Event Description
Our annual escape from Superbowl Madness. It will be our usual set-up .... wine, food, companionship (bring the wine and bring or buy the wood). Also, musical instruments are welcome, and maybe we can jam a little.
Friday night is pizza night ... bring your little Coleman camp ovens or use ours, and make and bake an 8" pizza. (You provide ingredients, of course.)
We used to hold: the legendary 'Soup or Bowl' competition, featuring any dish that can be served in a bowl (soup, chili, or whatever). But the people who ran that event have moved away. We can still do the "Soup or Bowl" as a potluck. Or some volunteer wants to step up and run it. Let me know what y'all want to do.
Party Central will be spot #4. As usual, it will be rain or shine, and if it's rainy, the Tent of Doom and the Annex of Despair will help keep us all dry.
Three more things: Be aware that there are wild critters (raccoons, feral cats, etc.) that will go into any open camper that you're not around. So be sure to keep your doors closed.
Second, Brett made a little video about what kind of adapter you need if you want to use the AC outlets that are at every site (at no additional charge). Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOF7aCUfwZ0
Third, the Solano County Parks reservation system is now reservation only, and the registration window closes two weeks before the event. So get your reservation in early!

Still some time left for those who want to join us. As for the contest, there are still no volunteers to run it, so I figure we'll just have a pot-luck.

Welp. In years past, folks would bring a soup or chili or stew or something to be used with a bowl. A judged contest determined a 1, 2, 3, place ribbon along with "fabulous prizes". Recently, the contest portion has subsided and we ended up with a pot luck. Last year, the Soup-or-Bowl almost didn't happen for whatever reason(s). We had a , munchie madness, table of which folks brought finger foods , cheese plates, potatoes salad, chips, etc, for Saturday night, around 4 pm, due to available daylight. The event was an impromptu affair that was successful. So.. to echo John, perhaps we have a pot luck.
