Fat Beagle Bash 09

[Loc]

Its time for another Fat Beagle micro rally at Labor Day. This will be the Third Annual Fat Beagle and it will be again at Buckhorn Lake Resort in Kerrville. The dates are Friday September 4 to Monday September 7, 2009. Hopefully no hurricanes this year. Last year we had 10 couples/families that attended and would love to increase the number this year. This is a casual get together with a lot of bus talk, happy hours and good food. So far we have a handful of couples/families that have indicated that they will join us for the can't miss event of the fall. I will post some particulars later on after we get a better count of who is interested. If you are interested let me know by responding on the POG site so that I can get a head count. Additionally give the folks at Buckhorn a call at 800.568.6458 and make a reservation. We tend to gather in the spots behind the barn and for those more exclusive types in the adult section. As of today they have a number of available spots but those will go quickly once word of the Beagle gets out.

Count us in. Again.
Thanks.

I made tentative reservations for two sites ( 6097 & 6098 ) for us at the back side of the barn overlooking the crick.

I say tentative cause the boss hasn't told me if I can go yet, or if that is where she even wants to go?

Besides Loc, you still owe me a set of Fat Beagle Drink Cups from last year, that you promised me, and never gave me.

Loc,

With a great deal of wishful thinking and hope that work cooperates, I have made reservations at Buckhorn Lake to attend your rally. we will arrive 23 Aug and depart 19 Sep. If I remember what the lady said, we are in site 6081. She said Verizon coverage is better in that area, so that is where we are. We will leave Buckhorn and go straight to OKC for the big POG rally. We are really looking forward to this trip.

I talked with Buckhorn today. They showed reservations for 10 sites. Ken and Mel Torme, they did not show reservations under your names (you probably are using an alias to avoid being associated with the group). You may want to check with them. Ted we want to see that new paint job and your wayward trash can is looking for its old owner. Here is the preliminary plan:

Friday: arrive - we will be in space 6095 and should arrive by 5 pm. Feel free to stop by when you get in. There will likely be a group sitting around discussing all the important world events and bus stuff.
Friday night: A group of us will head into Kerrville around 6 - 6:30 pm for a casual dinner at one of Kerrville's fine dining establishments. As an alternative, there is a pizza dinner at Buckhorn.

Saturday morning: Breakfast at the Barn 8am to 9:30am
Saturday - Buckhorn Bus to Bandera (if you want to visit Bandera) - leaves Buckhorn at 9:30 am returns to Buckhorn at 3 pm (will also go on Sunday)
Saturday afternoon around 4ish: Happy Hour - we will provide the frozen Beagleritas, chips and dips. Bring a chair and your favorite other libation.
Saturday night: Grill Out - Bring your preferred type of meat (steak, pork, chicken) and we will grill it on the Buckhorn grill located next to the Barn. I need some volunteers to bring some salads, side dishes and desserts.

Sunday morning 8 - 9 am - Breakfast - by the Fat Beagle Cooking Team
Sunday - a chance to see some of the sights around Kerrville
Sunday afternoon around 4ish- Happy Hour II - Beagleritas part two
Sunday night - 5 to 6 pm - Buckhorn BBQ at the Barn
Sunday night - 7 pm - Ice Cream Social at the Barn
Sunday night - dusk - fireworks weather permitting

All of the meals at the Barn with the exception of Saturday night are provided by Buckhorn. You will need to tell them when you check in if you plan to join them and pay at that time. I think breakfast is a pay at the door affair.

If you are willing to bring a dessert or side dish for Saturday dinner please let me know.

If you are willing to bring a dessert or side dish for Saturday dinner please let me know.

We will plan to bring an Asian salad and a Cajun side dish.

Loc,

Which day are we going to do the pot luck?

We were planning to do the fried shrimp wrapped in bacon, crawfish pies, and a dessert.
