    Is there anything planned this year?

    Mod Note:

    Yes! :D
    The 'official' address of the grove is 5420 N Forest Glen Ave, Chicago

    Hi Joel,

    Thanks, for reaching out and for offering to assist (via pm). We do have a date/permit set -- Sunday September 18 at Forest Glen Forest Preserve -- but before we make it 'official,' I think it'd be wise to gauge interest and see what kind of attendance we could expect. To that end, I've moved this thread to Events, where it's likely to garner more views, and we'll see what goes from here.

    Thanks again,

    So far, it's a fairly intimate affair but I get the feeling that will change. :D

    Presuming we get a bit more established -- and know for sure that we're a go -- we can make a list of what everyone would like to bring.

    And eventually I'll post a reminder of all the FPCC rules, regulations, etc.

    Thanks, all. Really hoping we can pull it off this year.

    The only thing that is unsettling is how soon it will be September!!!

    But I can't imagine missing this. Have it on my calendar. Thanks for getting this rolling.

    Agreed. When I purchased the permit back in November of last year, this seemed so far away and yet here it comes, right around the corner. Really glad you can make it. :)

    I believe there are no other events which would have me away from Chicago this weekend. :?
    As blurbed in another thread on LTHF, I have partially opened 12-packs of 12-oz. soda cans which I did not like at all which would be offered here if this occurred, and I am seemingly being called on this. :mrgreen:
    So put me down for "yes".

    Sounds great. Have you considered making it on-site? Thinking that would likely provide the best results, though it could be a logistical challenge.

    I'm trying to decide between my favorite African bean dish and an intriguing Turkish bean dish I've never made before. But either way, beans.

    Mom, Dad and I plan to attend. Which combo ultimately attends varies with people's shifting moods at the time.

    At the very least, I will bring a watermelon from South Dakota.

    Jonathan, Audrey, & I will attend. Looking forward to it.

    I have something sweet in mind to bring that is moderately labor intensive so hopefully my sous, Audrey, will lend a hand. Jonathan will just show up and eat. :D
