Carlisle Picnic Saturday June 7th

[HammerDown]

Hi All,

As in the past few years, we have had a great picnic/BBQ on Saturday. It's somewhat of a "potluck" theme, so bring what you like to eat and drink--if you want to bring a little extra to share, great, but NOT necessary.

We'll start with this: Jack and I will have a couple grills for cooking the hot stuff and we already have the supply of paper goods that we'll need (plates, cups, utensils, napkins, paper towels etc.)

So,,, post up what you will bring. If anyone has large coolers they can bring with ice, that will be great for the drinks..


Items being brought according to posts as of June 5th:

1 coleman 2-burner stove
2 cooking grills
Cooking Utensils

Paper goods for 100+ people (plates, utensils, cups, napkins)

60 hamburgers, buns & cheese slices
90 hot dogs & buns
kielbasa w/ rolls
chicken
ketchup, mustard, relish
pickles, olives
baked beans
black bean salad
potato salad
soft pretzels
chips, corn chips
cookies
brownies
salted peanut chews

3 large coolers w/ ice & assorted soft drinks & bottled water
2 gallons Sangria
iced tea
beer -- 3 cases
wine
diet soda -- 1 case
Land Shark Ale

6 canopies
6 tablecloths

[Ms. Denmark]

[Marauder_Santa]

I can bring chips.

[jsignorelli]

As always... I am bringing the two gallons of my Sangria.

I can also bring what ever supplies we need. I have a membership card to Restaurant Depot Just email me a wish list.

[Bluerauder]

Here's the plan like last year, I will bring .....

2 boxes of Bubba burgers (16 patties) + Kraft Cheese singles
2 packs of Hotdogs (16 dogs)
Buns for the above
Cooler with Ice
4 - 12 packs of soft drinks (mixed)
1 - Case of water

[Ms. Denmark]

:beer: :beer: :beer: Sangria!

[Mr. Man]

As always... I am bringing the two gallons of my Sangria.

I can also bring what ever supplies we need. I have a membership card to Restaurant Depot Just email me a wish list.
Better bring an extra gallon for the seating area, 'cause the tables were waaaay over there last year.;):D

[jsignorelli]

How about a 50 foot straw? Wait... aerial spraying of the hill with the Sangria. Just face the nozzle, open your mouth, and get your wine! Who said we need an engineer to solve a problem?

:bump: Based on Poll and Registration numbers so far, I estimate that we may have close to 75-100 people on the hill this year. :D

This year we voted and you are to be the official waiter at this years BBQ.

The "Circle of Sangria" doesn't like to wait, so be snappy :cool:

Three days prior when the final head count is in, I will place an order for Philly soft pretzels for all (2 each) and pick up @ 0600 am on Saturday morning fresh out of the oven, to include mustards, and head out to the show field from there. ETA 0930-1000 AM. See you there.

[P71]

We'll bring a large cooler with ice, soft drinks and water. If anything else is needed, we'll check with Connie the day before and we'll pick it up on our way to the fairgrounds.

Hi All!

I'll bring baked beans with cooking containers & a can opener.
I'll also bring olives, pickles & corn chips!

Today I start doing my anti-rain dance for our weekend.
Let's hope it works! (Oops did I use the four-letter R word?)

See ya soon!

[WhatsUpDOHC]

I'll bring the stromboli.

I can bring Ice / Ice Tea / Potato Salad /:D/

[Bigdogjim]

I will bring an appetite...................:lo l:

I will check the list and think of something.

[N40GL]

Is a whole boatload of Land Shark Ale sufficient? (I'm thinking two cases, sort of). I've been advised to 86 my plan to order pizzas, so it sounds like a visit to Costco for a big pack of hot dogs is in order.

[Bigdogjim]

^^^ don't forget rolls:)

[Bluerauder]

So far, only about 1/4 of the attendees have checked in on the picnic sign-up out of 44 definite YES and Registered members. Still waiting to hear from 15 of the regular suspects on attendance. This might be a record year for MM.Net attendance at the 2014 Carlisle "All Ford Nationals".

Please check the list in Post #1 and bring what you can to contribute to the Saturday picnic. That is the biggest attendance day..... lots of hungry mouths to feed. :)

[DWSTANG67]

I can bring whatever we need just let me know, also if you need help setting up and cooking I do my part to help out in every way.

I was thinking if i can get a good size crock pot and we have electrical power i can make my famous Hawaiian Kielbasa treat

If I recall there is no power from the event people but if someone has a generator that is reasonably quiet maybe they could bring it along for heating up that sort of stuff.

