Title: 30 day countdown to the meetup
Post by: LightningBoldtz on September 15, 2022, 02:49:39 PM
Today marks 30 days, one month from the Chicago Weber Kettle meetup

Here is what to expect, Kettles, Kettles, and more Kettles.

We will be holding a raffle for the yellow 70th anniversary edition.
We will also have other prizes to raffle off. Prizes are still to be determined

Each person who comes that has an account on Wide World of Weber or the Weber Kettle Club gets a ticket for the grand prize.

If you come and cook something to share with the group you get 5 raffle tickets. 
For every kettle that you bring to display you get a raffle ticket. Excluding Smokey Joes.
*Note - These tickets cannot be used for the grand prize.

Raffle tickets will also be offered for sale for the grand prize or prizes on the table.  Final rules for these events are still in the works.

At a minimum bring yourself, if you want to cook something, great, if you want to bring kettles, great.  If not, just come and have a good time.

Noon and after has been the usual start time but if you need more time to cook something that shouldn't be a problem.

At this point,  I'm less than 50/50.  Depends if I can tie some work in the area leading to that weekend.  Sounds like a great time as usual for the Chicago meetup.

@AZ2FL @Fat Tony you coming?

The weekend of September 24th & 25th with hurricane Ian projected to make landfall in the Florida panhandle, about 40 miles east of the island. The decision was made to cancel my flight to Chicago.

Unfortunately I won't be attending.


My thoughts and prayers are with the people in SW Florida and the Carolina's.


Cheers
