So, today we ventured off to pull together all of our plans for our annual punkin party. This year will be bigger than previous years since we planned on holding it rain or shine and made provisions to have it outdoors regardless.
This year I think we have counts of as high as 115 people coming. If its sunny and relatively seasonal the counts may be higher, but who knows. The more always the merrier.
So, today we tied down the planning phase. We hired the 20x50 tent, tables, chairs, popcorn cart. Then we stopped off at Bob's farm and ordered the punkins; 50 -8lb'rs, 25 - 1-1/2 lb spookies, 40 bales of straw, and 20 bundles of corn stalks.
For the festivities we planned on people meeting here at the house at about 11AM. They can grab coffee, tea, hot cocoa, soup, some warm muffins and then travel the mile to the county farm for the punkin toss contest. Somewhere after an hour or so they can come back and enjoy the food we'll have prepared. On that end we'll be having;
Onion Soup
Some form of hearty soup, squash or vegetable
Sweet Corn soup with avocado and crab salad
Chicken Fingers
Guacamole
A very hearty bean and green bean salad with sesame goat cheese
Steamed Salmon with a fresh radish garnish
Peruvian Chicken
Franks with sauerkraut
Swedish Meatballs
Candied Apples/Caramel Apples (with all the garnishes)
Fresh Popcorn
We have paints for painting personalized punkins. We'll have all the carving tools for making Jack-O-Lanterns, mask blanks for making stick masks and some other yet to be finalized fun.
Should be fun all around.
