I finally booked, site 4. If everyone was good with Cindy's BF's mashed potatoes (with mushrooms and cheddar cheese... and I forget what else... garlic?) he can probably be convinced to bring them again... along with the pumpkin pie that he is apparently bringing.
Welmoed- Cindy's BF loves roasted Brussels sprouts, and I like them too!
Unfortunately, we will have to back out of this one. :'( Looking at our schedules for the day, we would be looking at an after 9:30 pm arrival, after a very long day at work. Couple that with a lot going on here right now, we have decided it would be better to stay close to home that weekend.
I plan on releasing my site Fri, tomorrow, evening. If you know of anyone still looking for a site, or wanting to change to be closer to the group, send me a pm & I would gladly coordinate a time to work toward their online advantage.
We're sorry to miss the big feast. Enjoy!
2HappyCampers......Mac-n-cheese is always a kid favorite :baseballhat: .
You are right, we don't have any cranberry stuff yet. My family didn't eat cranberries growing up but we did have a can in the cupboard that we put on the table for many years at Thanksgiving as a joke. Then my Sister's BF came to dinner and wanted to have some cranberries and offered to open the can :- We had to inform him that the can was about 6 years old and probably no good. Since my Sister married that BF we actually have cranberries now at Thanksgiving......he is in charge of that dish 😀

After many flea markets and sitting outside for many many years I am finally retiring my heavy as heck 8 foot plywood tables. I set one up for DS's birthday party this weekend and the top was all rotted. DW "I'm running to the store for last minute items, do we need anything?.....Yes, I need a new table and BJ's has an awesome 4 foot folding table with adjustable legs....OK, it'll be your birthday present". My birthday is November 1.
So I will have an awesome lightweight 4 foot folding table that has 3 height positions. Kids table, regular table, and buffet table.
We will be needing some more tables and EZ ups. In the past we have had 35 feet of pot luck yumminess for upwards of 80 people!!! We need tables to put the food on and the EZ ups to string up some lights so we can see what is left for the late night snack.
We are going to keep the food warm the way we did last year.....With steam trays and sternos. We have all the frames and sternos so we do not need any.....Thank you Phil. On Friday night/Saturday morning we will be passing out tin trays for you to put your dish in and bring to the Pot Luck. In the past we have done crock pots but with this being such a large gathering and with it being colder the crock pots were constantly tripping breakers......and we would run extension cords from multiple power sources.
Here is a link to a video I made of the Thanksgiving pot luck a few years ago.

I just updated the table below with the latest foods and I added a column for the "other" stuff like tables, EZ ups, etc. Please check to make sure I have everything correct.
Mtn Biker- I got your switch to Dinner Rolls & Butter.
ILuv2Camp - JoeCamper is in charge of the deep frying, I don't know what his plan for this year is so I don't know if he needs another fryer.
-updated menu at the start of the thread-
I have to say....I'm updating the food list and I am already tasting it all. I can't wait for the pot luck!!!! This is one of my favorites (next to the low country boil)
