Keys Gathering: Food & things to bring

65Bowrider · #1 03-21-2009, 07:50 AM

Less than 2 weeks away ... it has been suggested we do a little planning on the food so there's not too much duplication.

Between DonV and I, we are supplying the plates, paper towels, cups, utensils, BBQ grills & charcoal, elec skillet, deep fryer, smoker, coffee stuff, breakfast foods & some ice chests. ESD bringing firepit.

Firday night pot-luck dinner ... bring your own main BBQ item plus a side to share.
Suggestions: BBQ beans, green salad, pasta salad, fruit or fruit salad, desserts, chips & dip, sodas/mixers, vegetables, potato or rice dish.
We always have too much food, so please don't make huge dishes.
Please post what you'd like to bring so everyone knows.

Also, could someone bring a little firewood for the firepit?
Anyone have an extra coffee pot? (I have one)
Please bring your own folding chair and beverages.
If camping, you'll be much more comfortable on an air bed as the ground is hard, tent, and a towel for your shower.
If you're docking your boat, please bring FENDERS!

What about a small raffle??? Anyone have something they'd like to donate? I'm open to ideas & suggestions ...

That's all I can think of for now ...

I have acces to some cheap wood so will bring some. We also have a percolator but I will get Susan on here too

Susan ask if it was grass or kinda shell- she has this astro turf thing for camping

Thanks for the wood & percolator. We added "fill" to the lot to raise it another foot... so it's definitely hard.
It's been very windy, good tie-downs for the tents may be needed. We'll have handy a hammer & short rebar to pound in some holes for the stakes...did I mention the ground was hard?
