Get Together located in Central,MA (Rutland State Park) - June 14 2008

Christine - you SO rock.  :)    Thanks!!

Rutland is a great idea. Most everyone coming will be driving right by my house to get there too, as I live 10-15 mins away.

I am planning on manning the grill, unless a hubby is available so I will get charoal too.. I can get Hamburger patties. I may also be able to pick up some dogs too, Who's bringing the condiments?? Rolls? We need plasticware and plates too.

 

I am bringing my 3 kids, ages 9 & the twins 4.

Let me know if hot dogs or burgers are needed (or buns).  We're bringing a salad but could contribute more or switch if it makes more sense.

Where's Rutland?  *off to Google Maps*

A bit past Worcester .. almost in the middle of MA from the West/East and North/South.     Hope you can make it!

A BIG bump to remind everyone that we're still on for June 14th!!!!   If anyone on the list is unable to come at this point - I *really* need to know so I know we have the essentials accounted for.    Please make sure to send me a message if you don't think you'll make it.       I'll add the updated list of things being brought by whom this week.   Can't wait to meet everyone!!!

I'll still be there with the kid stuff! I'm bringing stuff for 2 dozen kids... hopefully that will cover everyone. I don't want to be caught short but it's hard to figure out how many kids there are in total. I have some activities planned... and I'll have some prizes... !!! It should be a rocking time for the little ones!
