Big Sandy, TX(Zone 8a)

We will be there, Maggi and I. I worked in Arlington for years and lived in east Fort Worth, so this is my old stomping ground. I wished I had a dollar for every friesbee I had caught in that park.

Josephine, Arlington, TX(Zone 8a)

It is a nice park, I go there every other day, I volunteer at the city greenhouse raising native plants for the Molly Hollar Wildscape.

About the grill, I had just
been thhinkin about
meking enchiladas and
letting them warm up on
the grill But if we dont
light up the grill I will rethink
what else to take..... go
with the flow ...

Josephine, Arlington, TX(Zone 8a)

Bajablue, since we start at noon, you can just bring your hot dish, we usually eat first thing, after we get situated.

Dallas, TX

I'll be there

(Elizabeth) DFW Area, TX

New to this, so newbie type questions coming up. ;)

How many people should I plan for the dishes to feed?

Is there electricity available for warming appliances?

Is anyone bringing coffee service? If not, is that something that would be welcome? (food service manager most of my adult life, so I tend to think up weird stuff ;)





Josephine, Arlington, TX(Zone 8a)

We usually don't warm anything up, and usually a main dish to serve 15 is sufficient, we normally have 4 or 5 main dishes, also usually no coffee, soft drinks, water and tea take care of things without complications.
I will be putting up a list for the food items, and people can pick what they want to bring.
I hope that answers your question, we try to keep it easy.
Looking for ward to meeting you,
Josephine.

(Elizabeth) DFW Area, TX

Okay, great - I'll sign up as soon as you post the list. Thanks for all the info! :)
