The next open Carry picnic in the Kalamazoo area will be on August 9 from 1:00 to 4:00pm at Westfield Park in Portage.
There's a lot of space for a lot of people, including a pavilion with picnic tables and a grill, a playground (for all of those youngsters at heart), tennis courts, a beach volleyball court, and basketball hoops. There are bathrooms there as well. The best part is that there is no illegal firearms ordinance! (Not that it would matter if there was.) There is an ordinance against alcohol, in case any of you were wondering.
There are two parking lots, but we will be closest to the one on the east end near the pavilion, so park there for your convenience. The park is on Milham, and the closest cross streets are 12th and Milham.

Turning off of 12th onto Milham, going east, the park entrance (the second lot, not the first) is on the left about a fifth of a mile or so down the road.
Here's a list of things we'll need:
Grill - ZZZ
Dogs/Buns - ZZZ
Brats/Buns - SA-XD
Burgers/Buns -
Spices for the meat -
Potato Salad -
Dessert -
Chips -
Condiments -
Cooler - EM87 (But we'll need more than the one that I have for the drinks other than the bottled water.)
Ice - EM87
Water - EM87
Pop -
Napkins/Paper Towels -
Paper Plates -
Plastic Ware -
Video Camera/Camera - ZZZ
Signs -
Paper handouts -
I'll start out by volunteering to bring a couple cases of bottled water, as well as a cooler full of ice to keep it all cold.
Please RSVP by posting to this thread as attending or maybe attending, and if you plan to bring guests, include that number as well. As with all of our picnics, everyone is welcome whether they carry or not.
It's gonna be a grand ol' time!
