I'm doing a short demo and food tasting at this tuesday's wake up reception taking place at the visitor's center. It's open to everyone so if you are in the area, stop over! I'll be doing some wings in the new pit for sampling.

It's 930-1030am.

Not sure if I fully answered people asking earlier - Yes there are campsites nearby and actually on the grounds of the 7 points recreation area. You can make reservations at the following link - http://raystown.nab.usace.army.mil/Camping/seven_points_camp.htm

If you have any questions, you can feel free to contact myself via PM although it's safe to ask here, or you can call Ed Stoddard at 888-RAYSTOWN x11. He is my partner in setting this up.

Thanks!

Sal - we doing a seafood boil at this comp? I've been thinking of netting a bunch of crayfish here locally for my own boil! lol. That greenlane boil last year has been craving another!

1. It’s a Small World
   An International Potluck with specialties from around the world creates a bold, engaging atmosphere. Invite a smorgasbord of Italian, French, German, African, Moroccan, Indian, Canadian, Greek, Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, or Thai cuisine into your menu. From an authentic antipasto salad to a Chinese chicken slaw, the possibilities are endless!
2. Mexican Fiesta
   Everything about the Mexican Potluck emphasizes family, friends and tradition. Tortilla chips & guacamole, taco shells, refried beans, seasoned shredded chicken or ground beef, fajitas, enchiladas, Spanish rice and diced mango will really give your potluck old world sizzle.
3. Breakfast for Dinner
   A Breakfast Potluck featuring an assortment of rich and delicious breakfast items is always a huge crowd pleaser. Pancakes, eggs, bacon, hash browns, biscuits, country ham, French toast, coffee cake, sausage, cheese quiche and a variety of jellies, jams and syrups will have even your finicky eaters asking for seconds.
4. Southern BBQ
   There are few things in the South more universally revered than good southern barbecue potluck. A good old plentiful potluck may include culinary delights like cornbread squares or muffins, baked beans, bbq pulled pork or beef sandwiches, cole slaw, macaroni & cheese, peach cobbler or cherry pie.
5. Alphabet Soup
   With 26 letters to choose from, pick one and run with it! Things that start with "C" may become a creative cornucopia that can include chili, chowder, chicken, carrots, cauliflower, calamari, chips, cucumbers, corn, couscous, cake, coconut, cookies, curly fries, chocolate and candy.
6. Memory Lane
   A Comfort Food Potluck has its own unique style and invokes feelings of nostalgia and warmth. Home style favorites like macaroni and cheese, chicken & dumplings, chili, mashed potatoes, pork chops & gravy, meatloaf, apple pie and chocolate chip cookies are a few potluck hall of famers.
7. Heart & Soul
   A Soul Food Potluck is a tasteful delight for all to experience and enjoy at least once, and this creative theme is a favorite among cooks and food lovers alike. Potluck showstoppers may include fried chicken, pork ribs, succotash, corn bread, okra, black eyed peas, shrimp and grits, fried green tomatoes, collard greens and beans over rice.
8. Giving Thanks
   It doesn’t have to be Thanksgiving Day to give thanks and host a party that features all of your holiday favorites. Even if you get a new twist on an old classic, roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, yams, green bean casserole and pumpkin pie can be enjoyed all year round.
9. The Last Meal
   This unique potluck theme lets your guests choose any item to bring… as long as it begins with the first letter of their last name. Sarah Smith can bring spaghetti, Barbara Brown can bring buffalo wings, Mary Martin can bring mud pie and so on….and so on.
10. Barnyard Fun
    For a fun down-home feel, you can enjoy a collection of dishes made from anything you would find on a farm. This theme offers a wide variety of food, from vegetarian to meat-inspired, plus the usual range of desserts and breads. There is a lot to choose from but popular meals are barnyard stew, chicken pot pie, roasted pork, sliced turkey, creamed corn, fresh fruits and vegetables, egg salad and zucchini bread to name a few.
