Hello! Don't you take any food? I must have baby wipes and paper towels. Gotta keep my hands clean. What are "cornhole boards"?

You don't need food if there is a cheeburger buffet.

Ok, sounds like a fun game! Your list does sounds a little vague whereas, CaptainP looks like he's got it going on, with everything planned out. I think you can fun either way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's a Buffett concert!!!!!

Am I the only one that packs light? I don't want the responsibilty of cleaning up afterwards. I bring myself and beer and tickets. I don't even bring a car, if I can help it.

Our list is similar to Captain P's, but we also always bring duct tape. It always comes in handy for something. And hand sanitizer is great, too!

By the way, after reading your posts in the cornhole thread, I've built some and am in process of painting them with a parrothead theme. I will post pics when they are finished. I've never played but am looking forward to bringing them to Alpine!

We use big washers and call it "Washers" Cant get into saying "Who wants to come cornhole with me"...

Duct tape is on my list, too....I just keep in the canopy bag, so it wasn't written in.

I figured it was....one should never leave home without it. As a longtime lurker before I started posting, I observed that you are rather organized, Captain.

I've tried washers but they hard to find in the grass when you are drunk colorful bags stick out more

What time are you guys planning on getting to the Kellogg/Sutton lot to set up? We were thinking we would aim to be at the lot at 9:30.

From you---this isn't surprising

I would also recommend some kind of disinfectant wipes and/or handiwipes. Also bring water in gallon container for "washing" up utensils or hands. Aluminum trays. Baggies.

We have LITERALLY opened the lot gates the past two years. Last year, we were there with our breakfast buffet going by 7:30.
