Midwest FurFest Summer Picnic is this weekend!
« on: June 15, 2009, 08:50:45 PM »
My, my look at the time!

The June LAFF Softball Game and Midwest FurFest Summer Picnic are just a few days away on Saturday, June 20. All of the fun will be at Prairie Springs Park in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin (just north of the IL/WI border). Here are the picnic shelter and ball fields we'll be using. You can find all the details about the softball game here; folks can gather for practice at 1 PM, and the game starts at 2 PM sharp. The Midwest FurFest Summer Picnic will start at approximately 6 PM, right after the final softball game.

What's on the menu for the picnic, you ask? Steak. Specifically, New York strip steak (or chicken breast, for those who don't eat red meat) grilled on site, homemade redskin potato salad, mixed greens salad, banana pudding, and a variety of homemade cookies. We'll have water, Gatorade, and an interesting selection of local sodas. Additionally, we'll have various snacks throughout the day. Best of all, it's all free courtesy of your hometown furry convention, Midwest FurFest!

We have ulterior motives, of course :-) Midwest FurFest exists because of volunteers, and new volunteers and staff are always needed to keep the convention thriving. If you have any questions about the convention, if you're interested in volunteering, or you just want to learn how it all comes together, feel free to ask any of the folks with a Midwest FurFest nametag and they'll be happy to help you out.

Now here's the important bit: RSVPS ARE DUE BY NOON ON WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17! If you don't get your RSVP in by then, we can't guarantee we'll have food for you! (though we will try to accommodate everyone we can).

How do you RSVP for the softball game and/or the picnic? Do you comment on this post? NO! Do you send an email? NO! You must submit your RSVP here. Any other method of response will be cheerfully ignored. (Please state if you'll be attending the game and/or the picnic when you RSVP, and remember that an RSVP stating that you "might" be there is not an RSVP because we "might" have a steak for you...or we might not :-) If Mother Nature deems it impossible to play, we will head east to The Jelly Belly Factory and take their tour. In the event of bad weather, and an announcement will be made to the LAFF list and LJ communities regarding the status of the picnic on Saturday morning.

See everyone on Saturday!
