I'll also bring a cooler with ice to keep things cold that need to be kept that way.

Additional supplies always handy: trashbags, cheap tablecloths, cups, napkins, long-handled grill tools for turkey; turkey knife; large turkey tins to put them on after being cooked. I don't think anyone has claimed gravy for turkey if anyone wants to take a go at that.
For those who aren't familiar with Phil Foster park, attached is pic with circle and "X" for about where the pavilions are where we intend to set up. When you enter the park, just hang left and go back as far as you can that way. You should run into the pavillion area.
Who did I miss; what did I get wrong? Let me know and I'll correct.......

No need for updates to the first post now. Everyone is reading toward the end...
We're having a a pot-luck picnic and then diving Blue Heron Bridge.
People will begin arriving around 8:30 AM to get the oil started. We'll get the place cleaned up from the picnic before we enter the water around 3:30 PM
If you haven't decided what to bring, look at the list Debby quoted and pick something to bring.
Even if you don't bring something, be sure to come out and enjoy the day/dive with us!

See you there!

In addition to the 12 pound hamster I just picked up, will also be bringing homemade cranberry chutney, 7 layer dip and chips.
And, we need to all thank Valhalla, who although he couldn't attend, kept his committment to contribute to our feast. Thanks to him, our beverages are covered, Rum, Coke products and limes, not to mention the Super Hamster!
I tend to disagree, would it be that hard to update the first post with the times that people are arriving, are eating, and are diving? I tried reading a few pages of this thread and it grew tedious and I didn't get the answer, and wasn't able to share it with my guest. Thanks so much!
I'm picking up shrimp rings today and I'll see what else strikes my fancy, maybe coleslaw, I'm not good at planning parties so I'm not real sure what's "missing".
Would you say that people who are not cooking should arrive at 11?
TANKS a lot...
p.s. Sandy if I arrive at 11 with pots and stove is that time enough?

Woah thats totally the opposite from the first post.
First post says
I've been directing people to the first post and if I don't get in contact with them they won't be there at the right time.
I also need to know what time the eating starts so I can be on time with my food and still get my tank filled.
Unfortunately, there are no moderators or advisors about to update the first post. We will be having our picnic mid-day, in order to have our area cleaned-up and packed away prior to divers hitting the water, as early as 3:30 pm. Yes, there will be folks at the park early in the morning, to clean-up/set-up the picnic area, and get the oil heating, for cooking the birds. That alone will take approximately 4 hours. Then, we have to allow time for the oil to cool down, before it can be safely stored. The non-divers will keep an eye on things then. Any other questions, go ahead and post them. I'm sure that someone will be keeping an eye this thread throughout the day.
