Northeastern meet-up / pig roast (Vermont) 8/17/14

[Vermont Freehand]

I'm going to host a northeatstern meet-up in conjunction with my summer pig roast.

Sunday, August 17th, all day until 11:00pm

All ages, family friendly (until about 9:45)

Pig roast / bbq

Bluegrass music all day and night, stage will be setup, there will be the basic PA, mics, etc., but feel free to bring an instrument and jump in.

Fireworks at 9:30

We'll supply the pig, hot dogs, hamburgers, veggies, salads, and a keg of beer. There will be about 100 cans of Heady Topper, but that won't last long.

We are asking for volunteers to bring side dishes and more drinks. Drop a message if you would like to bring something.

Plenty of camping area, but campers must be relatively quiet by 11:00pm.

There will be a few people coming from the Albany NY area, so if anyone who is flying in needs a ride from Albany airport, just ask.

PLEASE, NO DOGS

If interested in coming, private message me for directions.

1307 miles...

Hmmm...

[Vermont Freehand]

it'll be the best 1307 miles you ever travelled!

[Alden]

Sounds awful tempting ! Doubt I'll make it but.... A week before Columbus... Flight to NY... Flight to Ohio...

[Charl]

Got the invite, now all I need is an airplane ticket halfway around the world!

[LatakiaLover]

You heartless monsters and beasts. How could you???

[Vermont Freehand]

yeah, we'll take some of those bite size ones if you bring them!!

[Alden]

That pig is only smiling because he just took a crap on your nice towel.

[Sasquatch]

LOL I was thinkin the same thing.

[LatakiaLover]

I imagine a sasquatch would deep fry and eat those things by the bag, like bacon-flavored popcorn.

[scotties22]

I don't know 'bout you boys, but "Mmmmmm...bbbbaaaaaccccccooooonnnnnn" was my first thought with I saw that picture.

[Alden]

Happy bacon comes from happy pigs. Happy pigs come from Vermont.

[pipeguy]

The only thing better than 100lbs of bacon is.......... 200lbs of bacon

Have to work that day, unfortunately. Might be able to get it off but no promises

Folks, I've been up to Steve's place. Frankly, it's not to be missed - and it's not just the place; Do yourself a favor and meet Steve, enjoy Vermont, and eat a pig. If I wasn't out of town that weekend I'd be there without hesitation, and I may change my plans just to get there!

It sounds like fun and I want to go but I dunno secluded private estate and all. It seems like the schedule between 9:30 to 9:45 just after the fireworks is when they explain "the rules of the hunt" and 11 or so is when they expect to be done stocking up on meat for next year.

Wish I could go Steve but that's a long way to go right now to indulge my love for roast pig. My docs have me on a short leash right now. Thank you so much though.

Just after the "fireworks", indeed.

Great camouflage, those fireworks.

I just got permission from Mrs. LittleBill to make the trip!

The pig roast was a huge success though only a handful of pipe makers. Hopefully next year we can step it up and designate a solid day after or before the party for just pipe making. Here's some photo albums and videos to hold you over til next year;
