IMPORTANT: Note the new location, but the same date!
For news and updates about the BBQ, visit the BBQ event page.
We’re still having the annual BBQ on the same date — 3rd weekend in July — but we need to change the venue for this year. Val will have little puppies at home in mid-July, so we’re moving this year’s bash to Paw-zn-Around in Saco. It will still be on July 15 from 12-4 PM. As of now, we don’t have a rain date.
Paw-zn-Around has a lovely fenced-in event field just past the main building with the pawprints. We may use the rest rooms inside the building, and we’ll find out whether we can also use the kitchen.
As usual, we’ll have our traditional festivities: Beardies bouncing everywhere, raffles for fun Beardie stuff, our Annual Meeting, and annual elections. We’ll also have extra membership forms onsite for membership renewals and for new members.
It’s Not Really a BBQ, But It’ll Still Be a Bounce
Since we won’t have the gas grill, we’ll figure out what our local food options are — pizza, subs, or something. The club traditionally supplies the burgers, so we’ll take care of that part. We’ll also supply the paper plates, cups, plasticware, napkins, and all that. You can still bring snacks, drinks, side dishes, or whatever inspires you. If you can also bring a table, we’d really appreciate it.
What To Bring
Here’s what else you can bring:
- Your lovely selves
- Your Beardies
- Chairs
- EZ-Ups or other shelter from the sun
- Bug spray
- Something for the potluck
- Your checkbook (for membership renewals)
- Cash (for raffle tickets)
- Pens (for the annual election ballots)
If you’re not sure what to bring for the potluck and would like ideas, ask Val. She’ll know whether everyone is signing up to bring potato salad.
