People should include what they are bringing in the way of foodstuffs!

• BruceDawson - supplying beef, location, and some munchies.
• CaroleSoule - See what BruceDawson is bringing.
• EdLawson
• MadDog - buns (assuming "beef" is hamburger), cole slaw, potato salad, macaroni salad, all store-bought). Need to estimate buns...four per person? (4pp is fine - assuming most people bring a friend/partner/associate). Mustard (spicy brown and yellow), catchup, pickle slices, Guanana (you will see)
• MattOquist - fruit salad & cookies
• GuyPardoe - Drinks (beer,soda,water)
• RobertAnderson - chicken and broccoli casserole, homemade biscotti

Misc

The venue is a old largish farmhouse on the top of a hill. It has internet connectivity (wireless? asks maddog...should I bring a wiresless router?) and a projector.

Bruce asks: Can someone bring a laptop? Ted answers: Have laptop, will travel.

Fireworks

Bill McGonigle asks: Do we need fireworks?

Bruce says: Fireworks cause stampedes, and since there are cattle and an expensive pregnant horse around, fireworks are not a good idea (we have enough problems with thunderstorms). Besides, it could be pretty dry, and we don't need a brush fire either! The neighboring golf course may have a fireworks display anyway - they occasionally do on weekends.

Ben says: Heh heh. Fire's cool. ;-)

BonFire

Bruce says: OK. Weather permitting, we'll do a bonfire. BTW: Weather permitting means: it needs to rain. And we need a burn permit, but I think that's a cinch if there's rain.
