NorCal ECFest BBQ/Picnic - Sun Aug 21st - Vasona Park, Los Gatos

Hey Guys and Gals,

Time for another meet and this time, we're going back to Vasona Park in Los Gatos for another BBQ/picnic. I've reserved the Lakeview site which will accommodate up to 100 people. Unfortunatelhy it's not a full covered site as those were all booked but it does have partial shade from trees. Maybe you guys can bring portable canopies as well.

The plan is to arrive around 10AM and maybe take a drive through the Los Gatos hills (Bear Mtn Rd off Hwy 17 > Hwy 9 > Saratoga > back to park) and get back to the park well before noon to start grilling. Hopefully people who don't go on the drive can help set everything up. Family and friends are welcomed and we'll have a sign up list for food and drinks.

Here's the website showing all the activities and amenities at this park: Vasona Park

The cost of the site is $171 and I'm hoping to get $5-$10 from everyone to help cover the cost. I might also rent a jumper for the kids if it looks like people are bringing them.


ATTENDEES:
1) EuroCarFan - Tony
2) Swajames - Steve
3) ACG - Paul
4) CoolTones - Tony
5) olskooldj - Rex
6) Torquey5 - Dan
7) my530i - Fred
8) AngelSlayer - John

Okay folks, if you haven't done so, please confirm how many people you'll be coming with and if any of them are kids. I've been busy and didn't get a chance to look into getting a jumper but the park has lots of activities for kids including a small train that goes around the park and carousel nearby. Right now we have roughly 50 people including kids, give or take.

Please sign up to bring something from the below list or anything else you can think of. Some items will need more than one person to contribute, like BEER!!

Meats (Korean BBQ beef..etc..)
Chicken
Hot dogs – hot links and buns - ACG (hotlinks/buns)
Hamburgers and buns
Oysters – ECF

Sides:
Salads
Corn

Beverages:
Sodas
Water
Beer - Torquey5 (Coronas)
Juice

Miscellaneous:
Charcoal
Lighter fluid
Paper plates
Paper cups
Plastic utensils
Napkins
Cooler
Ice
Ketchup
Mustard
Relish
Dessert
Fruits

Guys, Jlevi SW has graciously offered to cover the cost of the site.

Very generous of them to support the event to help keep the car enthusiasm going.

Okay guys, here's the rough agenda for Sun:

9:30AM: Some of us are meeting at the Cars and Coffee location in Santana Row to caravan over to the park.
10AM: Head to park and meet at Lakeview site.
10:30AM: Head off for the drive

Whoever doesn't want to go on the drive can stay and enjoy the park and help set up the grill. The drive group should be back by around noon.

Hey Neil, think we need some juice for the kids, maybe whole corn, and probably some marinated chicken...and of course, more beer.

Think we got a case of Corona and Heineken so far. I prefer Corona but anything cold will do.
