Anyone up for A Ranchersnet Get-together Early Sept.???

Okay here is the deal. I called the Blackhills reservation center and got a reservation at the Penny Hotel for September 1. They have a few more openings at $69.00 for the rooms. It is 11/2 blocks from the silverado. If you are interested call the reservation center and ask for Rashmi. She is really nice and I told her that there was a bunch of us coming. The silverado package deal is $5.00 per person for the buffet and $10.00 worth of gaming chips.
As Haymaker says Good Luck....

Thanks for the info, Katrina!! will call tomorrow and hope there is a spot left for me, since the hubby will probably be going through 2nd cutting!! This one reunion I am NOT gonna miss!!! Will be thinking up some more "dopey" ideas for fun, too! :wink:
 
I got a room at the Super 8 on Cliff St. I heard it was nice to sit outside by the creek, so will find out. Has the place we'll meet been decided?

Folks said "just pick a place" so based on two comments I picked
Cadillac Jacks. I'm waiting to get a final count (including spouses etc) to see if we'll need a meeting room or just a table. Please send me a Private Message so I don't lose you in these threads.
If Cadillac Jack's restaurant can't handle the group we'll choose a different one.
 
Will try to make it. Have a whole lot of Hay Millet that needs baled up, moved off, and sprayed dead before wheat planting, though. Lordy, but it's been one busy summer! Hopefully will get a new full timer hired pretty quick here.

Just curious, Cal, how long the drive is for you to Deadwood.

Less than 2-1/2 hrs. Gambling's pretty low on my to-do list, so don't get up there much. I'll drop you a PM in a few days, glad you're putting this together.
 
Just read a recommendation that the restaurant meeting be switched to the 4 Aces Restaurant which has better eating accomodations for a group per Faster Horses. So we'll aim for that, not Cadillac Jacks.
 
To qualify that: "faster horses HEARD from a woman who lived in Deadwood that the 4 ACES was a much better place to accomodate quite a few people and also the best place to eat."

Now the pressure's on ME. I hope it turns out for the best.

(But, but, but... Jinglebob agreed; he likes 4 ACES and said Cadillac Jacks is more like fast food. And that is how I remembered it as well...just a little cafe with booths; no tables to put together or whatever;)
 
We should probably try and hang out at a specific place at a specific time, so that those who don't get there in time to eat could still hook up with us.

I ain't too sure how to do that, but would suggest we start at one end of the "strip" and work our way to the other, or set a time to meet at say, the Buffalo Bar where they have an outdoor live music and good food. They have a balcony area that overlooks the street. Tho' if things got a little heated up as per the Bull Session part of this site, someone might be in danger of getting throwed off the balcony!

We could all holler out "Ranchers.net" every 5 or 10 minutes and then everyone would know who we were! :lol:
 
I think we should all try to take some name tags and wear them when we are out and about. That way if we run into someone, we can strike up a conversation. Who knows, the casinos might think we are some type of important folk with all our crazy names we use on this board. Or they might call the paddy wagon and take us away!!!!
 
I'd like to add a little more to this little get-together.

Now as for myself, I have no talent; but there sure is some talent evident on this board. So I think Jinglebob, Saddletramp, sw and a few others could maybe ENTERTAIN us a bit, if we can find a little spot.

Maybe the fairgrounds, or maybe 4 ACES has a room we could use.

I'll try and check it out; in the meantime EVERYONE check out what talent we have among us! A little cowboy poetry, a little jam session...what FUN!

And maybe we should absolutely BAN any talk of borders, R-Calf, COOL, etc. Remember we want to have a good time!

I will start a new topic under Coffee Shop called "Calling all talent" and please post yourself or someone you know that would entertain us!
 
UPDATE:
I'm going to post a running list of Definite Attendees and Trying to Be an Attendee to our get-together on the "sticky" post on three of the forums. There may be folks who could come if they could share a ride with someone fairly local to them.

You'll be happy to see the latest listing of attendees. :D

Also, any updates to plans will appear on the "sticky" post and our cellphone number as the time nears in case anyone has a delay.

So the bottom line is that the "sticky"note will have the latest consolidated info, not this thread.

I just spoke with "4 Aces" Restaurant and we can get their private Boardroom which seats 14 (max) around a table. We have 12 signed up as definitely attending. I suppose if we have more sign up some of us can stand and eat or sit on somebody's lap! unless they have RULES. The lunch there costs $9.78/person (which includes the taxes, coffee/iced tea/water.)
They will waive the $150 room reservation fee if the order for food and drink comes to more than that. If 15 people show up we'll easily reach the $150.
(The regular restaurant has no reserved seating and the largest tables are for 6 people so that just won't work for this group.)
Gold Dust Restaurant has no reservations and the private room won't work.
Silverado Restaurant is supposed to return my call as is Deadwood Gulch Restaurant so we should have some word by Thurs.
P.S. When the Sales person asked what group it was and I said a group of ranchers there was a distinct silence on the other end of the phone.
Do you have a bad reputation out there!!!!??? heheehe. I had to laugh after hanging up wondering what she was muttering to her co-workers. :lol: Maybe that's why it's so hard getting a room? :idea: Next time I'll tell them it is a luncheon for the Daughters of the American Revolution.

Just talked with Deadwood Gulch Resort Restaurant and they can give us a private room that holds up to 30 people with NO reservation fee. We can order off a full lunch or dinner menu that runs from $6-$18. Address is 1 mile south of Main St. Deadwood (304 Cliff Street is the actual address but he said there is no sign that says cliff street). It is across from Comfort Inn and a Fun Park, easy to spot on the highway he said. I'm thinking we might need to go with this place if our numbers are increasing. Any thoughts?
 
I think we should get the larger place. There might be more that will come at the last minute. Thanks nr for all your hard work in putting this together.
 
This has a lot of new info in it for you to consider:
Sorry for having to quote and requote myself

Today I spoke with Silverado Restaurant, a pleasant lady Rose Spears, who said they have a private room but require "a minimum of 25 to 20 people or almost 20 people". There is NO reservation fee for the room but she needs that number for good staffing purposes.
She was trying to give me all the flex she could. I told her I couldn't state exactly how many yet will be attending so the best I can do is call her back a few weeks in advance and HOPE they haven't given it away. The fallback position would be getting a table which would be only semi-private in some area of their large many-"roomed" diningroom. She was guessing it might not be a problem on a Thurs. at 1 PM to be "sort of separate". I like the idea of a private room much better. Their group meal rate sounded good: a primerib lunch buffet $7.44 which includes tax gratuity and bev. which saves $3 over the regular non-group price.

Please, does anyone know how good the food is at the Deadwood Gulch Resort??
Or could someone call a friend who would know? :help:
 
I wouldn't get too excited about how good the food is, after all I don't think any of us are going for the meal, but the get together of all us wild and crazy folks who post here. I'm sure that any place you decide on will be fine.

I was in Deadwood yesterday for the Days of 76 steer tripping and drove right by the Comfort Inn. It's not hard to find, just take Hiway 385 south out of Deadwood. Deadwood is in a small, narrow, twisting valley and it's strung out quite a ways. But there are good road signs for the tourists and us "challenged" drivers!

I think a private room would be better and then if there is any picking and singing and poetry spouting, no one else will either have to suffer or enjoy said proceedings! :lol:
