Hi "craftybeth", We are wondering if it is too late to attend the cookout. Our plans changed and we will be arriving in Maggie Valley on the 17th. If it is not too late, can we bring something? An appetizer or a dessert? It will have to be store bought as we will be on the road for a couple of days, but we'd love to attend and meet everyone. Let me know, thanks, Rhonda and Mike (Purple Passion) Massachusetts
