Have one 8 foot folding table with table cloth and an extra table cloth. Have kindling approx 1" diameter stuff cut and dried.  Maybe a 2 foot diam bundle, will bring.  And a couple pieces of larger stuff, will bring it too.  Not enough to go all night, but enough to get it started up.  (Will try to send firewood with thingette 1 so you have it for Friday.) Dad will have a ladder golf set for day light use.  We have washer toss and bean bag toss if anyone is interested in that(let me know so I pack it.  Otherwise it'll stay home)

We can bring a couple of square folding tables if necessary. We were at Cordorus State Park and they sold firewood at the entrance to the campgrounds. Wasn't sure if firewood is sold close to this place. Thoughts?

Sorry we won't make this rally, we went a few years ago at Caladonia when we were living in Maryland.  Great time, great people

We can probably use about 6 or 7 tables for food.  :chef: Even more table clothes for picnic tables.

We have one of our members to play the guitar around the campfire Saturday night.  :guitar: I just haven't asked him yet.  ;D

We will have a fire Friday evening for a Meet & Greet if you are able to arrive on time.

We will have a game on Saturday afternoon if interested (more details later), dinner around 5pm and a group campfire from around noon into the evening.  I can look into getting a small load of wood delivered if sites want to pitch in $5 each?  Let me know.

We have enough to do to make this all happen and the best CC events have a fire that aims to make the ring glow red. Order wood - I will chip way more than $5 in just to not have to load and unload it.

Not much is available close to this park. We've been there at times when the host was selling firewood, but the last time (beginning of Oct.) there was no host, so no firewood to be had from the park (or the Friends group).

Also, if there is interest, we met a guys at the campground last year that does Pine Grove Iron Works talks or tours at the park?  If a few are interested, I will try to set it up.

DD husband and I just bought flannel lined jeans. I guess he  didn't want to hear me say "I''m cold".

Joe you know we will give you whatever money you need for the firewood.

We are interested in the Pine Grove Iron Works tour.

Can't wait for this rally.  Looking forward to hanging out with all of you great people.  Especially hanging out with my bud Christine - can't wait to see the new flannel lined jeans - we'll have a great time!!  Perhaps Phil can suggest a nice warm cocktail by the fire - warm apple cider with ??????????

No pressure there - gets hard to top the Chocolate/Orange Martini's of the last trip. Maybe an idea from this weekend's Halloween cocktail party will inspire me.

We have a 1/2 cord of wood scheduled for delivery on Friday so we will have a group campfire Friday night.  The cost is $75, much cheaper than buys $5 bags of 6 logs

Good to know. We'll be more than happy to contribute for the wood. We took a drive to Pine Grove Furnace on Saturday and didn't see anything being sold. No Camp Host at the site either.

Joe do we have a communal site for the fire and circus tent?

Joy, a holiday spiced wine that is meant to be served warm is always nice.  😉

We do have a site and would love to use the circus tent.  I'm not sure which site I'm going to use for the communal until I get there Friday morning.  It will be the one with the Canvas Campers banner, campfire and big pile of wood.  😉
