The layout of the plan is as follows:

Lunch: Hope to put on some BBQ of smoked pulled pork, some salads etc - Beverages

Can I throw my name in for a possibly attending?

I’m going up north on the 27th for the day with my dad to open the cabin for the season and do some plumbing repairs. Puts me in the neighbourhood on the way back, I’m going to try to figure out a way to stick around for Saturday.

Jeeeeez nobody told me there would be smoked pulled pork at this shindig. I'm closer than Janger by 6 hours so i could make it if i put the Duramax in overdrive and one of the dogs could steer for a bit. Bloody cows are holding me back though, want to go to new pasture today, guess i'm out as well.

Dang. Now I wish I could’ve cleared the calendar.
Whats up for sale? Will you be allowing phone-in bids? ;)

I hope everyone has a great time.

Oh my gosh, the pictures of food and drink are almost enough for me to make the umpteen hour drive to partake. And then that hasn't even considered the knowledge sharing and fellowship! #very tempting
