Where's the pig roast info?
« on: May 05, 2010, 09:19:39 am »
On the left side ads at the bottom I see what looks like a link for the Pig Roast, but it goes to a thread for the 2009 pig roast.
Anything someone can design, I can sure figure out how to fix!
If I say it\\\\\\\'s going to take so long, multiply that by at least 3!

That because there is no official thread yet for this year's pigroast other then the date. which appears to the left.   Nothing is different though, It will be the same drill as previous years. However I would start planning on where to stay early as this years county fair is the same weekend as the pigroast, so local hotels and campgrounds may (probably will) fill up.

Jeff, for those who haven't been or aren't familiar (like me) and would need to plan, location, and rough schedule/times, and if they need to bring something, would be helpful.

The Pig roast has evolved into more then Saturday (August 7th).  Anyone that wants to come Friday August 6th if more then welcome, but be prepared to be assigned a job, like holding down a chair or something. :)   For any one here, we have a supper that evening and get the pig in the roaster.

Saturday the 7th we have a breakfast for anyone that is here early or still here from the night before. The actual pigroast as far as I am concerned is underway as soon as the pig hits the roaster the night before.  We try to eat around 12 or 1, something like that. When ever everything comes together.  If you don't show up until then, thats fine, but you are really missing out if you wait. In the afternoon we usually gather around and have drawings for door prizes that sponsors (and sometimes members) have provided.  There is no end time.  Usually its around midnight or after before people drag up and go to bed.

Sunday. Some people hang out or stop back by to visit and help pick up the biggest of the remains of the night before.

What to bring. Yourself and spouse, your kids, swim cloths if you want to swim. If you want to bring a dish to pass, thats cool, but totally unnecessary or expected.

Below are some google links that will be helpful. If you find a hotel or campground you want an opinion on, just let me know and I'll tell you what we know.  The last link it a link to us from google maps.  We have limited room here to camp. Its first come first serve.  I usually try and provide for those that have always camped here in the past first, and if they are not going to come, then we pass the spot on.  There is usually always room to plant a tent. Truck campers are easy to find a space usually, large R.V.s and trailers are very limited.

Ok, thanks much for the info (and the great forums which I'm addicted to). Brad
