As is SOP, I don't know what I'm doing two days from now nevermind in a few months but it does sound like a great time! It's officially pencilled in. With a 2 day event the chances are better that I'd be able to make at least one.
While I'm only 20 minutes away from Bradley I'd hate to volunteer to chauffeur Justin to or from and then not be able to make it but I'll throw it out there as a possibility. As we get closer and plans firm up I'll reassess the situation.

Start time about 10ish.
The weather looks like its going to be good as well. Chance of T storms in the afternoon, but other than that good. Does anyone have any of those collapsable canopy things? I have one thinking we could set a few up and set/stand under them to avoid the sun.

As it would figure, Saturday is a bear. Working in the morning, daughter's dance recital mid-day and the East Side (German) Restaurant with it's liter glasses for early Father's Day dinner with my family and in-laws. If I'm in any condition to drive I'll give Hattie a call to see if anyone is still hanging around.
If anyone is overnighting, let us know. I've got Father's Day plans for later in the afternoon but might be up for a drive Sunday morning.

Looks like we're in, total of four people.
Saw the 10ish start time - any clue how long things will be goin' on? Also - any food options for us non-dead-critter eating type folks? Much obliged!

Well on the food thing I figured we would play it by ear. I'm going to try to get up early and scout the location. Supposidly their is a very good and reasonable priced diner right down the street. So you vegiterians can get pancakes or something.
Unless people bring stuff.
