I don't have much cash this week, but I'll try to bring plates and napkins. If everybody brings there own drinks. We should be good.

I already have plenty of napkins and paper towel that I was going to bring. If you just want to bring some paper plates and we could get one more person to grab like 2 bags of chips that would work. I can bring a couple of big bowls to use.

Anyone else attending able to grab a bag of chips or pretzels? Other than that I think we have everything covered.

I'll bring my camera, so I can take pics of all the fish I'm going to catch!:celebrate
I suppose I can take a few of the picnic also.

Ok cool.

I didn't reserve a pavillion, but there are a few we could use if one is reserved. As far as I know, there isn't anything going on in the park.

I might want to double check, but I THINK there are charcoal grills at the park if somebody wants to bring some charcoal if you like that better.

I will be able to attend and will likely be bringing a guest. I can also bring a few bags of chips. Looking forward to my first OC experience!

I am going to try to talk my better third (boy things change when you have kids!) into making a day trip. I would think the offer of a little cash to spend should do the trick!

(Boy am I in trouble if she ever decides to start reading this "gun stuff"!)

Yep, my Lady and I are interested but totally new to this OC movement... although I'm not new to OC on occasion.

So how does this OC picnic thing work?

Yea, if anyone else wants to bring another grill in addition to my gas grill that would be fine. Mine is just one of the small coleman ones for camping.

Welcome to the group Bikenut. Fell free to check out the threads from past picnics and read some of the comments. It's pretty simple really, show up, bring a dish to pass if you like, and have some fun. It's just like a reqular BBQ but with people OCing and of course no alcohol.

You can check out the schedule of events thread at the top to see the list of items if you would like to contribute something.

Again, welcome and read all you can!

Thanks for the warm welcome Generaldnet!

Judy and I will bring a couple of 8 packs of some kind of pop hoping folks will like what we select. (probably gonna be a long list of posts from folks requesting favorite brands... hehehe)

We have an archery event in the morning which makes us unclear as to what time we will show up but we expect it to be before 1.

I'm talking with a friend also so he and his better half might also attend.

This works like any other picnic you might go to. Just show up and hang out. Some of us will be available for questions and whatnot. These picnics are always a lot of fun.

You do NOT need to OC to be welcome. We should have some food, but fel free to bring a snack to share if you want, and you'll probably need to bring your own drinks.

Also forgot to mention that I heard from a friend who heard from a friend who heard from his mom who heard from the group (haha) that there some sort of Glenn Beck 9/12 group in Bay City and some of the members were interested in OC and might show up.

You are right, you will have some members of the BayCity area 912 groups. I am a charter member of said group. See you at the picnic.

Wouldn't that be slick if some of the Glenn Beck 912 people were able to get Glenn to air some footage and maybe do an OC segment of the picnic on one of His nightly TV shows on Fox news. That would be national exposure.

Also, I just wanted to say that since I didn't rent a pavillion, it might be a good idea to bring chairs if you have them. I'm pretty sure we'll be able to get some room in one of the three pavillions.

Also, too, I forgot to mention that there are a couple small playgrounds for the children.

ETA: oh, and beach volleyball courts
