Different spot than last year, but still very close.

This year we will be at the Wilcox Lake Rec Area, on the north side of Hines Dr, just east of Northville Rd.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Montegoman has once again reserved us a pavilion so we’ll be prepared rain or shine. On !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! you will will see two structures, a green-roofed one to the north and a brown-roofed one to the south. The green one by the playground is our pavilion. (The brown one is restrooms.)

To help offset the cost of reserving the pavilion (this one was a little more than last year’s), we’re asking for a $10 contribution per head.

The date will be Saturday, May 19th . Time will be mid-day, say 12-4pm. Just like last time, this will be just kind of an informal hang-out/picnic sort of thing. Feel free to come and go as you please, but I’d encourage you to stick around for a little Concours d’Oppos .

And let’s do the potluck thing again! That worked out pretty well last time. If you can make it this year, please pick an item from the following list. I will try to keep this list updated, but check the comments first to see if someone else has already claimed the item that you want to bring.

Charcoal, lighter fluid

...OR a portable gas grill? Might work better than the park one (IdiotInTheGarage)

Grill tools (MontegoMan)

Hamburgers (Alphadogg14/Bouldaru)

Hamburger buns (Alphadogg14/Bouldaru)

Hotdogs

Hotdog buns

Condiments

Paper plates/napkins (UramboTauro)

Drinks (IdiotInTheGarage)

Once the above items are spoken for, you can still contribute with any kind of snack or side dish. (And yes, of course you’re welcome to volunteer for more than one item.)

(Note: there is no on-site power, so we won’t be able to plug in any crock-pots or the like. Also, alcohol policy: It’s a Wayne County Park so they control the rules. Beer is allowed in bottle or can form, but no kegs. We’d like to keep it a family friendly event in case anyone wants to bring family along with them. So if you’re going to drink, drink responsibly. And of course, standard Oppo “be excellent” rules will apply.)

Hope to see you there!

The more people we get the lower the “per head” cost. I plan on bringing a Coors light mini keg grill. It can be used and then we’ll find a fun way to give it away! Or if someone has a portable gas we’ll still give away the brand new and then not used keg grill.

I can bring grill tools too!

To be clear - I’m bringing a charcoal keg grill that I’m happy to give away in a raffle or as a prize or something used or not used it can go home with someone else we won it and don’t need it. If someone has a propane one it’ll be a lot easier.

Oops, I must have misunderstood your previous message. I’ve edited the list, just in case someone has a gas grill they can bring.

Barring any surprise family plans, I’ll attend and bring drinks again (but way less than last year).

I’ve got a tiny gas grille I’ve barely ever used that will probably work even if its been sitting around for the last 8-9 years.....

Also I practically live next to the location, so I can scope it out if need be.

First time seeing this, pretty sure I’m free so I’ll try to make it out this year!

As long as weather holds out i think ill make it on the bike.

I didn’t know you guys were in the Detroit area.
I’m not going to be there for that (ACEN is this weekend), but I’d be down for catching up during Woodward.
I was at Woodward last year in dogapult’s Alto Works, and plan on bringing my small block-swapped ‘86 S10 to Woodward this year.

If the weather holds out, I’ll definitely be there in the Mustang. I am in fact able to drive it, I just need the roads to be dry. And yes, I’m washing it before Saturday.

I’m getting my wisdom teeth pulled the day before and will be on house arrest/recovery for the whole weekend so I won’t be able to make it. If there’s a second one planned soon (Dream Cruise....), sign me up first.

Take it easy after the wisdom teeth, it effects everyone differently.

Yup, I’ll be checking on it and when Saturday comes, I’ll bring whatever’s left unclaimed.

It’s possible, but if I have time to go to a “car meet” I have time to work in my dad’s shop.....And I don’t wanna do the latter. Depends on how I feel, but if I can sneak out for a couple hours.... we’ll see.

A drive clears your mind and takes it off the soreness :)
