Ice for the snow cone machine or to keep cold items chilled would be great Chris. The old fridge is busting at the seams.....LOL

 

[caychris]

Ok Ill be sure to bring a the big chest full. You are going to PM the location since Ive never been

 

[WendyJeepchick]

I'll bring a chest with ice too.

 

[sewandgrow]

Good deal Wendy........Thanks

 

[PetRock]

I just bought 75 name tags at Winco. Is that enough, Karen?

 

[sewandgrow]

I wish I knew.............LOL I was so good in the very beginning & keep a good record then the rsvp were really sporadic after that & I lost count but think somewhere between 50 & 70..............?????????????
I just finished stripping & pulling apart 15 Costco rotisserie chickens I put all the cleaned meat in giant zip locks & put it in the freezer. The morning of it will all go into my big turkey roaster to be keep warm. We are having a Chicken taco/burrito bar. I'll have lemonade, ice tea & ice water. I think with everything everyone else is bringing we will be fine.
I hope everyone remembers to have their kids bring towels & swim suits. I think it may be hot. It sure has been the last 2 days.

I have a couple of folding tables from Costco. Let me know if you want me to bring one or both.

 

[sewandgrow]

Thanks..............If you have room Wendy you could bring them as back up. I do not have a good sense of how many I need yet until I actually get set up. Many people are bringing raffle prizes with them & I don't know what surface room the demonstrators will need for their demos.
