Monday Lunch Bunch

On most Mondays a group of hams and guests get together for lunch at a local restaurant. The group is surprisingly called the Monday Lunch Bunch. Here is the group at the BackBurner Family Restaurant in Prescott Valley on June 3, 2024. The best way to find out where the lunch will be is to listen to the Knobby Knee Net on Monday mornings.

The Knobby Knee Breakfast

Or some would say this is brunch. Here is a recent gathering at Randall's Restaurant in Cottonwood, Arizona. If you would like to join us show up about 8:30am Wednesday for the regular Randall's morning breakfast.
