2nd Annual WKC Chicago meet up

[Jeff]

Hey Guys....looks like we are going to have to change the plans for this meet-up due to the weather forecast.   They are calling for heavy rain overnight and into the morning, with more storms and heavy rain in the afternoon and evening.  I talked to Brian and he thought it best to re-schedule rather than have everyone come (including the out of towners) only to have a miserable time and not even be able to cook with all the rain.  The date we have selected is Saturday, August 2nd, with the following Saturday, (the 9th) as a fall back date. 
I'm hoping this doesn't affect too many of you to be able to come on the 2nd.  Hopefully you'll all be able to still come, and those that couldn't make the 12th...can now attend the new date.

Brian had some really unique door prizes, but I'll let him elaborate on that more later.

More to come later from Brian guys.  Sorry.

Understood, and I'll try to make it back for the fun, but it's going to be tight as I'll just be settling in to my new digs in Odenton, MD. Someone will have to step up into the photojournalist role. Maybe Gummi will find his way back that weekend?

A least I can have leftover pulled pork (from the 4th bash in PA) for diner tonight!

August 2 works for me. 9th, not so much.

Thanks for offering to fly me out, Marty. Please send the funds to my paypal account and I will be glad to take those pictures for you.

So if there is any confusion the meet up has been washed out in Chicago today, but it has been rescheduled for Aug 2nd.

I feel like I need to do an update.....

I felt so bad that the last one got washed out, that I dug deep into the vaults and came up with two more grills to give away as door prizes.  There will be a mini smoker that I made, it's pretty nice, a jumbo, that I will have a custom wood handle for and the 26 Chief.  Here are a few pictures....








These are leaving my yard on Aug 2!  Some come on by and see if it's you that will be lucky....

Aside form the door prizes I have it on good authority that there will be at least 7 Wood Dales on display, as well as at least 30 other classic Webers....if you live close I hope you can make it.  If you live far....I hope you can make it.  Everyone is welcome, it's in two weeks.  If it rains this time bring your rain coat, we will make the best of it

 Both items are rapidly becoming traditional favorites for meetups..............

[zavod44]

Maybe 1:00? 

[Jeff]

The bigger question...what time will we be going till?

[glrasmussen]

Awesome door prizes. Like that the HC is undercover staying clean!

[zavod44]

HC is as clean as the day I got it....maybe someone can cook on it at the meet up....

[Brickout]

I'll be there and I'm pretty sure I'm making doinks to cook.

Great, I have at least 30 grills to cook on.  From Wood Dales to a brand new copper one touch I just got.  I have 18s" to 26ers, performers an old Seville, rotisseries even one for the 26", got an old ranch.  Please come and cook on this stuff.  I have a particular 18 than needs to be cooked on...it will be another chapter in a story that's at least 50 years old...I don't have too many that I just won't cook on.   A few but not many.....
