My current count right now is 94. Thinking we may see some more added in the next few days with the reminder going out. Of these 94, I have the following who offered to help with setup:
Dave - (was told 10am)
Richard
JC
If there is a preferred time for people to come help out, I can send a note to Richard and JC about it as well as any additional responses that come in. I know one email I have seen amongst us said to start about 8am so arrangements can be made for cake, ice, etc. As below there is a water spigot at each shelter so should make things a little easier. Our reservation goes 8am-8pm Saturday.

There is no electricity. There is no vehicle access (for unloading) directly adjacent to to this shelter.

In addition, I might suggest bringing lawn chairs as a creature comfort.
