Here's what my "week/day in life of Woodward" looks like.
2 full evenings of shopping at Costco/various other stores to get everything we need
Organizing a "large" vehicle that fits everything(big bbq/etc)
Getting everything organized/loaded up(bbq/untensils/cooler/ice/drinks/etc)
Getting to the lot the morning of, unloading it all again.. Setting up the grill, eazy-ups/etc.
Grilling lunch
Few hour break then fire up the grill again for dinner
Clean up everything, take down eazy-ups/etc and reload into the car.
Get to relax for an hour or so and then leave Woodward.
Get back home, unload everything again.
Here's what I need help with/plans
1. When i get there i know everyone is good as usually good at helping unload, I need a few people to take over setting up the eazy-ups/signs/etc. It really helps if others join in so that i can start getting the food etc ready.
2. Justin's and others have offered to help at the grill, I should be good there. I really need just need 1 grill-mate to keep me in the loop of what we need more of, moving the burgers/dogs from the grill so i can focus on getting the food out.
3. I'm thinking we set 2 grill times like John mentioned(I sort of did this last year and it helped). I'll start serving lunch from 12-1(we'll keep the extra burgers/dogs warm) and then i'll have dinner going from 4-5(again we'll have extra burgers/dogs cooked up) in case anyone wants to eat after and we'll still have all of the "snacks" out.
4. After dinner the grill will be cooled off/cleaned up some and loaded. I'd like to get some of the bigger items loaded up before it gets dark(for instance if we don't need the eazy-ups any more based on the weather then we can take those down and get them loaded). I hate "yelling/asking" for help and I know a lot of you jump in already. If you see me/others loading stuff, just ask if you can give a hand.
5. Spread the word, it'll be a good time as always!! The sooner the better so I can "un-stress" about selling it out lol.
