On Saturday, May 20, 2000, I will be having my sometimes annual Birthday Bash (58th). What I propose is to have a combined Mini "Q" Fest and Hotluck. This event will take place at The Paynes Pararie State Preserve at Micanopy, Florida.This is a very nice facility. The Preserve is located about 1½ miles north of Micanopy, on US 441. The site is within 4 miles of exit 73 on I-75. There is a covered pavillion with tables and seating, running water and indoor facilities. I will provide the meats and a couple of other dish's and cold drinks. Qer's can bring a side dish if they wish (optional) and Chiliheads may bring a hot dish (also optional). I usually have around 100-150 people show up at these Bash's, so there will be plenty of folks to talk to. The menu will include, brisket, pork butts, chicken, sausage links and maybe some spares, if the price is right. Bake beans, Swamp Cabbage, coleslaw, Bananna Pudding and Hushpuppies, along with anything we can beg, borrow or steal. There is an inexpensive Motel, Scottish Inn at the I-75 exit, also plenty of places in Gainesville (12 miles north). If you would like to attend please contact me and I will send the directions and motel info, if needed. James A. "Big Jim" Whitten 352- 466- 3860 bigjim@atlantic.net James A.
