Barbecue Planning - Xmas In July

[pgfrix]

Based on last year's success and in spite of the Icepocalypse of 2016, the GAPFS Holiday After-Party (Christmas in July) returns to Group Shelter B at the Fort Yargo State Park in Winder, GA on Saturday, July 1, 2017.

If you're interested in registering for the event, check out:

As we learned last year, the shelter includes a full kitchen with sink, stove, microwave, and refrigerator.  There will be a reduced emphasis on small electrics this year, and the VOs are homing in on the highly tactical supply and entree choices below.  For those interested in serving ALL THE GAMERS, we are anticipating an attendance of approximately 70 or so.

UPDATE - 6/29/17
Current registered attendance is clocking in at approximately 35, so adjust serving plans accordingly.

So, without further ado, please indicate what you want to bring by name, and hopefully we'll get a viable organic distribution of offerings, or at the very least, inform the community of what gaps remain to be filled.  Some specifically requested items are highlighted in blue, and generally suggested items are in black.

How incredibly convenient!

Ill be back in Atlanta to visit family (in-laws) over the Fourth and I've been looking for a reason to be elsewhere part of the time.  Since I'll be coming in late Friday I won't have time to deal with food, so I'll pick up the disposables.

Put me down for 9" plates, 6" plates, and bowls.  If there are any other such items required (knifes, forks, spoons?) let me know since I suspect a Costco stop is in line either way.

What time will the event start?

[Tiffany H.]

Please count Jim and I in with enough pulled pork to serve everybody, a couple of times over...

Sadly, we'll be out of town that weekend.

[katiemac]

I shall bring infamous cheese biscuit appetizers for many.

[Soprovo]

I still have the 100 plastic cups (18oz) that I was going to bring last time. I'll probably bring some 2 liters, as well.

[jackd]

Thanks for the organizing, Perry! You probably want to get an entry on the calendar here as well.

Put me down for sodas and cookies.

[liamfisher]

I'll be out of town. :/

[Kerney]

I'm in and would be willing to drive any members (up to 3) who could not normally make it.

I'll bring some of the hard stuff after work, but it'll be around 715 or 730 before I can get there.
