Reason I am asking is that is the weekend for Qfest. We made plans and announced that we will be going a few months ago. I don't want to renig on attending, but would hate to miss the lake pleasant event. In fact I would like to help as much as i am able with the event. One of things being to get word around in the white mountain area.

When you get that old, you need a full weekend to celebrate

Maybe we can get a collection for a B-day gift to CS. I kinda thinking maybe a pony keg strapped to a rascal scooter!!

Bear,
I am so very sorry about the timing of the event. I would really love having you there, the only problem is we only had a very limited number of weeks that would work and this one was the only one that would work for the lake and us. I really hope you can talk up this event in the White Mountains too it would mean the world to me. I can't even express how I wish you could be at this event! I understand you had a prior commitment and wouldn't ever ask you to change that, I just wish things could work out better.
Thanks again
Devil Daddy

 It's all good. There will be plenty events, or for that matter, non-events for us to hang out, BS, bbq, etc. I'll be happy to do what I can to help out aside from being there.
 When this event is done. It will be time to start planning the spring fund raising cook off!!
 No worries bro, That's what we are here for. To help lighten the load.

If you are making money buy selling Q Brisket and Pulled Pork are great items The Public loves Spare ribs
Chicken is a real test of the cooks abilite.

I will be happy to donate for helping get what is needed forbeing able to vend. Maybe have one cooker set up justy for vending by the foundation. That will make the public happier if they have a booth they can go to, to buy some bbq to eat after walking around and smelling it. In fact I will donate use of my pit and trailer for that as well.

Count me in as a tentative.  Being so far out, I am hoping all will be OK.  It falls right in between my hunts  .  How much space is available for camping?

[Mike (AZBarbeque)]

Dave, we reserved you a prime spot, right next to the septic tank so if the BBQ gets to you, you are within range...     

[thegig]

Ha Ha, just as long as you are there to hold my hand.

P.S. I meant time..so far out in time.  Smart A$$
