Black Owl Posted July 20, 2009 #1 Posted July 20, 2009 (edited) Well, we are 52 days away from the kick off of the 2009 Pork in the Pines Pig Roast, and except for the fact that we have a lower than anticipated pre-registration, everything is moving along smoothly. We have recruited a sponsor for breakfast Sunday morning. So, that means free breakfast on site Saturday and Sunday. As only 5 people responded to the question of having biscuits and gravy on the breakfast menu, the cook made an administrative decision and we will not be having biscuits and gravy. As much as I like biscuits and gravy I can't justify the effort or the expense. Nor could I see having biscuits and gravy available and having to tell folks that they were reserved for a select few. Big Bob has registered and we look forward to seeing him after his accident last year. Still no official word from Tessa (Tequila Pete), but we are keeping the faith and hoping he will be able to make it. Am checking to see if there is some way we can get a better handle on the flys this year. Will be checking with a local farm supply to see what they recommend. If all else fails, may have to recruit a few folks with shotguns.... Just another reminder that due to miserable economic conditions we are facing this year we have done away with a set registration fee and will be simply setting out a donation jar for those that feel they can make a small donation to help offset the expenses. So, if your Labor Day week-end, September 4 through 7 is still open, and you are looking for an economical way to meet old friends, make new ones, get some of the best food around, and are in the mood for a lot of laughs, check out www.porkinthepines.com and come join us for the 4th anual Pork in the Pines. You won't be disappointed, I guarantee it. Edited July 20, 2009 by Black Owl

Tigeress Posted July 21, 2009 #6 Posted July 21, 2009 I think fried rooster should be on the menu too.
BradT Posted July 22, 2009 #7 Posted July 22, 2009 Mr. Owl you seem to have it the same time every year, which is just not good for us. Too many things to get ready and is a busy time of the year, with the kids going back to school. We can not make it again, maybe some year we will. Brad
Red1 Posted July 22, 2009 #8 Posted July 22, 2009 Am checking to see if there is some way we can get a better handle on the flys this year. Have you considered bathing BEFORE the event this year?
