In case you missed it before, here is the announcement. The weather is looking good, and Jim Campbell has sent some wonderful sauces and powders, so a good time should be had by all. I hope you can make it! Hi folks! Long time no talk. I read the list when I have time, but I haven't had a whole lot of that lately. Just dropping a line to let you know the 6th (Almost) annual is still a go! It is scheduled for 9/21/02 at my house in Tecumseh, Kansas, and all the usual home amenities will be available. I look forward to hosting, and hope lots of folks can come. I now have maps and directions on the website (http://www.kscoplaw.com/midwestch.html). I hope everyone can come. Let me know if you have any questions.
