Don, good idea.

So, here's the thread. Everyone, feel free to jump in - not limited to Minnesota. Ole, Lena, Sven - you're all welcome. You too, T2.

Cheers,

David

Just give me as much notice as you can, if you are going to gather.  If not tied up with dr appointments or deer hunting November 4-15 I can be in twin city area
In 6-7 hours.

November sounds good - nice time to be on the deck and cooking. What do you all think?

It's a shame that I am too far away, and have commitments that prevent me from attending your gathering.  I'd love to meet you chaps and share lies... stories about cooking.

You gents should have some kind of logo to celebrate your event - how about some kind of logo contest just for fun?  I'm no designer, and certainly have very little talent, but maybe this will kick start the creative juices:

Stillwater is a great little town - lots of interesting shops and antiques. Great food as well. Maybe we should meet there.

David, I think the first 1/2 of October is a good time frame... I would love to see it work out so TEE's can be there (I'm not trying to railroad &/or ramrod anything here, just sayin').  Also, from true personal experience, I don't trust the roads anytime after October 21st (having spent a month one weekend in Alexandria, MN about 30 years ago. :o )

That would be Hudson, WI.  Lived their for a few years. My city is 15 minutes away.  We go to Hudson on Sunday for booze.....no bueno in Minnesota

Can do Dave! Or - if there is an opportunity of a bunch getting to together.....?

Pap - New Richmond...you were close! :D

Pappy, you are right - the WI side is Hudson. But we like Stillwater - often a good street fair happening.

Although (at the risk of derailing all of this) I am a Packers fan and shareholder. I grew up in ND - no team so we get to choose anyone. Been a Packer fan all my life. Then lived in Racine for 10 years and became a shareholder.

Don, early October is great - I understand the driving challenges later.

T2 - when will you be here? We can meet in Stillwater / Hudson. Or if you want to drive about 30  minutes further, we can meet on my deck. I would enjoy meeting a bunch of you.

Trying to work out the dates ASAP. Maybe we can firm them up within the next couple of days. I have to look at everyone's vacation schedules, and any critical or time sensitive stuff....Then I can stick a pin in the dates.

Would love to make it up to this.  We actually buy our BBQ sauce in Brines Store in Stillwater.
