DonRocks Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 We currently have a reservation for September 28th. However, two people have chimed in and said they'd like to come, but can't make it on the 28th. This is to give them, and everyone, a fair chance. This poll will be open for four, and only four, days. I tweeted about it here, and I ask that everyone who sees this retweets my tweet so it gets around as quickly as possible. I want the date set in stone so we can start planning the actual event. Please vote on all dates that you WILL (not can, but WILL) attend. Thanks! Let's rock this picnic out. (Thank you to Ilaine for the work she has done so far.)
bettyjoan Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Done - voted and retweeted. I am also committed to making this an epic event! Can't wait to start planning with folks.
lperry Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 I clicked the "null vote" to see how it was going, and now I can't cast a real vote. Not an enormous issue, but I may not be the only one.
thistle Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 At this point, I can make all the dates (& I have a lot of reserve supplies-tablecloths, utensils, etc.). I'm sure it's going to be an epic picnic.
weezy Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 Although I love the idea of a Chopped competition, I wonder if this will be a good venue for it.. Maybe a country fair type competition instead for a few categories of foods? Just a thought.
DonRocks Posted June 20, 2014 Author Posted June 20, 2014 In general, "tastings" (of butter, types of milk, IPAs, etc.) are a good idea. And also, you simply cannot bring enough meat to a picnic. PS: Start voting pronto!
DonRocks Posted June 23, 2014 Author Posted June 23, 2014 Remember to vote by the end of today. I'd hate to see our two members who can't make September 28th miss the picnic, but right now, that's in the lead and I guess that means other, voiceless members can't make other dates.
ktmoomau Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 We could do a county fair type competition... categories could include something like pickled items, cakes or etc. We have some competition pros on this site who might have some good insight.
bettyjoan Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Looks like September 28 is still the date - can we unlock the event thread to start talking about planning/attending specifics? Woo hoo, picnic!
