There will be a couple of big holes in this year's wingnight :(

Hoping to be able to pop in for a while. As usual it will all depend on the ducklings' soccer schedules.

Usually, this coincides with my anniversary. But, because the last week end in Sep. falls earlier I think I can be here. Boss might be irked if I take 2 weekends in a row off but I am going to try. Should make an appearance either way.

Without the bad times, the good times wouldn't seem so good.

Joy is a great teacher, but so is dispair. Wonder is a great teacher, but so is confusion. Hope is a great teacher, but so is disillusionment. And life is a great teacher, but so is death. To deny yourself any of those in any aspect is not experiencing life totally.

Still in "maybe" mode for the potluck on Saturday. Big duckling has a soccer game in St. Michael at 1:00 and little duckling has a game in Becker but the schedule does not have a time listed yet. Hoping her game is in the morning and then we can go to wingnight straight from big duckling's game in St. Michael.

The ducklings would be excited to play w/ their wingnight friends.

Bring whatever you'd like. I don't have a real good idea on exactly what dishes will be there . It usually works out. In the past if I remember correctly we've been heavy on the desserts. I'd plan fo 20 unless you want leftovers. We usually have plenty of food.

quote WhiteWolf: "Planning on being there Saturday with my 11yr old son."

Looking forward to hearing about your recent adventure. Big Duckling (11) is pumped especially with the number of kids coming. Yesterday she even wore her bwca.com tshirt that Jan gave her :( last year when he won it as a door prize. Watching her wear it brought tears to my eyes."

My MiniMN is super excited about all the kids too! I'm excited to see everyone again. Now that I've been on the board longer I might recognize your names, and will hopefully not be as shy as last year!

For all of you Saturday only folks - what time are you planning to arrive? "

Mabybe close to or just before 4. Just realized that Saturday is a big family events day so will play it by ear. Anyone have plate count on what's neede in terms of food? Entrees, appetizers, salads or desserts?"

My kids can't wait to hang out with their bwca kid friends. :) They also all have gift shirts that Jan gave them :( I'm going to bring a change of clothes for my kids because last year they all played in the well pump and were soaked all the way home. With the rain that is coming, I think they will also have their rain gear.. there is no keeping kids out of the rain

Already? I hope it makes it there intact. I know if it were my house it would half gone before we got there.

If I bring a waffle iron would anyone be interested in a waffle breakfast Sat. morning?

quote BeaV: "I'm hoping to make it Saturday afternoon/evening, but I've volunteered to take a kid duck hunting (by canoe of course) and not sure what this entails for time.

Kendra, I'm better at splitting wood than making food. Should I bring more campfire wood or do you have enough?"

Kendra had to jump through a lot of hoops to be certified to bring wood there. You'd need to talk to her.

What would wing night be without wings?

quote AmarilloJim: "Anyone want me to bring them some roasted Hatch green chilies?
Will probably have to freeze them as harvest will be finished soon but they are just as good this way. "

LOL...and I went to the Hatch chili festival! This years little find was mesquite smoked chipolte chili powder...pretty darn good stuff!

I couldn't wait for success, so I went ahead without it!

Thanks to everyone on the Wingnight Committee for a great job reserving such a nice campsite, setting everything up, bringing wood and organizing everything.
Thanks also to Adam, Dicecupmaker and GrammaL for providing the prizes for the raffle.
Thanks to everyone that attended and brought food, donated money and signed the paddle for kanoes family and signed the get well card for jb in the wild.

I had a great time connecting with old friends and meeting new people. It's a great group of people I'm glad I know. All the food was so good. My favorites were the chicken wings, smoked ribs and the pumpkin dump cake.

BassPro69 arrived just as I was leaving so I missed the campfire Barooooooooooo I'm sure he did for Trix.

I wish I could have stayed for the rain and storm that was bearing down on the camp but I had to go home and post all the Wingnight photos!
