So we've got what - between 8 & 10 people attending this shindig? All of whom are bringing enough stuff to feed a small army?

Does anybody have even a guess as to how many are expected to show up?

stay safe.

I didn't want to have the picnic on a Sunday, but, when I went online to make the reservation for the shelter the ONLY date still open (for the entire year) was September 07. It is really frustrating because I've been trying for three years now to get shelter #19 or #20. But they are booked solid. Every time. All the time. So, I paid them some fiat money and took the 7th.

Does this pavilion have power to heat the beans? or do I need Sterno's?

Bring Sterno. If not needed you have your emergency heating/cooking taken care of.

Or we can squeeze it through burger buns.:uhoh:

stay safe.

I grabbed some plastic wrap, aluminum foil, and a case of bottled water on the way out the door. See you all there soon.

Well, that was a lot of fun! I hope everybody had as much fun as I did. My wife and son had a wonderful time as well. I think even the dogs that were there had a good time! Good food good folks good chat.

See you all next time!
