About the 1st of Sept, I will start putting together a list of those that intend to come. As far as food, we will have pulled pork bbq with buns to put it on, maybe some hotdogs for the grill, and then we will have people sign up to bring stuff like potato salad, baked beans, chips, Brunswick stew etc. Desserts (cookies, brownies and other finger foods)
We will have a 5 gal cooler of lemonade, a stock of soft drinks, ice water, etc.
we have already acquired plates, bowls, plastic silverware, cups, napkins, table cloths, etc. We can also supply condiments such as ketchup, mustard, relish, etc.
We'll need some help with the requisite iced tea as we're northerners and don't do tea. So maybe a several people can bring a jug or two of that.
As stated in the first post (where I will continue to add details) this is going to be an non alcoholic event but there will be plenty of assorted beverages to keep people hydrated.
Some activities I envision:
Primary activity will be the opportunity for people to cut with brands, models and types of saws and chains they are unfamiliar with.
Opportunity to run modded saws
Eating
Getting a chance to meet people you only know from the internet.
Buying and selling chainsaws. (Georgia sales tax will need to be collected) Ok, not really.
People may have an opportunity to learn chain sharpening techniques
I have an Alaskan mill and some may enjoy giving that a try (it's not all that fun...)
Glider rides and perhaps airplane rides will be available
(This event will be held at a grass airstrip)
We have about half a dozen planes here that may be of interest for some to look at (2 flyable, 4 projects)
There may be chainsaw races if someone can come up with some cants.
Did I mention eating?
