We need to start thinking about how many folks are coming this year. As much as you may like to, PLEASE, use this thread to let us know if you are pretty sure you are coming. I know things come up, so, thats not a problem. What I dont need here is a bunch of posts that says, "I sure would like to come but just cant make it." ::) :)
This thread will be our resource for getting numbers as we try to figure out how much of what we are going to need, and a resource for other members to get a peek at who they may get to meet.
There is another topic here, for making general piggy roast posts and comments.
https://forestryforum.com/board/index.php?topic=10939.0
there is also a post in that thread that gives places to stay.

I am coming. Trying to see if the wife can make the trip. She does not travel well though at times due to here Lupus. I will let you know if the wife and daughter will be coming along a little later.
Jeff, Steve and I are going to try to make it. I may have to work on Sat and Sunday with the Roscommon County Corrections folks cleaning trash out of the woods. I'll let you know for certain when I do.
Cool. come about 6:00-7:00 and bring em all along. They can powerwash the roaster for me. :)
Stamp, you are supervising that crew, right? Not being an active participant I hope :D
Jeff,
Thanks for the reminder! If it were one day later, I do believe I might have been able to attend. Unfortunately, I have the wedding of a good friend on that date, so I will have to beg off this year. (again! >:( )
Y'all raise a toast to me!
Kim
Kim,
I was hoping you would come. :) You can always come the night before and visit we will have people here watching the pig. ;D
Tammy
I gotta change my RSVP. :-\ I just got called to go do a music festival in California, in Santa Cruz. I'm bummed that I'll miss out on the festivities this year. :( I'll be sure to bring the FF hat along on my trip out to Yosemite though. ;)
You can cut down on the amount of food you're planning to provide, Jeff. ;)
I'll be there
wouldn't miss the piggy roast, don't know how many will be coming with me right now but you can add one plate to the table for sure ;)
I will be there and have 1.5 in tow. I'll bring along some of my salsa and maybe some home "brewed" refreshments if thats agreeable. Its only 2 hours away by mapquest so we'll just head home later.
79.5
I am holding off on my answer until I am 100% sure , got canned goods from my grandma and logs for sawing to bring but I have to finish swathing ,combining,baling . Thats the only thing in my way right now from doing a cannonball in jeffs pool !
Tammy,
That does sound tempting, but unfortunately, I also have a training session the week before. So much for the myth of school teachers having the summer off! That'll be my third week of summer training! Just one more after that before school starts. ARGH!
Is it any wonder that I had 187 hours of professional development last year? I'll probably have that much before this school year starts...
If it were on Sunday, I could probably bring my beau with me.
But it isn't, so I guess we'll have to look forward to next year.
Thats the first that I heard of the pool . Now I might have to try to get out of work . Pig and pool , pig and pool . splash.

Well, just think of the time your going to save not having to bathe.... :D :-X
Hey, I noticed that there seems to be someone/thing missing. Does anyone know if Spanky is coming?
Tammy

That is good but the map does not givethe names of the cross streets ,etc . What is the Prairie Gold colored strip running down the middle ?
Don
Have you tried 'zooming' in on the map, as the names of all the streets come up then (for me, anyway). :)
Now Tammy you should know better than to think I would leave Spanky at home. He is "quivering" with excitment about coming to the roast! Now for the real questoin.
Are you bringing some of those mouth watering, body quivering brownies? Those were the best!
:D 8)
Never tried that , Beenthere , I'll give it a shot . The names on the street do help one find a place , so that had me puzzled as to how do I get there.
I updated the link above to show the map zoomed. Now you will have to zoom out. :D
Here is a link that shows the satellite view. (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=3210+Bischoff+Rd,+Harrison,+MI+48625&spn=0.018346,0.037997&t=k&hl=en)
KirkAllen
Of Course, I'm bringing brownies!!!
Tammy
Jeff,
Are we supposed to parachute in ???
I thought we would just follow the smoke @ the aroma from that piggy cookin'.
FYI, I changed my profile pic to our favorite portrait ( thirteen years of marriage and we have never sat in front of one of those profesional pic guys) that a friend took some years ago......... wanted yall to know what we look like before we get to the piggy roast ;D ;D :D
I just plugged in my address and clicked on directions. 8) The map routes me through Chicago but prolly quicker through the UP. Still, a bit much for a weekend trip. ;D Have fun everyone, looking forward to the pictures
Toms coming! I'm not sure if he knows it yet but his wife and I do! :D I even know when I am picking him up at the airport. 8)
Whoo hoo 8)
There will be stories in da circle :)
Hot DanG!! I know now!
It's going to be white knuckler from Jacksonville to Chicago. They don't even give you peanuts anymore, I hear. I think I'll stop at the Burger King and take a meal with an aroma so everybody will stare at me. :D :D
Looks like my schedule has cleared up and I'll be able to attend. Our sales manager and customer service manager and their wives will be coming also. See ya there. 8)
I just found out that I'll be able to make it to the Piggy Roast! Now I hope I can find a room at this late date. I reckon I best wash my cap. 8)
That's great, but just know Tom not wantin to hear that, cause now he will have to behave his'self cause his brother will be there. :D
Are you swimming across the lake? Or go over the top again?
I'll come down through the UP again like I did last year. I'll be close to Chet's stompin' grounds. Tom knows that behaving won't do any good around me. I can take the most mundane thing that he does and turn it into a whopping good story. And the story will get better year after year after year. ;D
Great! This is exciting. I can hardly wait to see you again. :)
It'll be great to see you too Tom! I hear you are supposed to be on your best behavior. :D
I bet ya never seen that before have ya Charlie! ;D
Actually Furby.......and I'll never admit it out loud.......but growing up Tom was better behaved than me. But I figger I got it all out of my system. Now I've got to watch out for him in his old age 'cause he ain't hit the wild stage yet......... ::)
:D :D :D :D :D
You are a good little brother Charlie! ;)
Charlie must have been them PEAS he fed ya that mellowed you out!!!
Hearing that Arky was coming to the Pigroast, I searched a bit to learn how to converse in the Arky language.
Found this, for those interested in the same. :)
http://www.slanguage.com/littlerock.html
Its VERY easy to speak like that. I talk like that every time i say sumpin. ;D
20 some odd years of sperience living there! :D :D :D
The problem is you a thinking that I think as slow as I speak. Most of the time I a figgiering if'n theys a worth speaking to afor I say much. ::) Pa always said words is like bullets and once shot are gone and will hit what is ever in front of them and most of the time words are like 'backy juice, you gots to get it up to spit it out clean and once spit, you usaly don't want it back so aim well.
Also when you hear one of us say "Hey Ya'll! Whatch this" best get the video camera going as something really cool is fixing to happen. :o
I put my address in to see if there was a better way to get there from here and It says I have to start 7 miles from home. ??? Wonder if I quite paying taxes how many years it will take them to find me?
Arky that starting point seven miles from home wouldn't have anything to do with those revenooers would it?

If'n they throw'n a "hold my beer" when they says it, y'all better back up a mite too. ;D
:( :( :( :( Man I wish Kitty and I were coming. It sounds like the whole gang (or is it gaggle) is going to be there. Problem is, we're both going to be at a PIG ROAST. 8)
We have one here at the farm every 2 years and it happens to fall on the same day. We set the date over a year ago so people could plan and got "locked-in". So far we have 75 confirmed RSVPs and only one (besides me) that has a his own sawmill. Wonder if they'll miss us if we're not here? ??? ::) ??? ::)
Got to go to the butcher and pick up the pig.
Have fun........ :)
