ummm normally I would but not today cause people can't understand me, got a cold. sorry

 

no worries i got it

 

Here is the low down for the ho down
The Elephant Room at Washington Park (covered Picnic spot)is open from 3pm to 9pm on Oct 4th. The cost is $58.25 to reserve it with a $15 application fee. The question is this where we want to do it and is the price ok? Let me know soon.

 

I'm ok with that....

 

=) how bout a scion dealership sponsorship?

 

do they have bbq thingymajiggers?
and yeah a dealership sponsership would B cool
but if not i think we could all toss in a few bucks

and i call dibbs on ribs n slaw! lol
pork ribs that is..

 

No they dont have abbq thingymajiggers, you have to bring your own. I have one of those Coleman Roadtrip grills and a big bottle of propane and propane accesories.
If we could get a scion dealership to sponsor us it would have to be one of the ones located in this district, zip code.

Thoughts??

 

The two nearest dealerships are Broadway Toyota and Beaverton Toyota.

But if no dealership involvement, I think if everyone chips in like $5-$10 that would cover the reservation fees at least.

 

I will chip in some $ if there is no Scion dealership to sponsor this. I wouldnt be able to give it to you until I get there since I am coming from Medford.

 

Here is a list of parks in the Portland area that have reservable picnic areas:

It might be nice to do this at a park near the rivers. Kelley Point Park and Willamette Park sound nice. I'll try to go check out Willamette Park tomorrow.

 

What about Blue Lake Park? That is in my area, so I could cover at least some of the expenses...

 

thats a great idea Kelly didn't think about that place..
(checking out their site now)
each registration also includes 2 hours of use on the softball field...

their prices aren't too bad

Blue Lake would be a great place! Great suggestion Kelly! Sponsorship from the dealership would rock!

 

I looked at their site too...There are a couple of covered places that look like they would work. Also have volleyball courts to use...

Just an idea, but it is a beautiful park, right on the river...

I think it is a great idea...we could have a goodbye to summer BBQ! And, I would actually get to attend, since I have some staff now!!

 

Anyone have a boat and skis or wakeboard? That would add to the fun.

 

that would be fun!!!! but rumor has it the water is gross????

yay Kelly would show up!! I vote blue lake now!!!

 

Ya so does is the Willamete, but still ski in it. Just a thought.

 

Alrighty then Blue Lake Park it is on Oct 4th. Is it the same contact number as washington park? We should try and snag one of the covered locations as soon as possible. Then all we need to do is work on the list of who is bringing what.

 

it not cause its not part of portland parks, but here is the contact info.. (i'd call but still can't be understood, I can email her though??)

Blue Lake! I forgot about that place, been so long since I've gone there. They used to have paddle boats for rent, not sure if they still do.
