Bbq update:

Posted by Green River Cleanup. Comments Off on Bbq update:

Due to light volunteer staff this year, WRRR will be hosting the BBQ at the group camp at KANASKET PALMER state park.  WRRR WILL provide hamburgers and fixings (thank you Mary K.) and WRRR is requesting that members bring a pot luck dish to share with others. Salads and hot items like beans are requested.   ($5 suggested donation for non wrrr members)

 

So there will NOT be a large WRRR shindig at Flaming Geyser.  Instead it will be at the group camp at Kanasket Palmer.  So plan on an efficient shuttle from FG back to KP for all the fun.

 

There will still be the DO dessert cook off competition saturday evening at 830 sharp at the KP group camp.

 

See you all there!!!    If you can help with logistics this year please let us know!   We are so thankful for all the time and effort you all put into these events!!!!     See ya soon!
