I'm talking about someone who walked over to the table, took a brand new box of cookies from the table, then started walking off. Then he had the audacity to LIE TO MY FACE when confronted about STEALING the box of cookies.

It makes it tough to feed people when greedy bas**rds are stealing the food.

This is what I thought as well. As I was waiting for my number to be called, I saw people walking out with their food and I saw two cookies per plate. I'm not talking about those small cookies either. I'm talking BIG. I was pretty anxious and excited to get it, but alas there weren't anymore left on the food table.

I think I'm going to get a pack of cookies tomorrow .

First off I really liked the venue, great view, cool location. I didn't like how we parked and were boxed in, luckily I saw the guy behind me outside and he moved his car for me When I was ready to leave.

I heard there was a raffle but never heard about where to buy the tickets.

Definitely need some sort of activities and an Itinerary/announcements.
I still had a good time and enjoyed the wine!

We do all have to realize that all of this was for their benefit.

Seeing that makes fighting the smokey inferno on the grills through the day fully worthwhile to me. Shoutouts to everyone else who pitched in on the cooking/serving. You all have my utmost respect.

Greg, I'm sure I'll chat with you in person regarding my ideas/suggestions for food next year. I think anything else I'd mention has already been stated.

Possibly if the community as a whole was better at preordering their tickets, the overall planning + food prep could be much more precisely handled, but I think that is a factor that can't really be controlled. Furthermore, I didn't preorder mine so this is a kinda hypocritical claim.

Cheers,
Matt

I think burgers, hot dogs, hot links and some chicken would be awesome along with bags of chips and buckets of can soda. Last years food set-up was perfect! Easy to cook and plenty of food to go around for 2nds.
