Beer Nuts Family Picnic 2017 - Sat. Sept 16

[daryl]

Marilyn and I would like to invite the CR Beer Nuts Families and Friends to our home for a picnic and for the Club's BBQ Throwdown. This year's throwdown theme is "To Be Announced".

The date is Saturday, September 16.

This is pretty low-key event and will involve great company, food, and (of course) beer; and in a family-oriented environment.

Time: Anyone is welcome to arrive after 1 PM; BBQ Competitors need to arrive, with their 'cooked' entry, no later than 4 PM, and we will begin serving at approximately 4:30 PM.

Bring a side dish (salad, dessert, casserole, vegetable plate, etc.) to share.

If the current wood pile remains until September, and it is not soaked, it will be an epic bonfire.

Below is a map to our farm. You can see that from Cedar Rapids or Marion, going north and intercepting County Home Road (E34) is the simplest way to go.

Arriving via County Home Road
Going east on County Home Road, you will pass through the little village of Whittier. Once you have passed Whittier, turn right on the first blacktop heading South; that is Springville Road (X20) and our driveway will be the first one on the left.

Arriving via HWY 151
If you are familiar with Springville, you can go out HWY 151 and exit at the Springville water tower (you'll see a bank and Casey's from the highway) and work your way along Springville Road to the main road through town (in town X20 is called Broadway) and head north. Once you are clear north of town, our driveway will be the last one on the right, just before you reach the stop sign at County Home Road.

Can't make it this year. I'll be somewhere in the air over the North pole about that time.

Won't know if I can come until the kids start school and the calendar starts to fill up. Typically not far away at a boy scout camp.

[Konigsmark]

Wish I could make it but I will be at Riot Fest!

[Matt F]

I am out. Burlesque show at the Paramount that night.

[daryl]

So we plan accordingly, please post if you are coming this coming weekend, along with the number in your party. Bring a side to share, as well as bottle share.

You need not post if you cannot make it.

And, let us know if you are competing in the Jerk BBQ Comp.

We may have a different problem with the bonfire this year....it may be too dry and present a risk to the surrounding fields...the burn pile pretty large this year.
