Its the knucklehead few of every side that ruin it for the greater. We have a place in Hayward and its a big mix of pack, vikes and bears fans. Never had an issue but good ribbing. We were up in Mercer for the Bears/Pack playoff game and plenty of trash talking but we all laughed and shook hands after the game. If you get some idiot who takes it too far (i dont care if its sports, politics, religion) just remember, they are probably losers with too much time on their hands who actually believe the folks who they are rooting for actually care about them.... why waste your time on them.

Wow, I couldn't believe the Bears fans out in full force at Beaver Lodge on Saturday night. Probably 95% Bears fans. Like you said, where did they all come from? Popping out of the woodwork! Most were pretty good, and we were having some fun with them. I did get them to admit that was the luckiest NFL season/team I've seen in all my life...:D Owner was pretty accommodating to them all, and even giving out Bears TD shots. I passed on them. As soon as the Rams won, he put on the Bears still suck song. He had it ready to go! My wife starts dancing around! It was a great finish!

That was my group...we hung those TV's in the bar the day before and had a great convo with the owners so we came back to watch the game. Yeah it was good bantering and all is well. Nice new owners at Beavers.

That's awesome! My wife was chatting with one of the crew's wife for awhile. She was a RN for work, and they had a cabin down in St. Germain.
Thanks for the TVs!
Huge shutout to Matt, the owner! My diesel gelled up Tuesday morning, and let us hang all day in the room until I got it fixed. He ran into town for me to get 911 additive, and provided a battery charger. No charges on either! Went above and beyond. I recommend Beaver Lodge to all!
He said he bought that place a couple years, after his wife was watching a HGTV about remodeling, and sparked an interest!:)
I ended up needing to replace both filters(stock and lift pump) to get the diesel going again. I assume their will be more of that going around this weekend!
He said he was putting in electric pedestals outside the hotels for the fishing boats in the summer. And I told him the block heaters in the winter!
