So, I still possess the old stuff like raffle tickets, the sign-in book, some random things that don't really matter (cups, plastic utensils, etc). And yes we should do the raffle. It always worked best when you only bring 1 (one) item for the table, get a ticket, and we'll have someone pull from a hat. It's always fun. You can put any item in you like (not too expensive) maybe chicken/farm related. The more people the merrier!

I have contacted a few old members that don't post often and let them know. Do the same if you know anyone missing in action. Invite friends that have similar interests in chickens or farming. Let them know about the raffle (one item for the table).

It's a potluck so bring what you will. There's never been too much.

I've been bringing chocolate cake (the regular kind!) but seems like two cakes is a bit much. Maybe I'll do something else this year. Cucumber salad? German potato salad (the only kind!)? Ideas?

With avian influenza an issue again, are we going to have/allow people to bring in chickens to sell/swap?

 

[Folly's place]

Too soon to know, but it might be an issue. Maybe only requested birds? Another two months before then.

One of the gals I told (an old member that never posts) said she wanted to bring some birds home. That's if she even attends. If AI becomes an issue I'll let her, and others know.

Hello, everyone! Sorry for the loooooong delay. I have updates! @Folly's place did you decide on the cucumber salad or German potato salad yet?

Here is what I have so far for who is bringing what and what we still need!

 

[Chickin Fairy]

I agree with @uchytil Everyone, please bring 1 item for raffling off! Nothing too expensive and please make it farm/chicken related. That's a great idea! I will bring music. Is anyone doing hotdogs or burgers? I can handle bringing buns, pickles, condiments for that.

I haven't decided what I'll be making, yet. Possibly a fruit/veg/cheese tray.
