of a time!! Awesome turnout. I know you and your wife put some time and effort into this event.

Boat looks badass, along with all the others. I’ve never seen a Hallett I didn’t like.

Now that I have had a day to regroup and get back to work I can do a little recap......

First off I want to thank all of our sponsors. I really couldn't have pulled it off without their support...Hallett Boats included!!
8.30.21 Itinerary Packet-Revised. 2.jpg


Friday- Run up to pirates for lunch
I had a Helicopter scheduled to follow us into the mouth of the river, I was going to surprise everyone as we typically only have a helo one day. Some wires got crossed and they were about an hour late(this almost always happens, helos are never on time). One group left really early, then another guy took off which 10 more boats followed and then another group of boats left. We literally take up every dock spot, the entire cove and every available beach spot on the pirates side and most of the beach on the other side so I get wanting to get there first for prime parking. I also understand as it was hot and taking a little while and it was hot. In hindsight, I probably should have let the cat out of bag so the group would hang back. However, the guys that held back got prime photo opportunity's from @Tommy Gun Images and Video from Havasu Media Productions.

The Pirates run is always the most fun for me as it seems to be the easiest place to gather our group and see all the boats. This year I did a poor job getting photos during the run. I had a new to me boat and was a lot more focused on getting comfortable with it and was really nervous about leaving it unattended. I was able to go visit a few people. I also had the kids in tow and wanted to make sure I didn't leave my wife and mom on kid duty while I was socializing all day.

Saturday- Photo Shoot and run to 3 dunes......

Saturday for me was kind of screwed up, I got a call around 5 Friday night from my dad who blew a drive and I had to go get him just below the sandbar and tow him back to the Nautical. After we did the photo shoot I had to go back to the Nautical and figure out if my dad was coming with me or not. I did not want to just leave him hanging. The new to me boat doesn't like to sip fuel so I also had to fill up. [emoji23]. I didn't get to 3 dunes until like 11:30. Some people started to leave already and the copter already got our standard aerial cove shot we get every year. We were still able to hang out and have a good time though. (Sorry no pics of 3 dunes)...

Saturday Night Banquet-
This was the first year we did a dinner, typically we always do breakfast but we had to many guests to host it at the Nautical Banquet Hall(My personal and favorite has always been the springs breakfast run, but we exceeded their outer harbor rooms capacity years ago). So we switched it up, I had such a great time at the RDP DS party at Detail Specialties I asked Chris and Patty if they would do one for me. They did with open arms and were a huge help behind the scenes. I decided I wanted to do a mini boat show and classic rock/country band. One Eyed Romeo knocked it out of the park! We had Chicos cater it and had a cash bar, Mudsharks supplied the beer and it turned out to be a great night. The raffle killed the vibe around 9 though. It was also hot which kinda sucked being outside. There was nor breeze early on which made it worse. Other than that it was a great turn out and I had a great time. We will be making adjustments to that program for next year. All in all it was a great event and turn out and we are already planning for next year.

All in all it was another great weekend and my wife deserves all the credit in the world. She organizes everything behind the scenes and handles mom duties on top if it all! Hope to continue to grow and have more Halletts next year,,,,
