This is a Pitch-in, meaning everyone should bring at least one side-dish. A good rule of thumb is to prepare at least enough to feed 1.5 times the number in your party/family. (ie. if there are 10 people in your party/group/family your side dishes should be enough for about 15 people.
Single/coming alone? If making a side dish is impractical just pick up a bucket of chicken or toss a contribution in the donation jar.
EVERYONE BRING ICE: no such thing as too much ice.
It melts you know.
What we already have: (We are good on meats! We need side dishes.) UPDATES ARE IN RED.
Burgers, all beef hot dogs, brats, Kickapoo Joy Juice, Charcoal, Potato Salad, bottledd water. meatballs, greens with turkey necks and greens with no meat, red velvet cake, banana pudding cake, apple snicker salad, corn on the cob, and Mac and cheese
We’ve got paper & plastics taken care of (plates, cups, utensils, napkins, paper towels), also trash bags & hand sanitizers.
What we still need:
- buns (hot dog & burger), fixins’ (burger & dog) condiments & lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, peppers, mayo, mustard, catsup, hot sauce
- popsicles, bottled water (it’d be great if along with a bag of ice everyone brought a gallon of drinking water)
- Soda sweetened and unsweetened ice tea
,lemonade, juice. - chips & tortilla chips (spinach & French onion dip and salsa), pretzels, peanuts.
- mac& chees,
- potato salad,
- summer salad or cucumber salad,
- corn (?),
- Green Beans,
- Veggie and/or fruit trays
- casseroles (?),
- your call (?)
- 2-3 small watermelons (chill one beginning the night before, we’ll through the other two in ice when you get there.)
- DESSERTS: wherever possible diabetic desserts.
You are not limited to what's on this list and more than one person can bring the same dish.
Everyone bring some ICE, seriously EVERYONE bring at least one bag. We will be out there all day and will need to replenish melted ice all day. You can get bags of ice at the drive thru window at McDonald’s. It would also help to freeze some gallon jugs or 2 liter bottles of water.
Wanted to bring something already on the menu? That's fine duplication means we’re sure to have enough of it.
Its time to tell us what your bringing and how many people. You can do so at the Facebook Event page on any comment thread.
The event page, not the group page! (link below)
As the picnic approaches I I will consolidate and update the above list daily. Updates will be in red. So check back here.
