2011 Billville Hiker Feed & Fun

[Little One]

The dates this year are July 8,9,10. Duncannon, PA. Preparing food starts July 5. Transport everything to park on Thursday evening July 7. Sunday July 10 must have park cleaner than we found it by noon (because that is how we roll!). More details to follow.

I'll be there as much as I can. Taking part of, if not the whole week off work, I'll make coleslaw from the garden again, I can make enough to go with hot dogs and sausages and the pig if you want.

Thanks, Tina. I'll put you down for the cole slaw for both meals. I may start cooking earlier than Tuesday because after I thought about it that's only 2 days to do all the prep!

Received this in an email from member of a church in Shermansdale, PA. Thank you Matt.

My name is Matt Bornman. I go to Ray's church and attended your Billville feed last year along with Ray and Charleen. Our church would really like to help you at the feed and meet some of these famous hikers in the process. we would like to bring a grill, some vegetarian hot dogs/rolls, grillers/buns, condiments and Ray's famous cold slushy like drink, served out of a five gallon bucket.

the pawpaw dog would be a dog whos both ends were cut into 5 toes to make two paws.

the dude dog would be a cocktail frank on a toothpick with a tiny ziplock of dipping sauce

the doyal dog would be a plane dog heavily scarified with fork marks and cuts and bruses and missing one end. searved in a broken bun on a coaster.

the chomp dog would be cut into peices with wax teeth and covered in teeth marks

the sheneequa dog would be a knockwurst with just the tip dipped in golden mustard

and finaly folks, the bag o tricks dog, a dog so awful, no mortal hiker can refuse its trail scents and ways. its two dogs, put in a blender with potatoe chps and a squirt of ketchup and searved in a cup with a bun stuck in. tricks is watching his weight. one bun only.

Have to also work on the paper/plastic list. HOWEVER Billville each year tries to be more recycle aware. THEREFORE this year bring and use your own utensils, any cans used at the park will be put in a seperate disposal can.
Billville members please bring any of those sturdy plastic cups you get when you get a soda to go - let's recycle them wash and bring with you for hikers to use at park.

[BAG "o" TRICKS]

Tricks, are you reading this? I am couning on you to do your usual and bring lots of equipment for games to occupy and entertain the hikers! Let me know.

Yes I'm reading this and yes I will bring my bag of tricks with me. What else do you need. Similar games as last year and I have a few others I'll run by you that should be fun. What else do you still need food wise? I can bring hot dogs and rolls if needed (how many) and bananas. You want me to bring the drink coolers and any ice chest? Are we brewing coffee this year or doing it cowboy style on the stove. Thanks for asking and getting Sue to play.
