We are busy planning this year’s Fall Party. It will be Saturday, September 30th. It will follow our established format, as it seems to work well. I have banquet tables and chairs reserved for rental, as we did last year. Meal seating seemed to work well with them and allowed trip hazard free space. You are free to bring lawn chairs, as previously done, to use in the yard and around the campfire for comfortable seating and relaxing conversations. The Egg Toss Championships will be held again this year, so practice up! Cheryl Peterson and Pat Stuart were last year's champions and will need to return the trophy.
The per person cost for the party will be $25 this year. Increased catering costs and the additional table and chair rental costs have added to our expenses so we need to raise the fee to cover them.
Arrival is anytime after 3:00. We are at 3122 Highway 61, not far from town, just past the Sweetland Feed Mill. Parking will be in the pasture behind the house. The man mansion is fully insulated and has a concrete floor. If you need handicap access, you can be dropped off and picked up right at the overhead door for an easy entry. The area is conducive for canes, walkers or wheelchairs. If you need someone to park or retrieve your vehicle after arrival at the access point we can have someone assist you with that.
Guy and A Grill will be catering our meal and it will be cooked onsite and we plan to begin service around 5:15. We will have your chop, chicken, or veggie burger sandwiches as indicated on your reservation. Sides will be baked beans, potato salad, and crisp. I'll be finalizing the crisp flavor soon. A s’mores station will be set up by the evening campfire, in the field. Plan to bring your own beverages, as usual, in a cooler. We will not be providing any beverages other than water, not bottled, on-site.
We are getting excited and we’ll see you in September.
