In pending final date, and likely +1

 

[Mark Foreman]

Apologies...
Date is Saturday, July 30th. Date was set to try and give people enough time to calendar swap if they want to. Added date to the original post.

 

[Brett-EDH]

I’m likely a +1.

 

[Chris Allingham]

I'm in!

We have 8 of 25 signed up.

 

[G Mouser]

Darn it. I will be in Glasgow then

 

[Timothy F. Lewis]

I’ll be at
Lake Huron, or just at home. Too far, I don‘t know but, I have some crazy familial gatherings to work around most of the summer anyway.
Have a GRAND time!

My daughter is pregnant and due in June so I'm not making plans to travel anywhere other than where she is. Hope you all have a wonderful time.

Congrats! Your first? We had 4 that are grown. Love being an empty nester.

Mark, it is horrible what is happening out there in Calif. I just hope all the members here that live in Calif. are safe and you all will be able to have your get-together. God bless you all. Please keep us posted.

 

[Mark Foreman]

Thanks Joan, your comment is appreciated. Here in Northern California water is the big problem unlike our southern brethren. I made the decision to have the event at my house cause there are so many fire restrictions in parks. Most parks in our area say no fires and we (Brett &I) still want to do this.

I'm down for making some proteins. Carne Asada? Pollo Asado? and I can bring the sides of a taco bar unless someone else wants to make salsas and such. Or I can bring ribs that are 50% done and finish them up on the E6. Just feedback some direction(s) and I'll do my part. Just say what you want to eat and I'll most likely do it.

Your choice. I am looking toward beef (bison), chicken, and pork. Sides I am open on.

 

[Rich Dahl]

Would love to attend but we just can't swing it. Hope you all have a fun day and looking forward to seeing all the pictures of the great cooks.
Be Safe.

 

[Mark Foreman]

Just bumping this up. Wanted everyone to know that this is still on the radar. My plan is to still host.
