Kel
and I are going to bring two camp stoves and a folding table and also two ice chests one full of soda one full of water bottles and two dozen hot dogs. On top of that Kel wants to make chili also we have in transit 160 pairs of socks. Yeah!
We are working on others items news to come. I dont know if you saw Kels comment about doing a BBQ for people involved in socks and gloves to connect but we thought it might be better somewhere in the future not so close to a big event. let us know what you think.

Great job, Miguel & Kellie. Awesome. I think the BBQ idea is great, but as you said, maybe not so close to the event. Let's definitely do it sometime though. Sorry to not get back to you about this right away. Thanks for being willing to open up your home.

We have a bunch of plates and utensils and cups that we'll bring to serve the food on. I can also bring a table in order to set things up. It is 6 foot by 2 foot I believe, so it can easily act as headquarters for us.

Does anyone have a pop-up umbrella or covering?

Oh course I will be a chef also if my kids can stay out of the street and I may bring a few extra hot dogs and buns so we dont run out and that just about will tap me out. I will check the blog late Saturday and Early Sunday to see if I can fill any other needs.

and oh yeah we have a pop up cover we can bring. Its not the best but it might work if its not windy.....

I should mention too that the Rocket Man will be showing up. Well, maybe I should say Rocket Person in order to be PC.
