Well believe it or not this is the time of year that I start planning the BBQ for Sun-N-Fun. It takes me awhile to tie up all the loose ends so that I have as little as possible to do during the show. As most of you know I started this event as a builder just wanting to share a good evening with other builders, but it has become somewhat of a monster from day one, with the first year having over 80 people in attendance. I don’t mind at all either, I cover all costs for the BBQ and put out a donation jar, so far I have broken even with donations from each of you and from Jabiru USA, homebuilthelp.com and of course Jim at sportplanes.com ( my heartfelt condolences goes out to his family) also kicking in is Flightcrafters. However, I do not accept a donation from Zenith or any of the Heintz family I’m just happy that they have chosen to attend every year since this event is not affiliated with the company,. Well it was never supposed to be, but as Can-Zac now I can hardly say there is not company involvement. The first year we have dogs and burgers with many people bringing dessert and salads ( don’t forget the strawberries), last year we had dogs and burgers with chicken wings and roasted corn. The pop went too fast and 250 plates disappeared real fast. Flightcrafters brought a massive cake and the strawberries were there again. But what I need from you folks are idea’s on what was good and what was bad? Do you want to see more of something? I tossed up the idea of a pig roast, but that is a hell of a lot of work for a Canadian to pull off. So I’m open for suggestions. I would also like the chance to firm up some salads and desserts this year so that everyone has a full belly.
Just a final word, all this is possible with the Generous help From Rick Roberts and his crew. Though Rick now lives in Georgia his crew are still in Florida and are willing to help out with the BBQ,s and all the cooking, which for two guys not in the aviation world is beyond gracious and I can never say Thanks enough to those gents. The campsite will remain the same as last year and is held for us by Jim Hoak. Remember folks this is for you folks to meet other people of like interests, lets see how big we can make it in April 19 2007

All,
if you are expecting 80 plus people, pigs are out as you will need at least 120lbs worth (they shrink). CHicken is easy. ONe option is to hire a group with a Bar BQ roaster, order the food and let them cook it. We do it for our neighborhood here in St. Petersburg. 75 people on average, and everyone pays for the dinner.

Mark,
I'm planning to take my Travel Trailer and camp in the campground again this year and if possible in the same location. Also I'll do my best to "HOARD" enough space again. That is the hardest part because space for campers gets critical and the "Campground Cops" always come by and question us about the large open area next to my camper. I recruit one or more of my workshop volunteers and friends to put their gear in the area with "LEGAL" stickers then move them at the last minute to make space. It worked.
Long story short, I hope CAN-ZAC, Rick and all are able to make it work again. Remember, as a backup, I can always get a place down next to the pond at Gene and Debby Jacksons "BIG" tent. They "DO" roast a BIG PIG every year for hundreds of folks. Debby is now one of the volunteers in my Metal Workshop.
I think salads would be great. However I sure don't have enough space in my camper refrigerator for them though. They would have to be delivered "just in time" to make it work.
