4th of July cook out

Post by bdpaco on Sun Jun 07, 2009 3:14 pm

Thinking of going to the Henryville Forestry down the road from me for a cookout for the 4th..anyone want to get together and hang out there for the day..they have 5-6 lakes for fishing, ball courts and we could play corn hole or whatever...figure everyone can bring their own food and drinks and a couple of us can pitch in and do the grilling for everyone...not 100% sure if alcohol is allowed, i will look into it...
