Bridgeville Meeting:Nov 03, 2007

On November 3, come to Bridgeville, Delaware, to watch the Pumpkin Chunkin' contest. Bridgeville is sort of in the middle of nowhere, so about two hours?or less?from many of the Mid-Atlantic's somewhere spots: Baltimore, DC, and Philadelphia.

We'll meet at that fabulous Jimmy's Grille in Bridgeville, probably around noon. Better fried chicken, biscuits, and pies you'd be hard pressed to find, and then we'll carpool to the Pumpkin Chunkin' field.

Cost is $7 per person, and $2 per car for parking.

We can (and should) bring food and beverages, including beer, wine, whatever; folding chairs and blankets are helpful, too.

If anyone wants to travel in for this major fest, we'll have drinks and dinner in Baltimore the night before.

And, this is an outdoor festival in a cornfield in rural Delaware in November. You can probably do the math on this one, but dressing in layers would make sense. And, you probably can't go wrong with anything plaid, plaid and flannel, plaid, flannel and quilted, or made by Carhart.

C'mon, it's time to release your inner hillbilly!

More specifics will be forthcoming closer to the date.

And, about the photo, it's from the Rapa Scrapple factory in Bridgeville. Sort of a landmark (maybe the only one) for me as I drive through the town to the beach.
