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.

Hopefully by now most members are aware that Minnesota will be once again hosting the Pork in the Pines Pig Roast over the 2009 Labor day week end (visit www.porkinthepines.com) The guest of honor has been invited, and I am currently working on some of the other mundane issues. One of those issues involves the menu for the free breakfast on Saturday morning. In another thread, Sarges46 mentioned that he "loved" biscuits. This got me to thinking. (I know... really dangerous.) Anyway, I was thinking, would it be possible to include biscuits and gavy on the menu. Would take a bit more work and require that I get up really early, but if enough folks were interested, I think we could do it. So, the question is... How many folks planning on being at the Pork in the Pines breakfast would like to have biscuits and gravy? Right now, breakfast will include Eggs cooked to order (as long as you order scrambled) Sausages Hot cakes (or pancakes) Fried taters Toast Coffee Remember, this years PIP is free for all attendees (A donation jar will be set up for those that would like to make a donation to help is cover the costs). As always, there will be plenty of free camping space... (B ut the choice sites are going quick) For that you will get: Chili social meet and greet Friday night Breakfast Saturday morning Rosted hog with all the fixins Saturday night Free cigars (Thanks to Juggler) at the bonfire Saturday night Breakfast Sunday morning (if I can get a sponsor) Pulled Pork Sandwiches Sunday evening We will also be doing a bike service workshop and Brandi (Crows Nest) has graciously volunteered her bike for a pipe tuning... So, let me know about the biscuits and gravy as the cook (who can get really obnoxious if he is caught short) will need some additional time to up the biscuits.... Thanks to all who have registered to date, and if you're considering coming up this year and have not registered, please do so now to give us a handle on how many to expect. Again, registration can be done at www.porkinthepines.com Or just give us a heads up here. Black owl
