Hello Everyone,
I have not been on this site in a long time and a lot has changed in my absence. I think I have figured out how to post a new thread, so here goes.
We will be hosting Octopelfest 2010 at our home on the weekend of October 8-10 and we are looking forward to seeing everyone and having the usual awesome time. There are no personal invitations to this event as it is open to all who wish to attend. Please post your thoughts on the date, food and beverage ideas, cruise or no cruise, lodging needs and anything else that floats through your mind.
We were going to hold the event on the weekend of October 1-3, but we became aware of a scheduling conflict with a fellow Opeler's meet, so we pushed it back a week. Does this work for all who are interested in attending?
We will provide the main dishes and attendees are welcome to bring along side dishes and deserts if they wish. We will also supply an ample amount of beverages to satisfy even the heartiest of thirsts. Personal favorites are also brought along by brewed beverage aficionados and this is one of our favorite parts of the event. It gives everyone an opportunity to try beers they have never experienced before.
As usual, we will welcome those who would prefer not to spend money on a hotel to stay here in our home. We will accomodate as many as possible inside and will offer camping spots in our back yard. We can supply a couple of tents along with cots and sleeping bags to those who don't possess camping paraphernalia or those who don't want to pack and transport theirs. I know things are really rough for a lot of people right now and I hope this encourages people to join us who otherwise would not due to lodging costs.
For anyone who has not attended an Octopelfest meet in the past, I can assure you it is a time filled with friendship, fun, food, relaxation and inebriation. Come and join the festivities.
