Get together down on the Farm

[Nate the Great]

Hey y'all I have been thinking about maybe having an MM get together at my farm south of Bridgewater. Maybe have it early in the semester in January or February when nothing much else is going on. I could get a fire pit going out on the patio for smores and maybe have a turducken-esque kind of potluck where everyone brings beverages and foods to share. I could make an entree and a desert. Any thoughts on this? Yay? Nay?

[BLINGMW]

Yeah man, sounds good I want to go!

[Kaan]

We would be down

[Jake]

Tell me when.

[95SVTCobra]

Count me in for this one :thumbup:

[davej]

can't get much more local. i'd be in if we're around then.

[Nate the Great]

Awesome! :thumbup: What day works best for everybody? It seems like a Friday or Saturday Night would work best leaning on Saturday as it gives more time for those outside of the Valley to make the trip.

[Senor_Taylor]

Sounds interesting. I'm a maybe! Depending on timing.

Okay I have made the Facebook Event Page and have selected January 16th at 5:00 as the date of the get together I can change it to later if it conflicts with too many people's schedules. Here is the FB event - <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://www.facebook.com/events/1523131221337046/">https://www.facebook.com/events/1523131221337046/</a><!-- m -->

[Senor_Taylor]

Do you want me to invite all of the current members on the FB page?

[Nate the Great]

Yes by all means please do!

[Senor_Taylor]

Can you make a "host" on the page so I can invite everyone?

Unfortunately I can't make it. My neighbor's going-away party to Europe is that day.

[Nate the Great]

Taylor I made you a co-host on the event page. Sorry you'll miss all the fun

[Senor_Taylor]

Yeah, I'm pretty bummed. I'll be sure to get everyone invited.

[Nate the Great]

Sweet! Looks like there will be quite a bit of baked goods as I have many holiday goodies my parents have frozen. I may have some leftover alcohol from my Dad's office party. I have a pull out couch and an extra bedroom to spare if anyone needs to crash at the farm. I should also strongly recommend DD's and advise against any shenanigans in the Bridgewater area as the cops will nail anyone for even the slightest issue. This is the 'safest town' in Virginia which means they are bored out of their minds.

I have work at 9:30 that Saturday, so I might be able to swing by for a little bit but can't drink or stay too long.

[BLINGMW]

I'd like to come by for a couple hours and bring a food, but am stuck with the kids this weekend... anyone else bringing kids and/or is it ok if I bring them?

I was trying to get there also for a bit and it would be easier if the kids were in tow, so I'll second a vote for short MMers.

Does anyone know where it is exactly? maps shows it just over the river as you leave town, but the address also comes up for the Simmons horse farm, which is down the road a mile or two.

What's missing food/drink wise that I could bring?
