I've got a good sized one I can bring. It isn't something that can fly away with the top down, so I think I can manage it. You may have to REMIND me to pack it tho.

I'll figure out something to bring unless you have something specific in mind.

See you then

Generally, if you can bring something that hasn't already been mentioned in the thread, enough for at least 10 people, and a way to serve it.
Also, BYOB and something to sit on if the weather behaves.....

You can always go to the store in town (or on your way in). I'll be getting my food at the grocery store in Robinsville...now I just have to find that bonus card I got last year

I make 8 quarts of sauce and will have 6 pounds of pasta. I don't want to make this difficult for anyone, so really beer is ok. Please bring your doggies as well..I love doggies...

Dave, so far no-one's bringing soda..could you grab a few of 2 liter bottles..say Coke, ginger ale, 7UP...
I don't drink alcohol, so at least for me, this would be a big help..

I managed to get approval from work such that I can drive down on Tuesday... so I'll finally be able to get some home cookin' from my DCMM Mom!

Count me in - and let me know what this culinarily-challenged bachelor can bring to assist.

we haven't ever had enough table room...everyone pretty much holds their plates in their laps.
If the weather behaves, we can eat at a picnic table outside as well...
