2014 Hunt-WA Summer BBQ!!! July 26-27!!
« on: April 07, 2014, 11:49:31 AM »
It's that time of year again!!  Last year April and I had a blast having all of you over for a bbq, and we want to do it again this year.  Hopefully most of you had a good time as well, and we can make this year's get together just as great of a time!  For those that didn't attend or know about last year's bbq, you can catch up here...

http://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,120013.0.html


I will be updating this post as things get settled, but for now here's what we have in mind...

When: July 26-27.

Where:  Outside Granite Falls, WA. 

The Plan:  Potluck-style bbq, same as last year.  It goes without saying, but any wild game and homegrown veggies are a huge plus!  Family-friendly, so bring spouses/significant others and kids! 

Other stuff: 
  There will be an archery range available, and I will have archery tic-tac-toe, archery poker, and "Dartchery" (darts, but with bows and a big@$$ dartboard) ready to go. 
  There will be horseshoes just like last year as well. 
  There will be a campfire after dark in the evening, so bring lawn chairs!  Anyone wanting to stay overnight is welcome, I can put up a few folks on couches and floors and there is plenty of room for tents outside.  If you have an RV, shoot me a pm and we can make arrangements for that as well.
  I'm hoping to be able to have a small .22 rifle range available, since I think that would be fun (especially for the youngsters!), but I'm not sure if I'll be able to pull that off or not yet so stay tuned..... 
  We should have the "petting zoo" open for the youngsters, maybe the chickens could cooperate again and leave some eggs for the kids to find. 
 
 

I'm sure I'll be adding to this list as this thread progresses, maybe we can get some prizes for horseshoes or the archery range...?  Maybe another calling lesson from Rick?  Keg toss again? 

So far, that's what I've got.  Okay, who's in?!?!!   :tup: :IBCOOL:   :hello:

Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”

That is awesome you are offering up your amazing place and hospitality again Fishstiq! :) I'm sure we'll be coming. It was an event NOT to miss last year, so so many members attending, very fun.

I believe I'm also good for the proposed dates.  I'll change up my wild game offering to the potluck this year.  Not sure what yet... 

As for the He-Man games I can bring the keg back if you guys have been refining your technique since last year.  I think we all needed to work on our tosses.

Any suggestions for further contests? 

Here's a couple to consider...

Axe throwing???

Apple Pie (the drink) contest?  We need a judge that's ready to be a happy person after sampling everyones efforts.

Fire Walking? (I beleive there were a couple of you at the last get together that were lubed up enuf to try this)

Arm Wrestling?

I think I remember Buckmark was going to bring livestock for something last year?



Anyhow, this was meant to get your creative juices flowing....

Axe throwing would be very good.
