SMF Members and their immediate families are invited to the first
Southern Louisiana Gathering!
When: October 8-9-10
Where: The farm of Alblancher -PM Al for specific directions. A general map has been posted in this thread.
Some fine southern BBQ is planned as well as Gumbo and Breakfast Sausage making demos Friday afternoon and evening. The gumbo and sausage will be part of the menu that night and the next morning. If ya have never made gumbo or sausage this is a good time to get your feet wet!
We are asking all participants to provide one side for one of the meals. Please contact eman (Bob) to coordinate side dishes so we don’t have 10 sides of beans! LOL Everyone should bring their own beverages but coffee, water, and Kool Aid for the kids will be there.
Facility Info: Al and his wife’s farm have full bathroom facilities and water. Limited electrical is available. If you are bringing a RV please contact Al well in advance. He can make temporary electrical available but you should carry water on board and no dump station is available on the site. A kitchen is available for final prep of sides if needed. There is plenty of tent space. Bring your lawn chairs.
We encourage you to make a voluntary donation either once there or to ShooterRick via PayPal. Use the send funds option in PayPal to [email protected] and memo S.LA. If you know you are coming and can make the donation in advance you will help offset the out of pocket expenses of the hosts and give us a firmer head count.
