Where: Andrew Haydon Park - The Bandshell

When: June 24th 2012 rain or shine.  Festivities begin at 11:00am and continue until the pig is ready to eat...whenever that may be!  Please bring your own chair if you have one to bring.

Cost:  If you're a paid OVAS member, it free!  If you're not a paid member, there is a $5 entrance fee per person.  It's also an optional potluck, so the more people who volunteer to bring something, the better it will be!


Schedule:

9:30 - 10:00am: Country Roasters will be setting up and starting to cook the pig.

11:00 - 12:30: Bunky the Clown will be painting faces and making balloon animals

1:00 - Whenever the pig is ready:  Urban Static will take the stage for a few sets and we will be giving out the awards for fish breeders and volunteers between the sets.

We'll have door prizes, kids' loot bags and LOADS of fishy talk so please join us!

I hope to see everyone there!

If someone has a costco membership, we could always use a nice big bag of buns to go with the pork!

I also added an update on the activities.  Keep checking back as things are getting finalized this week.

Anyone bringing Macaroni Salad yet? If not, I'll bring some.

Maybe we should update the original post with a list of what people are bringing and/or what is missing so people have an idea what to bring? Just a thought...
