Since our first meet & greet went so well here in Lex. yesterday, I thought we might throw around the idea of doing a picnic-getting more OCer's out and including family members/spouses/kids, etc. I think Liberty4Ever mentioned this yesterday. Anyway, I'm not real sure about starting a poll for dates, etc. So, if someone would like to do that, it's fine. Maybe just start a discussion on what people would like to do.

I was looking at the posting options. You have to add the poll when you start the thread. Not sure if you can edit a thread as the author and put the poll in. I'm up for a picnic just need to know well in advance to so I can plan accordingly.

Got the litter pickup on the 21st of June. My opininon is that wehave it in July possibly the 11th. I know liberty4life has the dates the park isn't reserved so the best thing is to go off of dates not taken.

Well, I'll do a couple more posts on this topic to keep it near the top. And then I'm done. If no one is interested, that's fine. maybe I'll try again later in the year.

i'll do my best to be there as long as there is some notice so i can arrange my work schedule to be there, a picnic or BBQ sounds great to me ... also planning to do the Guns and Garbage thing on the 21st if i can get the time off work.. hopefully i'll see you guys at one or both of the events

P.S.Dates, end of anywhere from Mid June to Late July would work for me (just allowing for time toget out of work)...as for locations a Jacobson Park shelter as Liberty4Ever had suggested in another post seems like a good location to me, or are you looking for another resteraunt type of setting ?

If we can get a big enough group to commit we should try for the BBQ in the park. If not the restauraunt thing would be best. Meet at a different one every month testing the waters in different parts of lex. Just throwing some ideas out there.

I hope we could do a picnic, etc. For those wanting to bring family/kids/friends, I believe something at a park would give us more options, etc. And location, well, I'm willing to travel, so it doesn't have to be in Lex. Let's all just throw out some ideas...

I'm hoping a contractor will take the trees I've offered and clean a little from the ice storm. Ruined my Utopia.

If he does his part, my land will be volunteered for a picnic. Got a nice pit, running water and a 140 yard shooting range. Pond and small wooded trails.:dude:

The Louisville members of AR15.com have been holding OC dinners at Beef O'Brady's near Papa Johns Cardinal stadium for a couple of months now and next time we schedule one I'll post it here. The Northern KY ARFCOMers do the same thing near the Covington area.

A lot of us are using the OC picnic at New Bethel Church as our June event so I'll keep everyone advised of our July dinner.

Mid to Late July works best for me. I'm up for any place really! Preferably with an hour of Lex.

Same here as I'm already driving 3+ hours so distance won't be too much of a deal for me. Late july would work for me also. Got a buddy I know who just started open carrying I'm sure he would come up with me as well.
