I will check it out hope to see a bunch of trains and Railfanners. Railfan Landon from Holland Mi
That means your official railroadfan.com spokesman will need to show up too.
I’m sorry JT my imaginary contract as self appointed unofficial marketing director for Railfan Landon ended on 01/01/2023 @ 12:00 AM.
Second this railfan meet up is a RailRoadFan.com/Facebook Railfan page event and because I’m not a member of Facebook it would just feel wrong to attend.

I am planning on attending the foamer meet & greet at Durand on June 4th, and will hope to bring a teen-aged foamer with me.

I think I will fire up the 6.2L and make the trip out there with J, and maybe little E.

Just got approved for the day off! Will be me and the fiance showing up sometime in the morning. Can't wait to see y'all and get paid for it.
This is my life. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

If this is a problem get used to it.

I was too. And I also corrected Y@ when he incorrectly used “fiancé” for his fiancée.

Oh, and congrats on your engagement. 😊

Is there any possibility that I can get a drone group photo of all of us during the meet? I thought it’d be kinda cool.

I assume you know who you are talking about. I wouldn't have made the correction because I wouldn't assume a poster was male (could be a woman talking about marrying her boyfriend) or gay (could be a man talking about marrying his boyfriend). Yes, I have undergone diversity training. :)
