Default XS Fall BBQ Caravan

Alright who's all goin?

Here's the info from XS:

This one is slightly different. I'm tired of running out of food, drinks, etc.. so this one is FAMILY STYLE. Yeah.. it's pot luck.

First, the details.

Date: Sept 26th
Time: 11am
Location: Baywoods Picnic area - Kensington Metropark (Picnic area G on the map)

<Click here for a map of the park>

Food:

As always, we will be providing the burgers and dogs and condiments. Unlike other years, this one is POT LUCK. Meaning you must bring something to share. I don't care if it's potato chips or your famous tuna casserole, bring something!

Beverages:
You're responsible to bring your own beverages this year. We always run out so we're running this like it's a family reunion, bring drinks for you and yours. If you want to bring drinks to share, that's fine. Just know we're not providing anything nor are we asking anyone to bring drinks for everyone.

Raffle
We will be having a small raffle to cover the cost of the event. Tickets will be $1 or you'll have an option to buy in bulk. Prizes will include a cell phone from Patrick @ Go Wireless and a few other little things we've picked up. We'll also be giving away 50% of all cash raised in various prize amounts.

FAQ

Alcohol Policy: The park has rules on alcohol. I believe it restricts glass bottles but I'll have to check. As with every year, I would encourage you not to drink as we're a big group of car enthusiasts and the last thing we're interested in is drunk driving. However, you are big boys and girls so use your own discretion.

Pets: Feel free to bring your dog/ferret/monkey but make sure you pick up after it. Also, if your dog is vicious, leave it at home. Remember, there's kids at these things.

Family: Bring them along! Seriously.

V8 owners: COME. For realz. This isn't some event locked down to the target audience of this site, if you're on here as a lurker or an instigator or just a troll.. come on out.

As always, I'm going to encourage you to bring something to do. The pavilion/parking lot is right on the bike path.. bring some bikes! There's disc golf, get a group together and go play! This is a celebration of the end of summer and a community event so the more you do that doesn't involve just sitting in a parking lot with your cars, the more fun you'll probably have.
Let's make the caravan list and what each of us is bringing food-wise. Also where should we meet? I liked the last place (intersection of 275 / 94)

1) Aznsky (Rob) - Dunno what I'm bringing yet.

Ok guys so I might have to bail on this. I know it's the big BBQ and all, but I feel like I've been doing too much car stuff the past 4 or 5 weekends in a row and I need to spend more time with the gf.

So I'm gonna take a break from cars this weekend and go to the rennasance festival with her and her friends. Sorry dudes. But take lots of pics for me!

Rob come on man
This is the last event really of the year dude...
Your going to have ALL winter to spend time with her. Then when winter is over and you both are ready to kill each other you do the car stuff again.

Brian-Deepu was right it is at the Kensington Metropark. which is awesome as it is much closer to me this year...

LOL - The wife is asking me the same thing. The Holly Ren Fest has an archery contest going this weekend. My daughter is an amateur but I think she might want to do it. So I might be there instead. If she isn't interested, then I'll be at the BBQ.

^^ OK, I'm working it.

The fam is going to the Ren Fair up in Holly and I'm going to the Xceed BBQ. About 1pm, I'll cut out and drive 30 minutes north to the fair. I'll see Brianna shoot at 2pm and hang a little while. Brianna is bringing a friend so all three of them will stay at a hotel that night. We have three dogs and a couple cats so I'll stay at the house to take care of them instead of bording the pooches. Sunday, I'll join them at the fair for the second day of archery. Wish I could enter but there's no way to share a single bow in the way they set this up.

So if there are any plans for after the BBQ (weather pending) I'll catch up with you guys there.

Brian,
So far its just you and me man...
This will be the poorest showing from this group in a few years actually.

If you want to just meet there, or on the exit off 96
Its up to you man
I am not planning on staying that long, I have to babysit my Goddaughter that night.
