So far, including myself, Dana and Mark L., three other KR builders have said they will attend the beer and brats cook out. As far as I know you can grill just about anywhere....we could even do a tailgate party in the parking lot. I will stop by the convention headquarters next week and ask them for suggestions. The KR forum being presented by Jim Faughn and Mark Langford is on Wednesday July 30th at 2:30 pm in forum pavilion 10 (US Tools). As Dana asked...PLEASE let us know if you plan on attending the beer and brats cookout.
