Midwest FurFest is delighted to announce The Second Annual Midwest FurFest Summer Picnic! As with last year, this event is designed to bring the local community together outside of the usual November convention and to celebrate the wonderful spirit of the local furry folks. Where and when will you find this nifty picnic? Why, immediately following the July LAFF Softball game on July 17, 2010, at Prairie Springs Park at Lake Andrea, Pleasant Prairie, WI! There is an awesome picnic pavilion located right by the softball field, so the picnic will take place rain or shine. We've got plans for a traditional cookout, including burgers, hot dogs, and chicken breasts, as well as tasty side dishes and desserts. Did I mention the appetizers? Last year during the afternoon we had some fun with tasty grilled appetizers for folks to taste, including asparagus wrapped in prosciutto with lemon, jalapeno peppers stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped with bacon, and grilled pineapple and bananas. We're planning on working hard to top that this year! As announced last weekend at Furry Connection North, the picnic this year will feature the first-ever cooking competition between furry conventions! Yes, Gir Tygrin and the FCN crew will be taking on Takaza and the MFF crew for a head-to-head burger battle! Whose cuisine will reign supreme? We'll find out! We'll also have many members of the Midwest FurFest staff at the picnic (heck, you already see many of them at every softball game anyway!) and we'll be happy to talk about the convention, answer any questions you might have, and help you make plans for the convention! Even though it's free, RSVP's will be very important for this event to make sure that we have enough food for everyone. Watch this space for information on how to RSVP as the picnic draws closer. We hope to see you then! _______________________________________________ Laff-announce mailing list Laff-announce@catbox.com posts appear with the original msg on the calendar at http://www.catbox.com/laffcal check the calendar before posting questions about events on the list. http://www.breuckman.com/mailman/listinfo/laff-announce
