Thanks, I thoughly propose to...
We are expecting about 45 +-, not including children and dogs. My wife and I are both off today to cook and prepare the cabin (on the Penn border, the regulars rent state cabins for the weekend.) People will start showing up around noon and I plan to start serving around 4 in the afternoon. The party generally folds up around 2 or 3 am. Cleanup sunday is over by noon at the latest normally.
This is our once a year big party. Fun, but a lot or work.
