Quit thinking dirty thoughts. We've decided overwhelmingly to bring our own hotdogs, brats, burgers, chicken, shrimp, spitted goat, alligator, snake, portobello mushrooms, etc...to our day at Stovall Park.
You will also be required to bring your own Beverages as long as they are NOT IN GLASS CONTAINERS! Cans, plastic drinkware, sippy's, big bowls of liquor.
I will provide charcoal briquettes, lighter fluid and matches for the grill(s) in the Pavilion area and coolers of ice.
Here's the hard part. Everyone attending will need to volunteer for one of these categories IN ADDITION to the meat and drinks for themselves or their group. With more than one person per category, you need not bring enough, let's say COLE SLAW for 80 people (my guesstimate). Work within your budgets and use common sense. To pay for the Park Pavilion, the Beer Liscence and Name Tags/Program we will be collecting $10 a head on the weekend of the Reunion. Here are the categories, please pony up on this site in the COMMENTS area. Once a category has 4 or 5 contributors or so, please select another.
1. ***Paper/plastic plates, flatware, cups ALL by PAT CRAWLEY! Thanks Pat!***
2. ***Buns (hot dog, hamburger, brat) ALL by Justine Trout Chapura - THANKS JUSTINE!***
3. Condiments (salt/pepper, mustard, mayonaise, ketchup, pickle relish)
4. Veggies (crudite, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, olives, onions)
5. Fruit (platters of mixed fruit, water melons, etc)
6. Sides (cole slaw, potato salad, beans, chips, salsa)
7. Desserts (use your imagination)
It is my hope that we can sign up for things in the next 2 weeks so I don't have to assign individuals to specific categories. Since our cost for the weekend is so minimal, I anticipate that everyone will participate generously. Every pot-luck I've ever been involved with has ended up with way to much food. I doubt this will be any different.
Please COMMENT on the blog what you intend to bring or email me with your decision by JULY 15. I'm REALLY looking forward to this.
Remember, Friday night at Margie Quigley's is BYOBeverage & J. Gillians is CASH BAR so don't forget your plastic money! Maps will be distributed in soft copy (email) by the end of July.