[DWSTANG67]

They did have that food stand we may be able to run a cord from

[Bigdogjim]

I have a plug that goes into the power point of the car and turns that into 110 volts enough to run a coffee maker:)

[DWSTANG67]

Cool I think I may have an inverter also

Or I could cook it in crockpot at hotel and reheat in a pot on one of the grills

[Ms. Denmark]

_____________________

[Bigdogjim]

Also, we need music! Anybody got an idea how we can get power for that?

Please read post #28:)

[Mr. Man]

Pleas read post #28:)

OK! Now we need a boombox or ?

[Bigdogjim]

Hate to break it to you but "boombox" is so 80's:lol:

I hope your not bringing your disco collection:eek:

[Bigdogjim]

OH I will bring a case of beer and diet soda, more stuff when I think of something:)

[Haggis]

Also, we need music! Anybody got an idea how we can get power for that?

we have cars, cars have radios, we have music.

[Mebot]

I'm sure the Mebot/yimma clan will be bringing some kind of edible or potable quaffs

[jimbok1951]

I have a newer style "boom box" digital tuner & plays cd's, works on 110 volts or D batteries and has real good sound if you want me to bring. Let me know.

Oh Hell YES....I do! :banana: ~Ms D

[jsignorelli]

I have 14,000 tunes on the Ipod connected to my sound system. I also have every Marvel DVD. We can sit in the car and either chill to music or watch the movies, in stereo sound of course.

As you can guess, I didn't stop the mods at just the engine compartment!

[cat in the hat]

Haven't been on here since last fall. Is it too late to register for Carlisle ?

[maineiac]

I think you register day of show.

Less than two weeks to go, check Post #1 for update since May 23rd for bbq items

[Mr. Man]

Looks like we cold use more meat products.

[MyTMerc]

Diane and I are coming and will bring some food like substance for our fellow carnivores. I don't think I saw chicken on the list. We'll pick some up and some other side dish.

We have to leave late Saturday afternoon for a Leukemia charity event my daughter is sponsoring in Baltimore we are looking forward to Friday and most of Saturday at Marauder Hill.

[Papillon]

Paul and I will make our usual run to Walmart on Friday night to grab some drinks, something sweet (perhaps brownies) and, depending on whether ot not there's a fridge in the hotel room, perhaps some hotdogs and buns.

See y'all in a couple weeks.

[MM03MOK]

:woohoo:

Can't wait!

I ordered eight tables and they'll be delivered to the tent on Friday. Should that be in enough time?

[Bluerauder]

:woohoo:

Should not be a problem. We have had tables delivered early Friday afternoon before. Biggest need for tables is on Saturday to cook, sort and stack the food and drink items. Trophies, raffle items and T-Shirts also needed tables.

Wow eight (8) tables !!! I thought that we usual got by with 4-6 tables before. Hope we get a big tent 20 x 40 this year.

[MM03MOK]

Charlie, I was told there were 7 tables last year. If we don't need them all, we can tuck it away. I'd rather have more than less.

[Bluerauder]

Could be .... Paul, Voula, or Paula would know for sure. You're right, more is better.

[Mr. Man]

We were cramped with what we had last year which was 5 or 6 I believe so like Blue said more is better and will give us a better chance to organize food related vs. non-food related.

[jimbok1951]

Just so I know, want me to bring my boom box. I will put in fresh batteries if so.

Thanks

[jimbok1951]

Ok, will gladly bring it. Is anyone bringing the famous "Bean salad" ?

[Bluerauder]

Ok, will gladly bring it. Is anyone bringing the famous "Bean salad" ?

Jay (jabird56) and Denise (Ms. Tweety) have moved to Florida. They are not attending Carlisle this year. Unless someone else makes it, the answer is probably NO.

The bean salad recipe is here >>>> http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?t=71616&highlight=bean

[WhatsUpDOHC]

I'll switch from Stromboli to the bean salad.

[HammerDown]

From past experience, YES, more tables is better.

[maineiac]

I'll get some smoked sausage at Schmidts in Harrisburg Fri .

[Ms. Denmark]

I will bring the Salted Peanut Chews ala` Mrs. Tweety (Denise.) Found that recipe. They were a big hit at Carlisle and also at the NH meet. Denise and Jay can't make it though....:(

Looks like we could use some more hamburgers; we'll bring some more

Post #1 with list is updated at May 28th............

I think that we'll have enough tables. What we need is more hamburgers and hotdogs (and buns to match) to feed the masses. This was a lesson from 2012 and 2013 as I recall.

[jsignorelli]

I'll help cook. Do we need more BBQ tongs, forks, and spatulas ? I can bring mine.

[DWSTANG67]

I always available to help out

[Mr. Man]

I was thinking if anyone has a Coleman stove or another grille for heating up beans, or trays of yummy digestibles they might want to bring it along. Two grilles might not be enough.

[lji372]

I'm getting excited and not even going :banana2:

Available to man a grill if needed & experienced. Nothing blackened unless you request it that way. I will be in the bullpen.

