Michigan CHICKENSTOCK returns for 2023

[troyer]

There's a Michigan thread?? I don't know if I would be able to make it but I'm definitely wanting to know how to find the Michigan thread. I've been here for a couple years and still have trouble navigating sometimes.

Thanks!!

I spoke to the HR person at work and asked if we could get donation of hot dogs, buns, and such. Or a store gift card. I was told that each store has a budget for this kind of thing but the support is limited to each store's local area.

Since our CS23 is in Lansing, she said that we should contact the area Meijer for a support request. Is there anyone locally that would be willing to contact the Meijer store director and make a formal request for a donation to our annual picnic?

I am counting on going. Trying to figure ut how to warm up the food. I will make a ork roast [PR style] and rice with pigeon peas which is our main plate. Rose, would you text me a total amount of people once you have it? Maybe 2 -3 days before. Love you!

The pavilion has electrical outlets for crockpots and stuff. I usually bring a power strip with me.

Wow, cool. I'm down in Cleveland but if I'm available to make the drive that weekend, I will.

You'd surely be welcome!

So, I'm just seeing this (just joined) and my husband works for the company who owns ballpark buns. He should be able to secure them. How many would you need?

Should I bring some of my Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies?

 

[Folly's place]

Definitely yes!

I'll plan on bringing three dozen unless that seems like too few.
