The Fresno/Central Valley Chapter cordially invites one and all to our second annual Fresno Tailgate and Rally on Friday and Saturday, September 12th and 13th, 2003.

Our rally will begin at 5:00 pm and end at 7:00 pm Friday night, at the corner of Blackstone and Shaw in Fresno. Afterwards, the group will retire for dinner and refreshments at the nearby Ramada Inn.

Our tailgate pot-luck picnic will be at Woodward Park on Saturday, September 13th. We have the Mountain View Picnic Area from 3:00 pm until 10:00 pm.

The entrance to Woodward Park is on Audubon Drive, just off Freeway 41 on the northern edge of Fresno. The Mountain View Pinic Shelter is near the center of the park and is the second parking lot on the left from the Audubon entrance.

Bring your flags, banners, signs, family and children. Prepare to support your country and enjoy the company of your good FReeper friends!

No way, he's been my hero for a few years now. :-)

[Mama_Bear]

Really, really hope you can make it. We would be honored to have you come from so far.

[Mama_Bear]

I am so pleased that you are coming up again this year. I think it is a nice compliment to everyone who was there last year that you would make that long trip up to Fresno to get together with us again.

We did have a good time, didn't we? Looking forward to seeing you all again.

[Mama_Bear]

Can you all join us again this year?

[Mama_Bear]

BUMPing to get the word out about our rally and tailgate party. Great company, great conversation, fun and games and ........the best Tri-Tip anywhere, guaranteed!

RSVP to JustAmy or Mama_Bear.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Thanks so much, Lori. I'll do my best.

BUMP

[Mama_Bear]

Are we going? :-)

LOL! I am! I'm going for the tri-tip. ;-)

BUMP!!!

Um...Did somebody say "tri-tip"??? Yummmmmmm. I assume that someoone will make sure there is regular lipton iced tea available, too, huh?

LOL. Sure, if that's what it takes to get you there. ;-)

Sweetened, unsweetened? What's your preference?

BTW, Jeff is doing the tri-tip again this year. He does great tri-tip, so be sure to come hungry.

Will Martha be able to come? Hope so. Let me know if I can add her name to the rsvp list.

I would leave the tea unsweetened so people can add the sweetener of their choice (nutrasweet, or splenda, or regular sugar, etc.)

I'm not sure if my mom can make it or not. Also, didn't you all say something about baby-back ribs? Just kiddin :o)

[tame]

What's your preference?

Um...well...here goes...

Good idea. I was thinking about Crystal Light Peach or Raspberry tea. I love it, but some people don't like sweet tea. Your idea makes more sense.

I'm not sure if my mom can make it or not.

Okay, if or when you find out one way or the other let me or Amy know, so we will know how much tri-tip to bring. We would like to have her join us.

Also, didn't you all say something about baby-back ribs?

No.

Just kiddin :o)

Good. LOL. ;-)

[Mama_Bear]

Re: your preference, why am I not surprised? LOL!

[tame]

why am I not surprised? LOL!

Because you know I'm a normal, healthy male :o)

BTW, I'll trade the iced tea and tri-tip for...

[Mama_Bear]

Because you know I'm a normal, healthy male :o)

Yep.

Good night, tame. I'm outta here. See you soon.

[tame]

Good Night :o)

I will be able to make an appearance but I will be there late. I have to go to our BSA yearly planning potluck, which ironically, is taking place just a few picnic areas away.

Do you want a repeat of my rice pilaf? Or do you have something else in mind?

Thanks. You have good taste.
