It's a little up in the air. We might have a show that day, but I don't know yet. *twiddles fingers*

I did pay for us to be able to drink as well, so if anyone wants to bring beer of whatever, feel free to do so. There will be kids there too, so no passing out....tell them you were taking a nap....yeah, that's the ticket...

All that would work. I wouldn't bring anything that needs heated, as I am not sure there is electricity at the sites. I pretty sure there isn't, as a matter of fact.
We also need people to bring coolers to keep the soda and meats cold until we drink/cook them.
Also, if anyone has dietary restrictions please let us know, or arrange to bring stuff for yourself. We have a guest who can't eat red meats so she is brining some chicken, but if there is anyone else who wants some they either have to let me know or tell me they are bringing some themselves.
We need:
More burgers buns soda snacks (chips, salsa, that type) music (please keep it fairly clean for the kiddies) CD player/radio coolers (the more the better) pasta salads potato salads Any special entrees you want to bring
Booze is BYOB... JenniK will have some cake for my dad's birthday, and she is making cookies, probably peanut butter with kisses on top....mmy favorite!
Anything else?
Oh yeah....trash bags and plates; we will bring some, but probably not enough for everyone.
Please post here and let me know what (if anything) you are planning on bringing, and I will compile a list and post it a few days before the picnic.

Kwea, I am off to AZ for a week. When I get back I will look at the list and see what is still needed. Liz

Thanks Liz, we should get together and plan a bit too, if we can find the time this before the picnic.
You said you might not be there until a bit later, right? If that is true we might need to meet up to get the screen tent you said you had and to set it up at the site. I will be checking the weather regularly, but rain or shine we are going to be there, unless it would be dangerous.
I plan on going with a griend ro three at about 9:30-10 am EST to get started, and quite a few (10-25) people plan on being there at or around noontime, so I geuss we will be cooking both lunch and dinner.
I will bring a Frisbee, and wiffle ball, and if anyone has any kickball/dodgeballs for the kids perhaps they could bring them too.
Bring your bathing suits as well, if it is really hot the water park is right next to us, so it might be fun to take the kids there and cool off ourselves... Super Soakers are mandatory... Remember, an armed society is a polite society....

I think I'll have to bring boring things, cause I'm closing the day before and have a store meeting that morning til ten so I can't make anything . I'll bring some soda and chips, and if we need more cups and plates, I can sure bring that too!

Rain or shine, for sure. I have heard two different forecast, one said it would be muggy with a chance of showers, one said scattered showers. It is still far enough away that they might be wrong, though.
Once everyone gets there, if it becomes really rainy, I guess we could find another, indoor, place to gather. There are plenty of little restarunts to eat at, movie theatres, that sort of thing, in nearby towns.

OK, Jenni and I bought the following stuff for the picnic....
5 lbs of burgers 3 packs of hot dogs marble cake snack mixes and cheese puffs...two large UTZ containers chocolate chip cookies...homemade! 1 roll of paper towels 5 lbs of chicken ketsup mustard
We also have some folding chairs, and a beach blanket or two.... My Mom is making Homamade brownies, my sister is bringing a cooler (I have one, and my parents have one as well) and buns, both hot dog and burger buns.
Myr said she will bring snacks and some paper plates or silverware. I will hit the dollar store and get some extras as well.
The site is payed for, and if you can't find it look for the info shack at the beginning of the park, by the tennis courts, and ask for the site of the "Hatrack/Brill" picnic reservation. We are behind the water park off a bit to the right of it, over the covered bridge.
Could I please have an updated list of who will be there? And, if you know, about what time you will arrive?

Hmm, if I actually get everything ready to get to the seven o clock store meeting on time, I will leave directly from work at tennish. It should take two hours from there, or so says mapquest. Count me in then!
Beca said she couldn't come (see a page before I think). I believe Martha's busy but I don't see her online much (silly me). Mike has a trapeze class in the morning of Saturday.
We're going to do a long practice and street perform on Sunday (if we can find a good spot).
So afaik, either Mike and I will drive up after his class on Saturday (leaving providence around lunchtime), or I will go with Kris and Mike won't go.
You can bother Mike if you'd like, I'll get a more certain answer from him later.

It seems like the forecast for Sat is scattered T-storms, which isn't a good thing....
But we will make due. Our site is under pretty decent cover, and there is a pavillion near by. I'm not sure if it is rented, but if it isn't maybe we can rent it for less than they wanted two months ago. One way of another the show is on. I am bringing some games, and some cards, but if anyone has a specific one they want to bring please do so.
I have Trivial Persuit (TV Edition), Chess, Yatzee, Parcheese, Monopoly, Othello, and LOTR Risk...and I play a mean hand of Rummey 500....
Also, scattered means the rain won't be continuous.
If anyone has any questions please contact me @ KweaSr@MSN.com and I will answer the best I can.
As I said, rain or shine we are doing it.
If the forecast gets worse, I MIGHT be able to find an indoor venue at a local Masonic hall, but I am not sure. I know there is one in 'Hamp, but I don't know anyone there myself, and I am not sure if it is booked yet. I will look into it, and let everyone know for sure.
But as long as I haven't posted anything here, it's a go for Look Park.
PS. My mom had a good idea,...she mentioned that with this many people coming it woudn't be too hard to take up a collection and pay for the pavillion, even if we don't manage to wiggle a better price out of them. I couldn't affor to front the money....it was somewhere around $160....not up front, by myself, but if there are 30-40 people there it would be under $5 per person. I don't know if that is an option, but it might work.
Kris, is it okay if I tell you by tomorrow night if I need a ride? It's pretty 50/50 if Mike's coming along, but if he comes I'd wait for him to finish his trapeze class...

Kwea, what kind of burgers/hot dogs do you have? Generic?
I usually bake things for events, but it looks like you guys have loads of goodies already. I'm not so keen on pasta/potato salads, so I'm still not sure what I can make/bring.
I could be on soda duty, for example. But that sounds so boring! =)

Suneun, whatever you want works for me! We still need soda, and any games you have that might be fun (in case of rain delays... ).
We bought some Ballpark Franks, because they were on sale, and for burgers we went to COSTCO and bought the burgers there....I think we bught a big box of them.
If there are any salads or veggies you like, we are a bit lite on those too....
I am really glad that you are coming!
Mack: Your camera, of course, and you said you were bringing your fensing gear, right?
As far as food goes, we need...hell, look above....
Does anyone have dieatery issues i need to know about? Allergys, non-meat eaters (vegans and veggie people... ), or anything like that?
Jenni just made PB cookies, and CC cookies.
They tasted great.
What? I had to "taste test" them, you know...nothing but the best for y'all...
I'll borrow an extra mask, glove, and jacket from my club. I also have my plastron, my own jacket, mask, and two foils. So we're cool. Posts: 14745 | Registered: Dec 1999
