Hey all,

Brand new to the forum, would like to attend on Sunday. I work until 1500 so I am hoping that people would still be there at that time? Also, I do not know what else would need to be brought. If someone could let me know if people will still in fact plan on being there after I leave work and what I should bring, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Welcome to the forum dbark.

I don't know how long it will last. Last year people were still there talking until about five or six o'clock. OTOH, last weekend at Jackson was rapped up around three, so who knows. Just swing by and if we are there, then join us.

Also, for these events there is usually a sign up. See the Events thread for what is needed, however if your going to be that late, maybe a desert. I can't say for certain we will still be there, but wouldn't be surprised if we were. I think we left the K'zoo shindig at about five.

I picked up some burgers, buns, cooler, pop, watermelon, and gas for my grill.

Picked up a barrel for the shotgun and and a holster last night. I don't think the shotgun will fit though. :lol:

I think I will make a punch bowl. No spiking it though, Just punch. Maybe Rice Crispy treats if I have time tonight. :)
My dad got 100 hotdogs, 7 12 packs of buns, condiments, Plates, Chips, and forks. He just came in with a bunch of stuff. Maybe some more buns are needed but hope that it will be enough dogs, can't hurt to bring extra though.

Is anyone bringing cups? Maybe some chilly or cheese for the dogs?

I've got a package of 130 plastic table settings. I was going to bring a 30-pack of hot dogs, but do you think it's necessary with as many as your dad is getting. I'll try to make something else up. Maybe a bean dip that could be used as chili?

Can't hurt to over prepare. I will be making signs for by the road to say something like Open Carry Picnic Public Welcome with an arrow. What do you think.

I think it's a good idea. I don't know about any rules regarding it, but have seen such signs in the past.

Also could someone bring a clean 5 gallon drink cooler. You know the round kind the dispenses out the bottom. I don't have one and I got all the punch supplies. So if someone has one they could bring let me know. Otherwise I guess I will look for one to buy.
