2009 INGO Family Picnic @ ECPR 6/27/09: Planning Phase

[Paul]

depends the date. i will be living in jasper for a couple of months after may

 

[sjstill]

I just looked at Metro's calender, and with the exception of June 20-21 for the GSSF Match, May & June are wide open.

Unless IndyParks gets off their a$$ and hires some more people for me, we will be closed Saturday's for the foreseeable future, so the idea of doing this on a Saturday has merit.

 

[obijohn]

i'm in on 23, 30 may or june 6, barring unforseen circumstances.

 

[lovemywoods]

I will come. Saturdays are best for me. Any of the dates. I can help cook/grille if needed.

Y'all'd be wise to take Lovemywoods up on his offer to help cook...I'm just sayin'!

Also, the entire month of May is out for me. June is better and July is preferred!!!

 

[TomN]

I'll be there for sure. It'll be nice to see everyone again!

 

[sjstill]

There should be at least 6 picnic tables there, maybe 7 or 8 ft long. I think I have a couple 8ft folding tables stashed somewhere, too.

A smallish gas grill is usually present. I have a horizontal smoker that can also be used to cook direct. I don't mind bringing it.

I'm willing to ante up 10.00 or so towards meat and bring a side dish.

We talked a couple weeks ago about having a memorial picnic for Eric Rader this spring. Would I be too presumptuous to try to tie that event in with this?

if you come up with a for sure date I would have my wife take that day off then I would down for sure, and bring some ribs and wings

This is INGO. Rader was INGO. Cox is INGO.

I don't see any issues in honoring both.

INGO is family. All INGO is family.

 

[tatters]

I would sure hope to be there. Sounds like fun. I would be glad to pony up some.

 

[40calPUNISHER]

Im in for any of those days. Depending on the day I may have wife and child come too.

 

[IndyBeerman]

I'm in, only date I have a problem with is if it's on June the 6th. For some unseen reason besides me getting all fuzzy about it being WWII's D-Day
It's also going to be my 22nd wedding anniversary so if I don't spend that day with her she'll be laying down suppressing fire on me!

 

[smokingman]

We will be there. We(grumpe likes it when I use we)could provide pops to sell,donated to raise a little money for all those who work so hard around here. And pitch in some food as well.The only thing I would not like is limiting the number of people...I want to meet 2k+ INgunowners Limit on the number of shooters would be very understandable though. If we had 1k show up we would probably make the news lol.Tell me a date and if possible I may try and arrange a little suprize for everyone.

Dates to keep in mind:

Sunday, May 10: Mother's Day. (So, shouldn't interfere since the Boys aren't available until the 16th).

Monday, May 25: Memorial Day. (Race on Sunday, LOTS of traffic on west side the whole week...).

Sunday, June 21: Father's Day. (While somehow appropriate since this is a mostly testosterone-based forum, I'm going to guess family obligations might get in the way.)

Saturday, July 4: Independence Day. (Incredibly fitting, but again with the family obligations.)

Personally, I can tell you I'll be unavailable Father's Day weekend, and Lars and I expect to be completely anti-social the entire month of July.

Based on comments so far, I'm looking at June 13 as probably the best date so far....

And I'm getting married on May 9!

 

[dwh79]

If I am in state i would attend

 

[imprimis5]

Count me in. I'd love to be there.

Why not celebrate your special day with 500 fellow gun owners at Eagle Creek? I mean, that should really impress your bride.

 

[IndyParts]

And I'm getting married on May 9!

Don't do it!
