I'm sure Bill and Darcy would have no problem lending their oven. I'll ask them tonight to confirm -

Just checking in, Folks! How are we looking? Cooking competition....I wasn't there last year, but we had talked about choosing a meat genre (Beef, Pork, Chicken, etc...) instead of the traditional "rib cookoff". How do we feel about this year's comp? Do we want to stick with a Rib Cook off... -

@Fueling Around I think we are going to look more into Outdoorsy.com next year, with alot of life and fiscal changes in the last year, i'm saving some pennies this year :) I'll keep an eye out though for any last minute deals if they pop up -

Adding Dirk to Post #1, glad we've got more coming :) No worries on the snack sticks either way. I would need to decide if i'm bringing my trailer smoker or a trailer with golf cart and barrel smoker. Depends if we need additional smoker space for the group or not? @carol506 / @JckDanls 07 -... -

Hey all! Glad to see people are booking! I've been asked by pretty much everyone about the "no alchohol" rule, i think keith is right...it's just a cover your ass rule (i hope). I have another group i have done a yearly camping trip in Goethe Forest for 14 years and they state no booze...but we... -

i've called Hardee 5 times and left 3 voicemails, no contact. But let's go ahead and book! :) I believe Bill and Darcy are looking to book #30 today. We'll plan to put a tent on their site. -
14th Annual South Florida Gathering 2025 (12/12-12/14 2025)
Called Hardee again today and left another message. i want to ask them if tents are OK on a RV spot and i want to ask if we can get a group rate :) I'm going to call again tomorrow but if i dont get ahold of anyone maybe we just book? i'm going to update the title and Post#1 now, thanks for the... -
14th Annual South Florida Gathering 2025 (12/12-12/14 2025)
We are shooting for the 2nd weekend of December, 12-14. So maybe the 26-30 section is more ideal Keith? I'm getting nervous as well, that's why i wanted to go ahead and get something booked. I just called and got their answering machine. Waiting for a call back or i'll try again in a hour or 2 -
14th Annual South Florida Gathering 2025 (12/12-12/14 2025)
Hey all, I'm planning to go ahead and book at Hardee Lakes tomorrow, i want to call in the AM and ask if I can put my tent on a RV site. If that's allowed, i'll have Bill and Darcy (Miranda's parents) go ahead and book their site so we can piggyback off them. I'll also ask about cancellation... -

14th Annual South Florida Gathering 2025 (12/12-12/14 2025)
Hey all! Sorry, i didnt see so much messaging on the thread but good to see! Spoke to Keith last week on the phone...i'm thinking Hardee sounds like the place to go if everyone is on board with that. I dont mind a little dust and Keith said this campground doesnt book as quickly as others...
