Digger9's 2nd Annual Halloween Weenie Roast Event Cache
digger9: THANK YOU to everyone that came to our little party. From our best count we had 98 people not counting us. We had 3 states besides Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois. We raised a nice chunk of money for our friends J.S.K., Thanks to all who donated prizes, and bought the raffle tickets. We are already planning for the 3rd Annual Halloween Weenie Roast, so keep October 29, 2011. I hear there may be a famous vampire involved, but that is just a rumour [;)]

It's that time of year again!!!! Let's get together for a weenie roast at Gateway park in Marengo, Iowa. Gateway is located on the North end of Court Ave, along the Iowa River.
We will be at the Gateway Nature Preserve's Building. The building is heated, but does not have a bathroom. There is however a "Portapotty", so you'll have to go outside, but you won't have to leave.
***********************************************************************************
We will provide Hot Dogs, Buns, Chili, condiments, Plates, and forks.
Please bring a side dish or dessert to share, your own beverage, and a chair if you wish.
Please post in your "will Attend" log what you will bring, and how many will be coming in your group.

Closest is Sudbury Court www.sudburymotelandrv.com
There are also hotels by Tanger Mall on I-80
If you want to stay at Sudbury court, book early as the 30th is the first day of pheasant season, and they will fill up fast.
We are going to have T-Shirts again this year. Our son has come up with another cool design, see the pic in the gallery. cost would be $10. We need to know by OCT 11, so we can get the order in. If you want a shirt, please pre order, as we will not make a re-order this year.
We have had some people ask about costumes. They are optional. We will be dressing as Mr. and Mrs. Digger9 again this year.
