OVAS Annual BBQ Pig Roast!

[FishBuddy]

If someone has a costco membership, we could always use a nice big bag of buns to go with the pork!

I also added an update on the activities.  Keep checking back as things are getting finalized this week.

I'll be there as well.  Perhaps will be bringing a 10 year old.  I have a Costco membership so I could pick up some buns for the roast pork.  How many do we need?  Just a ballpark figure would be fine.

Hi, so my wife and I are just getting into the hobby and figure that coming out to the roast is a good way to introduce ourselves to the club.

We just bought a second hand 250 gallon tank and will probably start to fill it with salt water some time next year. The floor needs to be reinforced first.

We will be bringing apple crisp/cobbler. We assume there are going to be plastic plates and forks available to eat it with.

Looking forward to meeting you all.

I'll update the details of the BBQ but we've added some fun features!

Urban Static, a local band will be playing a few sets for us starting at 1pm until the pig is ready to eat.  Perhaps you'll recognize one of the band members!!

We'll also be joined by Bunky the Clown for some Face Painting and Balloon Animals from 11am - 12:30pm!  After everyone has their face painted and their balloon animal, Bunky is also willing to draw some caricatures for anyone who wants them.  They'll be $5 each person!

Don't forget that this is a pot luck, so if you intend to bring something please indicate what you're bringing on this thread.
