To celebrate summer and blogging, come join us in the Portland, Oregon, area! We're hosting the first ever Blog-b-que at the home of Lorelle VanFossen in North Plains, Oregon, on Sunday, August 30, 2009, and you are welcome to join us.
We're inviting WordPress, WordPress.com, and all bloggers (and web and social media fans) to a picnic party on Sunday, August 30, starting at noon and going until we wear out or run out of food and fun! The theme of the party is "Summer Food" and you are invited to bring food and drinks that remind you of summer.
Bring something to sit on, sunscreen, sunglasses, and binoculars as this will be the final day of the famous Oregon International Airshow in Hillsboro. We have a fine view of the skies and areas west in the valley the planes fly through. We have a hot tub, so bring suits (and we have some to borrow).
We are limited to 75 attendees. Transportation information, carpools, and Trimet Blue Line Hillsboro train pickup all available and possible.
My husband just got a huge new outdoor grill. He's planning some chickens and goodies for the Blog-b-que! I'm putting together some ideas for vegetarian and raw food recipes - catering to all tastes in Portland! :D Can't wait to see you all.
Doggies are welcome. So are children. And cats. Small ponies also appreciated, though dogs the size of small ponies - well, we'll have to talk. We have squirrels and chipmonks to chase (dogs and children - and children chasing dogs and vice versa), and forest to explore. There is even a tire swing. :D
This is a great idea. Thank you for opening your home to us fellow bloggers. Stupid question time? Shall we bring computers and will wifi be accessible? or is this just more of a mingle type gathering?
Looking forward to sharing some yummy summer foods.
