October 2019 Club Meeting and Cookout

[Fierofool]

Our October Club Meeting and Annual Cookout will be on October 12 and will be held at the RH Burel Pavillion in Downtown Auburn, Ga.  GPS address is 1369 4th Avenue, Auburn, Ga. 30011.

This picnic is for everyone, especially family.  You don't have to be a dues paid member to attend.  Each person or family is asked to bring a dish.  The club usually buys the meats and buns but members bring all the side dishes. 

If you are a casual browser of our website and canpt post because you're not registered and would like to join us, email us at GeorgiaFieroClub@Gmail.Com  You are certainly welcome. 

Our official start time is 12 Noon and we have the pavilion until 5 PM.  On the same day, the city holds a yard sale on 4th Avenue.  This usually covers 2 full blocks and 4th Avenue is closed to traffic.  Our pavilion is not a part of the yard sale area and there is free access with our vehicles.

Below are a few pictures of the area. 

From Burel Park in front of City Hall.  The pavilion can be seen in the distance, across a main road that separates it from the yard sale.


Looking through Burel Park from the area of the pavilion.  The Police Department is about halfway down the block. 


Looking at the Whistlestop Shops from the pavilion grounds.  The shops are a mixture of small shops with foods, hand made jewelry and crafts, clothing, photography, and many other items.  There are 11 shops and each provides a different service or product.  There is also a restroom in that area.


On the opposite corner of the block is a fully fenced children's park and playground.


Each person is asked to bring a dish and serving utensils for that dish if required.

Thanks for setting this up.

The question now is, who plans to attend?

Of course, this is 3 months away, but we should start a list of who is bringing what.

[GTRS Fiero]

This one may as well be added to the calendar also.

I just noticed that this is not on the calendar.

We will need a gas grill for cooking.  At one time there were two charcoal grills at the pavilion but they have been removed.  If anyone has a grill we can use, I'll gladly pick it up within a week before the picnic, and I will return it afterward.

We can use mine

[Fierofool]

I could pick it up a week earlier, that way you could drive your Fiero, unless you're also bringing the girls.

Probably just myself and Leigh-Ann

To all members and non-members, this annual picnic is a family affair.  Even if you're just an occasional browser of our website, you're welcome to come.  Just bring a side dish of some kind. 

Please don't make this a guys-only event.  Bring the ladies along and the children, too.  There are other things for your interest if you get bored with car talk.  Community flea market across the street, curio shops across the street and a children's playground on the other corner of the block. 

We have a nice grassy area around the pavilion to display our cars for the hundreds of people that will be within view of us.  It's good exposure for the club.

So that we have enough hamburger and hot dogs, I will need to know how many will be attending the cookout.  I don't want to buy too much meat nor do I want to come up short. 

If you would, please post here with the number of people in your party who will be attending the cookout.  I will plan for 2 hamburgers and 2 hot dogs for each person.  If each person brings a side dish, there should be no reason for anyone to leave hungry. 

Please let us know by the weekend of October 5 and 6.

If you want, you can even post the side dish you will bring. 

Mike and Pat, tell me which if any of these items the club should buy.
I'll mark things out if they are selected by anyone.

I plan on being there. My daughter may come, but I'm not sure at this time.
I think the club should supply plasticware, plates, napkins, etc., so they are all the same.
Edit: Just found out that my daughter can't come.

[MikeMac]

I can bring both sliced and diced onions. I can get the condiments at Costco or Sam's Club. Mayo, mustard, relish etc.
I will be there with my Wife.

The home page should probably be updated to advise about the picnic.

The home page should probably be updated to advise about the pucnic.

It has been showing on my view of the home page for quite some time. Not sure about that.

[Fierofool]

I haven't looked at the home page on my phone but on all my other devices, it's showing on the home page.  I think it's in the calendar, too.
