    I signed up under the wrong post ( sorry), Count me in as 1, and if it's OK I'll bring corn on the cob, butter, salt & if my tomatoes are ripe some Italian tomato salad, and some sort of desert...

    I see WF mentioned dogs here...
    in that case, I'll bring the pasta salad if that works.

    River is in great shape, if we dont get substancial rains. A little low for canoes[ maybe a little draggin] but the bass fishing should be very good....WF...Hoping for good weather and to see old friends, and new ones, again.
