| Valley Forge Park Picnic May 26th Posted: 4/30/2007 5:02:10 AM | Hi there, I've never gone to an event like this, are people bringing their children? Or is this an all adult type event?  | |
|
| Valley Forge Park Picnic May 26th Posted: 4/30/2007 8:54:19 AM | I'd love to attend, but I can't either. I am usually out of town over the holiday weekend. I don't think there are any pavilions at Valley Forge Park. There are at Ridley Creek State Park, but they might be taken already for that date.
have fun, and I hope you have good luck with the weather. | |

| Valley Forge Park Picnic May 26th Posted: 4/30/2007 9:02:16 AM | In answer to the hotels Question - checkout www.valleyforge.org/ They have all sorts of info on hotels and stuff in the area. Click on the Visitors Tab, then accomodations, also check the Special Values and promotions page to see if there are any discounts. Teh also ahev alink tot eh park and to regional directions.
I hope this is an appropriate use here. this is a link to the Valley Forge Convention and Visitors Bureau website. I used to work for a different CVB website (or you can google it). hope this helps. CVB info is always free (paid for via taxes and business memberships - the only thing is, they are membership based - so if you don't see a hotel or restaurant listed, it is because they are not currently a member of the CVB). | |

| Valley Forge Park Picnic May 26th Posted: 5/1/2007 9:52:06 AM | | I have 2 girlfriends who want to come too. One is bringing chicken. The other does not know yet. I could bring a pie. They want more information though. | |
|
| Valley Forge Park Picnic May 26th Posted: 5/1/2007 10:41:18 AM | Will there be enough picnic tables or should we bring chairs? Where should we park? Have you decided on the section of the park yet? | |

| Valley Forge Park Picnic May 26th Posted: 5/3/2007 12:55:59 PM | | I wish I could make this one....but already have plans. DAMN! But with the weather getting nice and warm, I'm all about road trippin'---I may hook up with some of you crazy cats later on this summer, if anyone has any other ideas...... | |
|
| |
| Valley Forge Park Picnic May 26th Posted: 5/7/2007 8:51:00 PM | | Artsy....I'm going to try to make some of it. I have to work that day, but should be done by 4:00, so I might be able to come for a little while. | |

| Valley Forge Park Picnic May 26th Posted: 5/8/2007 11:42:45 AM | Hi Everybody!! I'm Dj Mike. I will be at the pinic all day taking all your requests !! A lot of beach music, oldies, country whatever you like. Feel free to bug me!! Games for the kids and adults. I will be under the green canopy! Looking forward to see you all there! Mike | |
|
| Valley Forge Park Picnic May 26th Posted: 5/8/2007 10:33:07 PM | | Ooooo I can't wait! I'll probably be near the DJ with the welcoming table. If anyone wants a nametag, I'll provide one, but if you don't it's okay. I'll make it an option. | |
|
| Valley Forge Park Picnic May 26th Posted: 5/10/2007 12:06:00 PM | | Hi Everybody!! Dj Mike again! WOW! The list is really growing! 109 people! If everybody brings 3 friends, that over 300 people! ! I was at the park the other day, what a wonderful place to have a party! Lots of trails and plenty of parking. A lot of picnic tables, but bringing your own chair is a good option. Dj Mike. | |

| Valley Forge Park Picnic Posted: 5/11/2007 6:49:07 AM | Hi, I would have loved to go to this picnic, but unfortunately I have a wedding to attend to, and it would have been the perfect time, because that is my birthday weekend to.... Hope everyone has a ball !!!!!!!!

|
| Valley Forge Park Picnic May 26th Posted: 5/14/2007 7:47:38 PM | | A girlfriend of mine from Colorado is coming in around that time. We were planning to go to the shore but maybe we can come home in time for the event. Are there directions posted somewhere? Thanks. | |
|
| |
| Valley Forge Park Picnic May 26th Posted: 5/16/2007 9:14:58 PM | | Is there a meeting place for us at the park? I need to know just where to go with my friends. And what about the parking? | |
|
| Valley Forge Park Picnic May 26th Posted: 5/19/2007 2:22:28 PM | | I haven't been to the park yet, but there's supposed to be ample parking. I will try to hang balloons so everyone will know the pavillion. | |
|
| Valley Forge Park Picnic May 26th Posted: 5/21/2007 6:47:11 AM | I live very close... I'm sure to be there. Is there an update on time, and should we bring food? Potluck? Laura | |
|
| Valley Forge Park Picnic May 26th Posted: 5/21/2007 8:17:28 AM | Laura, Yes, it's potluck. There's a list on the first post tthat I started. Let me know what you are bringing. | |
|
| Valley Forge Park Picnic May 26th Posted: 5/22/2007 1:02:54 PM | Since I'm older than 60 I can't email you directly. You BLOCK me!!
Anyway, what can I bring for Saturday? I can bring tables or chairs or food. If the latter, what is desired. Is it correct to assume that we should be bringing our own food and maybe something to pass? Is beer/wine ok to bring at this park?

| Valley Forge Park Picnic May 26th Posted: 5/22/2007 1:39:13 PM | Stu- No alcoholic beverages are allowed, since it's a public park. Anything that you care to bring is welcomed! Since I don't know how many people will show out of all that have signed up, bringing extra chairs and tables would be a good idea. So far, we don't have any potato salad, but it's entirely up to you. | |
|
| Valley Forge Park Picnic May 26th Posted: 5/22/2007 3:56:05 PM | | Just a quick note. Anybody who would like to sing and or play guitar let me know. e-mail me. I have the hook-ups for this. Dj Mike | |
|
| Valley Forge Park Picnic May 26th Posted: 5/23/2007 7:43:00 AM | | I'll bring some tables and chairs. I haven't figured out how to make a potato salad that I enjoy, so I'll pass on that. | |
