LOCATION MOVED TO HAMPTON, GEORGIA FOR THE ANNUAL GEORGIA FIEROS COOKOUT.
EVERYONE IS INVITED WHETHER OR NOT YOU ARE A MEMBER.
PLEASE EMAIL GEORGIAFIEROCLUB@GMAIL.COM SUBJECT: COOKOUT DIRECTIONS TO GET DIRECTIONS TO THE COOKOUT LOCATION AND TO ADVISE OF HOW MANY PERSONS IN YOUR PARTY AND WHAT DISH(ES) YOU WILL BRING.
As discussed at the meeting this past weekend, the annual club picnic will be held at our house again this year. This will take the place of the meeting at the Galaxy Diner on October 11th. We didn't discuss a time, but I'm thinking that everyone can start arriving around 11am if that works for everyone.
The club will once again furnish the hamburgers and hot dogs, and if everyone would bring something with them, that would be great. Shannon and I will furnish the drinks (we'll have several choices of soda (both diet and regular), sweet and unsweet tea and bottled water). We will also buy the ketchup, mustard, mayo relish and onions and utensils.
I'd like everyone would please post here and let us know if you'll be attending, as well as what you will be bringing. That will give me a headcount for how much meat to buy, as well as let us know what else we'll need or want based on what everyone is bringing.
I'd rather not put our address on here, so as you reply that you're attending, I'll PM you our address.
For those of you who didn't come last year, we live on a lake and have a dock out back, so feel free to bring your fishing poles and bait :). My son has caught some decent fish in the past. Also, please bring chairs to sit in. We have a few chairs out back, but not nearly enough for everyone.
AND.....Neither Shannon nor I cook on a grill, although we do have one (gas), so just like last year, someone is going to have to step up and volunteer to be the cook :).
Here are some ideas of what people brought last year:
Chips/dip
Cookies
Cake
Potato Salad
Macaroni Salad
Cole Slaw
Baked Beans
Mac & Cheese
Fruit/Veggie tray
Hot dog/hamburger buns
Here's our running list of who will attend and what we will have:
Hamburgers/Hot dogs - furnished by the club
Patty & Shannon (and possibly 4 guests) - Soda, tea, water, ketchup, mustard, mayo, relish, onions, utensils
Charlie & hopefully Melanie - Crockpot of chili (and blue canopy for shade)
Tim & Nancy - Big salad and dressings (and 10x10 canopy and a few chairs)
Ron & Susan (and 4 guests) - Baked beans and a dessert
Roger & Brenda - hot dog and hamburger buns, chips/dip, macaroni salad
Ron Scantlin (f85gtron) plus wife and 2 children - dessert
Don & Darrel - key lime pie, drinks

We can bring the blue canopy for shade and I'll also bring another crockpot of Mel's Famous Chili.

I plan to be there. I don't know if Melanie will be able to make it, but if possible, she'll be there, too.

Great, thank you! Hopefully she will be ok to make it, as well :).

Just asking...

We have met on several occasions at the Hooters on Washington Road, though. And several times in North Augusta and Aiken and even a couple times in Columbia.
Why don't you guys drive over here for the October cookout and we'll reciprocate with a meet out your way?

How about:
Yesterday Cafe
120 Fairplay St
Rutledge, GA 30663
Right next to Hard Labor Creek State Park. The buttermilk pie is worth the trip by itself.

I looked at Google and from Augusta to Atlanta Motor Speedway, which is just down the road from the cookout, taking I-20 to Conyers, then Ga. 20 down through McDonough to US 19/41 is 2.5 hrs. Staying Interstate all the way to the South side of I-285 then US 19/41 adds 15 minutes.
There's a great little BBQ place just south of I-20 on Hwy 22. Kind of a family owned antiques museum. Trucks, tractors, cannons, fire trucks, etc. Maybe we could drive down one weekend and meet you all over that way, but we'd still love to have you all join us for our cookout.

Missing from the scene is one of our hosts, Redraif who's inside preparing some dishes and Aerodon and Darrel who've not arrived yet, and me, behind the camera.
A great day with some great Fiero people, great food and a wonderful day enjoying it all. Thank you Shannon and Patty for again being such wonderful hosts.

I enjoyed meeting you all. Thanks for the hospitality.
Ron and family.

Thanks to all who contributed and all who made the loooong trip! I trust that everyone made it home without incident and all had a good time. It appears that we will have many aspiring Fiero owners in another 10-15 years or so!
Perhaps we can also have an inaugural Fiero Fishing Tournament there sometime?
Thank you again to everyone! 8)
