Jeff Bearden posted on FB it would be Saturday May 5th @ 12 noon.
No other details as yet...
Talked to Jeff today while at the pier.
Saturday May 5th, 1200
Rain or Shine, if it rains it'll be held at the pier house
Jeff said he'll be posting a list of supplies/contributions this coming Monday.
If your coming to the picnic and bring a food or drink or anything else please post it here or on the FB post that Jeff started so we can get an idea of anything we might need to get. Please don't start a new thread until I can get all the info recorded.
I will bring a gallon of BBQ sauce and 72 buns.
(this is also posted on the other thread, but I'm only bringing them once)
I'm going to post the list I've made up if your not on the list yet post it here or on GS Pier Rats on FB. Posting list on FB.
Tato,
i think most of us have posted what is being brought and needed on the
Pier Rats site started by Jeff!
Yea would have posted here but never have figured out how to post a picture.
Don't forget if your bringing an item early that morning that needs to be kept on ice please try to do so in your own cooler. I know I won't have room with all the junk I'm bringing. Don't think anybody has said much about drinks and cups yet if your looking for something to bring. O yea Braxton mentioned drinks but never can have too many.
Is anybody coming to the Picnic I've only gotten about 15 names of people bringing anything. That ain't gonna feed everybody.
Wow, what an unexpected response... Crickets chirping.
Al'right!
The ten day weather forecast looks to be great, except for Saturday the 5th, the Pier Picnic.
Partly Cloudy
High Temp 73
Humidity 74%
Wind ESE 9mph
Precipitation 40% chance
Edit: NOAA just updated to a 40% chance of rain.
Maybe half decent day for a picnic?
We might need Baskets of Fish, Loaves of Bread and a whole lot of Prayer!
There is always a prayer offered for Heavenly Father's blessings.
And the generosity of some has always fed many.
The GFS model shows a cold front coming through that morning with up to 20 knot north winds (two flags) behind it. Ten days out is not reliable for the model to predict timing, but the front is probable. It mostly depends on the timing.
Here is the model start page (not sure how long link will work).
Model Guidance
And the base page for selecting models.

Rain or shine, there's gonna be a picnic.
Need somebody to go by J&M that morning from what John said around 10-11 to pick up the Bar-B-Q he is fixing for us. He said 4-5 Boston Butts will need a big cooler.
I can do that.Quote:

GFS model shows the front weakening and slowing down now. According to the model it will be on our north side and we will still have SE winds. Does not look powerful at all, but of course that is still six days out.
On another topic, do I need to bring more buns?
