Title: Your invitation to the Fall Cookout
Post by: Jaxon on August 04, 2015, 09:43:57 PM
We are in discussions about said gathering already.  Don Bremer (IR2DUM)will be rolling through here either 1st or 2nd Friday in October (those dates may be negotiable).
We are planning a cookout when he comes just like we did last Spring.
We have lodging just minutes from here, along with 3 grocery stores.  Lowes, Home Depot, and Academic Sports are close by.
We are about 90 minutes south of Atlanta airport with a regional airport about 12 miles away (Macon Regional).
Along with the offset smoker, we have 2 Weber kettles, an Akorn, the "argentine"  grill, a barrel cooker, and a 40" Masterbuilt - point is, you can cook what you want to on any of this.  We have enough chairs for everybody to sit in...inside or out...on the patio or in the yard.
We can start on Thursday or Friday and go through Sunday afternoon. You don't have to commit to the whole thing - if you wanna come for a day, that's fine or for the whole thing - no extra charge  ;-).
Consider this YOUR invitation to our Fall Cookout.  It will be a great time for food and fellowship.
I KNOW y'all wanna be here, go ahead and check your calendars and lemme know.
The clock starts...NOW!

We could sleep in Academy Sports.  They got hammocks, cots, sleepin' bags and such.  Can't you arrange that?  Dee

My next door neighbor has indoor plumbing if that's an issue.

David, it's time you to get ready to head south.

Yes it is - time I head south - indoor plumbing not a big deal... Just as long as the dates don't conflict with my major tradeshow, I will be there. I have to see Backyard Jack in action!

Action Jack - October 18 - 23. I am NOT asking you to modify anything for me, but if it works, that would be most excellent! And YES, they are boring, but they are also the best time for me to find new clients...

Okay...one piece of the puzzle in place...DRHolly wants to reserve October 9th - 11th as the dates for the Cookout with Bremer as we'll call it.

So, adjust you're calendars folks...we're gonna throw it down on Oct 9th.

Smoke and the rest of the left coast crew, get your heads together on how to get here.  You will remember this event for a long time - not because of me, but because of all the wonderful people you'll meet.  Our home is humble, but available - nothing extra, but made special because of the folks who visit us.

If you are looking for accommodations, search for Byron and/or Warner Robins GA we are directly between the two.  May I suggest Holiday Inn Express North West or Hampton Inn - both are less than 8 minutes from here.  The Holiday Inn & Suites in Byron is just off I-75 and almost the same distance to out house.  Google will give you a long list. Just try to get out close to the 3100 block on Watson Blvd.

B T W, Albert & Sylvia will be coming in on Thursday, the 8th for a little extra action...If you wanna get here on Thursday, lemme know so we can buy some more weenies  ;)

Stay tuned for further developments...

We will love to see y'all again. 
Leave Ohio and go straight down I-75. 
Google Holiday Inn & Suites in Byron...should have pretty good rates and it's close.

Don, you've been here before....I'll save you that grassy spot in the backyard near the outhouse and we can run the water hose out there if you need it.

Just sayin'..

I can vouch for Maci.  She is a GEM, and will bring many smiles to your face!



As far as coming down, I'll have to see what's happening with the high school band/football schedule once you have the dates set.

We have scheduled the cookout for Friday, October 9th and 10th.  Some will be here on the 8th...some may stay until the 11th.

"Doc" (Don) will be here on Friday along with Maci (hopefully).

Waiting to here from DRHolly and Lucy's staff.

Actually, waiting to hear from a lot more.
Just sayin'...

ONE WEEK TO GO!

We are forevermore excited about the response to the Cookout with Bremer.  I don't know who is traveling the farthest - IR2DUM or DRHolly (not a real dr) - but they will be here along with a host of good cooks and liars from our forum.
I'm waiting to hear from Flaming Skull BBQ, in the McDonough, GA area.  That would be DWard51.

We'll be sharing brisket, BB ribs, wings, butts, sausage, and shrimp.  I'm sure there will be some side dishes as well.
This event is open to everyone in a family-friendly environment.  I know of 4 ladies who will attend.
If you have any questions, please go ahead and send me a message.

just waitin'...

Didn't you promise that one of them will be the new Miss America from Warner-Robbins? If she can't make it, not to worry. Deb is just as pretty.

Actually, I thought we were on her schedule as Miss Georgia, but then she won Miss America and her schedule completely changed.

Miss Muirfield Lane will definitely be here.
