UPDATE

(I did it like that so you'd know it is serious  ;) )

I won't be able to make it due to work obligations - but i did managed to get all weekends off (no mean feat in the hospitality industry) once the hotel officially opens next week - so it will be an AS friendly schedule after that.

Brass Bucket asked me to say that she'll be able to make it for a while, but has a bridal shower later that afternoon so she can't stay the whole time.

These IITs from Duluth are a bunch of flakes  :wb:

Is anyone bringing plates? napkins? beverages?

Cooper's got plates...  Did you want to put yourself down for one of these? -Aftermath
"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

- Col. Cooper, The Art of the Rifle

We'll cover our crew and throw in some extra.  I think we have some of those special cups and plates that fly away in the wind.

Talked Mom into making an ice-cream pail of chocolate chip cookies.

Are there fixed grills at this park ?

Should I bring a bag of charcoal and some sticks to burn hot dogs on ?

Bread  OK, or do you guys want buns ?

Let's go with buns....  They hold up to a little more abuse in the park setting.
Someone will need to bring charcoal....  Hmmm.....   Needs list coming..... -Aftermath

 I'll bring charcoal, lighter fluid, some grill utensils, and venison brats. Pam and I may bring Zach, our nephew, rifleman as of April at Elk River. 20lb bag should be okay , don't you think?


20lbs is the big one, right?  Enough to run 2 grills?  Should be adequate...  -Aftermath

Better take your white board for your crunch the numbers presentation.  &)

Have a GREAT time MN.  WI had a CTN meeting in January and it was great fun AND we got a lot of planning done. 8)

O'ha!  What a coincidence!  I just recently aquired a white board....  --Aftermath

Bringing multiple plates, utensils, a couple of liters of pop and some extra chips.

Is there a dress code?   Shooting jackets, yes or no?  Camo?  Gadsden items?  Incognito or outright plain and simple?

Realize, of course, that I may or may not log in to see a response...     ::)

Well, it has been done. As far as I am concerned the picnic was a resounding success. We had enough food for double the capacity of picnickers, clear skies (albeit a cool fall day,) and great fellowship. I am sure that a more official recap or an AAR will follow. I think that Minnesota emerged with a much clearer plan to proceed into 2011.

It was great to meet everyone and to see the future of Appleseed in MN take shape.

A few pics from the MN Appleseed Muster Picnic.

As I helped Kevin pack up after the picnic, I thought he pointed to a pasta salad as belonging to him. When we got down to his truck, he told me it wasn't his. So, I have your salad bowl and serving spoon. PM me and I'll get it back to you.
