| 1st annual fish picnic-Sunday July 26th 2009 at Willow Springs woods Posted: 6/21/2009 5:13:54 PM | To BlondeIndian...According to the posting...kids are invited to the picnic, so if you have them for Sunday..please bring them as they are welcomed plus I got a feeling that the picnicgoers will sing "Happy Birthday" to you and perhaps someone will bring a cake or someone will "pop-out" of the cake for you...ha, ha. Tammy...You got to come to this picnic as all of your friends will be there. To Jules...Okay...you're a dj and you have to work this Sunday(7/26)..my question to you is "Will you have time to come to the picnic when it starts(11:00AM)" and then you can leave at a time enough to go to the place where you have to do your "DJ" gig?. Doesn't your work as a DJ start sometime in the evening which will then allow you to come to the picnic at a early time and have time to "picnic-party" with your POF friends? Hope to see you and Tammy at the picnic..."the more-the merrier" I say. See everyone there with smiles on. Jim  | |

| 1st annual fish picnic-Sunday July 26th 2009 at Willow Springs woods Posted: 6/22/2009 11:20:02 AM | Goody!!!! It's an outdoor event at Brazena woods in LaGrange.. so it runs from noon till 8 p.m... 11 is when I begin to set up... It's just I feel like I'm not meant to go to any of these parties.. They almost always fall on Fridays ( or on a Saturday that I just happen to have a private party on) Maybe I'll organize an event just so I can make it LOL! | |

| 1st annual fish picnic-Sunday July 26th 2009 at Willow Springs woods Posted: 6/22/2009 5:59:09 PM | | To Jules..okay..I didn't know your dj gig was going to be an outdoor event but you just gave me an idea to "spice-up" the POF picnic. Does anyone have a "karioke machine" that they can bring to the picnic and have it set-up for singing? Also we would need a portable generator to get the karioke machine operable. So...are their any singers in POF land that has a karioke machine? It will be a fun gimmick and it will get the picnic-party bopping and hoping. If this forest preserve has a good shelter with a good cement foundation, perhaps we can have some dancing? So whose volunteering to sing? Jim. | |