And Fatjack (my Brother) will be available & also an experienced grill master.

[MyTMerc]

Just picked up a 10x10 instant pop up canopy for shade and potential r word protection. Do they have any issues with personal canopy's?

No problem. Five people have already indicated that they are also bringing pop-up tents. You are number 6. :up:

[jsignorelli]

I have a two burner Coleman stove. I'll bring it with the hose tower and 11 lb Propane tank. I'm a scout leader... we have these toys!

Yes, your Dad's was counted in the 6 based on your earlier response in the Packing List thread.

[N40GL]

I can cook as well. Based on what I heard via PMs, I'm dropping my offer to bring hot dogs and buns, and bringing three and a half cases of Land Shark Ale (currently sitting on a table in my basement, causing it to bow). :beer:

I've got a reasonably good Bluetooth speaker that can pair to a phone playing SiriusXM (the speaker can run off an inverter). If I can find my inverter I'll bring that as well. (I wouldn't recommend using any extension cords with the inverters - the added resistance caused by the extra wire just runs down the battery that feeds the inverter more quickly.)

We can also freak out everybody nearby, by firing up all the speakers that can play SiriusXM and listening to them all slightly out of sync. :banghead:

Plus 2 pans of Salted Peanut Chews. (Mrs. Tweety) aka Jabird's wife Denise's recipe) :)

[jsignorelli]

I can't really function without coffee so I'm bringing a coffee pot, sugar, sweet-n-low, and milk . The pot works great on my Coleman stove. I told you that I was a Boy Scout leader. Camping without coffee........unthinkable!

Sorry but the dark roast star bucks and half-n-half is not in y cards. I had already purchased the coffee (Maxwell House dark roast and the Parmalot milk) a few days ago.
If you insist on your Star Bucks, you can make a pot of it for yourself. Way too strong for me.

Sissy! :D A trip to Starbucks is always my first stop on the way to the showfield. See you soon!
Yes at Starbucks ,They Sell Legal Narcotics >>'Wake up Call', see yall there':)

[jsignorelli]

Every time I have had a Starbucks coffee, I have burned the roof of my mouth. If they sell it cooler, does it cost less? The money I save can be used for the Emergency Room visit.

And then there is the other effect Starbucks has on me. It acts like that glop you drink before a lower GI series.......... plop plop, fizz, fizz!

[WhatsUpDOHC]

Just occurred to me - do we have forks, knives, spoons? Just re-read this thread and didn't see any.

I'm bringing a set.

[DEFYANT]

I'll be stopping off at the store on the way in to grab a few things. Several members have my number. Call if there are any last minute things we need.

[jsignorelli]

Joanne & I had a great time today. We saw old friends and met some new.

Just and FYI for next year. I have packed the hoses with the tower which connects to my 11 lb Propane tank. Next year, we can run the Coleman stove and both gas grills off of the big tank.

"I forgot the hoses when I packed this year". Can't happen next year, as they are now in the same box.

Hi All!

Want to thank everyone who helped with this year's BBQ. The "cookers"--Shaun, Mary, Jim K., Jack K., Dean; the "line preppers" Chris H., Pam W., & Jack B.; and everyone who contributed the FOOD & DRINKS!!. Special thanks to Jim S. with the Coleman stove--two extra burners were a big help. Another special thanks to Voula who helped with set up and clean up; and several others that helped with the clean-up--much appreciated!!!!

We all appreciated the extra shade provided by those that brought their canopies.

Thanks again, everyone!!!!!

[Ms. Denmark]

Connie (Hammerdown) did a phenomenal job of coordinating the cookout this year.

Connie (Hammerdown) did a phenomenal job of coordinating the cookout this year. Everyone I spoke with said so. Thank you, Connie, for making it all work so the members could enjoy a great meal! And thanks to everyone who did the setup, cooking and cleanup. Your efforts were very much appreciated!! BTW several people told me the food everyone brought and the variety of foods was the best ever! Sangria was just the beginning. :D

I have to concur ^^^^^^

[WhatsUpDOHC]

Yes, thanks to everyone who made it a great meet and a very memorable day.

[MyTMerc]

What a great couple of days. We had to cut our day short on Saturday due to another event but we had a really nice time. Good food, drink, cars a bunch and great people.... What's not to like!

As with most car events, it took a bunch of folks pitching in to make it fun. Thanks to all the participants, organizers and congratulations to all those that took home well deserved recognition of their awesome Marauders.

[J-MAN]

That's because they burn it when roasting. Those that drink kiddie koffee (loaded with milk and sugar) or some other fru-fru drink can't tell the difference.

[Bigdogjim]

I will attempt to make the show next year and I will bring the ants....:laugh:
