2018 MI Fall Hang and Chili Festival trip report

**boulderv7** · 10-15-2018, 08:35

We had much better weather this year, even with the rain on Friday night. I want to thank everyone for coming out and especially all of our donating vendors. We successfully converted at least one ground dweller and I know everyone learned a lot. On top of all the fun and comradery, and despite relatively low attendance, we were still able to donate $500 to the NCT after covering group costs. 😁

I always have fun with all of you and I am looking forward to next year...And I know Ellie is too. 😂😂 She had a great time, and spent her first full night in the hammock as well, despite all the work I put into her little pup tent. 😜

Special thanks to everyone who helped out with kitchen duties and Andy the Frymaster. Many hands make light work and full stomachs.

Please post pictures in this thread if you got em!

Sorry I had to dash out, literally the minute I arrived I was on the phone with MissyLou regarding a building B&E that I had to secure. I was looking forward to hanging out and eating some chili.....

Sorry to have missed you! Thanks, as always, for the donation to the raffle. Hope everything is well on your end.

She can't wait to get out and try her new gear

Someone left a pair of knit fingerless gloves with a buttoned mitten pocket. We were the last to leave and found them out on a picnic table by the food tents. Let me know if they are yours.
