(DRUMROLL......) The 6th (almost) Annual Midwest Hotluck will be held in Des Moines, Iowa (beautiful city with lots to do) on Sunday, October 5, 2003! Big Tom Price and his wife, Cindy, will co-host. It will be a glorious autumn day such as we have in the middle of the country when the heat of the summer has mellowed and the cold of the winter is still far off. We'll have lots of good food and we need lots of good people to bring it...and themselves....to capture the moment! Moderation will be in evidence; hellfire will be in evidence; El Grande will reign overall with her varying levels of enticing heat. So....check your social calendars. Open fields will be over and there will be stories and pix to share. Definite time and place will be announced soon; please plan to join us if you are anywhere in the Midwest (Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Ohio, Kansas, Nebraska) or want to fly in from elsewhere to experience the ambiance. It truly doesn't get much better than this. Waiting to hear who's coming... SandyO CH #1146, and Grand Poobah of the Moderate Corps
