Warren with his new bbq set is the only pic I got.
 
THE GATHERING WAS AMAZING! It was my first, my Wife, Bev came and Daughter #2, Amanda. The people were among the warmest, friendly and welcoming, I ever had the Privilege to meet!
This was the Third Gathering for most, so everybody knew each other. Being the Newbie, I worried that I would feel like an outsider. The complete opposite is true. ALL the members and their Wives bentover backward to make sure my family and I wanted for nothing. I would not call the PA Group friends...THEY ARE NOW MY FAMILY! Thanks to all for the GREATEST time I havever hand in over a Decade!...JJ

pc farmer pc farmer I wanted to let you know that Bev and Amanda were exceptionally Impressed with your Son! He was a compete Gentleman during conversation with the girls. Polite is a term rarely describing young men his age. He made a tremendous impression on us all. Congratulations to you and Laura for a job well done!...JJ

It was a pleasure meeting you, wife and daughter. I am so glad you enjoied your time here. You gave out some good info to Denny, I know that on the flank steak.

He is a very nice young boy to others. You should hear him now on his ps4 after being short on sleep.
 
Thank you to Farmer and his family for hosting the event, and having us all invade his home for a while. It was a good time with good food, and most importantly good people. Thank you all the members and their families for making a new guy feel welcomed. I'll be looking forward to next year!

Thanks IH. Glad you had a good time. I checked the roof BTW.
Hope you will be back and bring the family.



Once again, a HUGE THANK YOU to Adam & Laura and John & Pam for their hospitality. My wife and I had a tremendous time at our 2nd gathering. It was great to meet and chat with Chef JJ and his family and IH 1026. Also great to see Warren & Sharon again as well as Smokin Peachy and his wife, Katie. The wife was sorry she missed them. A special THANK YOU to Adam & Warren for all of your hard work in putting this event together. Adam's family and friends are a terrific group of people. AWESOME fireworks by Mark. OUTSTANDING !!

We all did it again Gator. We all work together. Somehow it all works out. LOL.

Mark loves fireworks. He does a great job with them. I was helping putting them off so no pics of them.

If you keep doing it, we'll keep coming. Glad to have a part in it. You and Warren did the all of heavy work - nice job!
 
I had to check up on everything Bear was wondering what was going on. At least I took a picture and shared some rub!

Thats all I got. Thanks for the members that came. We are all wore out but had a great time. We had maybe 30 people Saturday and still had food leftover. I couldnt do this without Halfsmoked doing the planning, bring his smoker and Gator coming again and his smoker. I need to get better at that and taking pics. Another PA gathering in the books. Hope to see you all and more next year.
 
Everyone that came brought some kind of sides. We had sides out our a**. chef jimmyj chef jimmyj That tuna mac salad was great and the cupcakes were awesome. Didnt have a chance to try the dip. Thanks again for coming. Hope to see you again next year.

Thanks Adam. The Chicken wings had a great flavor with Bite-Through Skin.
I can't thank you enough for that Special Treat!!! The BEAR BURGERS were amazing! I am not a fan of Well Done but, OMG were these good. Great flavor and very juicy. One of the best burgers, of any animal, I have eaten. I'd come next year just for Bear Burgers...
There was one thing missing...One of GATOR240 GATOR240 's Sam Adams Oktoberfest Beers. Thank you my Brother for sharing the bounty. They were great.
Everything was Great...JJ

GATOR240 GATOR240 was handing them Oktoberfest beers out like candy. LOL
