So each WKC member that attends will be able to submit their name in a hat for prizes.

One prize will be a Weber WOK


Weber Original Bear Claw Shredders


We are also looking into some other door prizes to hand out.

I will be bringing a stack of Weber's Big book of burgers that I will be selling for $10.  This will help recoup some of the cost of the prizes and event.
I am not a collector, but I do have a small collection.

That's a great idea.
I might have to find someone to handle that, I'm not sure if I can make it now :\

Well it looks like the plotting and scheming is going to work, I went from 10% showing to very likely 90%.

I will be bringing my 12 and 9 yr old boys with me.  We will be heading out in the morning on Saturday and staying somewhere that evening and coming back home on Sunday.

@Craig please tell me we are going to see you there.


Hotel room booked this morning. It's a go!

Yay, you finally get to meet another WKC member in person! I'm so excited for you.

So just to reiterate, I'm going to provide Pop and Water, I'll have ice and Kingsford on hand, as well as a few coolers.  I'll have grills to grill on.  If you want something special to drink, or special charcoal you will have to bring that.  It would be nice to have a list of people who plan to show up and weather or not they are going to cook something.  It's always nice to show off some of your cooking handy work, but not necessary.  I myself will prob not cook anything as I'll be to busy to have any time to throw anything together.....unless no one is gonna cook then I'll be forced to cook some hotdogs or something........Lets plan on noon but if your a little later no prob.....Ernie usually shows up in the afternoon :^)  As always old grills are welcome....

I was thinking about stopping by for a while to meet some fellow kettle heads and check out some of the grills on display. I don't have any old enough / nice enough kettles for displaying.

addicted to charcoal...

I will be making the voyage out from NY. I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone. I don't think I will be cooking anything unless I can figure out a way to bring it with me in a cooler on the train. I will, however, be bringing Apple Smoked Gouda Cheese from my family's dairy.

I can't wait to see the 18.5 red Wood Dale that Brian restored. The last time I saw it, it was just a box full of rusty parts.

Hey Guys...let's keep this list running and up to date to make things easier for Brian so he can plan accordingly and account for food we will have for the event.  Please copy and paste and add your names with # of guests.  It wouldn't hurt either if anyone that is able to could bring a bag of ice for all the coolers!
