Last group

In addition to these photos, MikeinMo has some in the original thread near the end. Be sure to check those out as well.
First, Jay (woodman928) plays the Wabash Cannonball on this yet to be finished street organ. This one has been in progress more than 4 years with 400+ parts!
Second, cigar pens, what else!
Third, these guests were not counted in the 49 registered guests from six states! As we left, six doe and six fawns showed up for the picnic!
Whew, it was a lot of fun!

The caption under Jeff Farris' picture should be, "This skew is so scary sharp, watch this!"

Looks like a super event. Sorry I missed. We actually drove within a few miles of the location on our way home from Colorado. But, we had spent about 20 hours on the road between that day and the previous day. We were butt weary and anxious to get home. Next time....

Actually talked about trying to make the picnic, but 400+ miles for a free meal seemed a little extreme, even for me.

Looks like lots of fun and wish I could have been there.

Well, generally I would agree with you about the meal but we're talking "Smokin in the Dark" BBQ meals here. There's a world of difference! :biggrin:
Maybe next time for you and Frank both. Thanks for your interest.

Sorry I missed this year but I am planning on attending the next one. It sounds like a great time.

I've got you on our list in case we have another weak moment and decide to do this again sometime.

We took a picture of the same deer on the way out. They didn't make into the linked album though. There were four more at the bottom of the hill from these seven, and two of them were fawns also (just a bit older with fading spots).

Fred: Looks like everyone had a great time and had a great feast. Be sure to put us on the list for next year and if you happen to know of a date for next years picnic please let me know a.s.a.p. so I can put it down for vacation at work.

Hi Fred,
I've got you on my list. The planning team has not gotten back together to discuss another date yet. Those decisions are best made after you have rested!:biggrin:
