Hey guys!

Two weeks until COTR5 — can you feel the excitement?! I’m buzzing for Friday night, and the Potluck Dinner is the highlight for me. Come hungry and ready to share the good vibes!

 

Potluck basics

• When: Friday 6:30 PM at the pavilion

• Bring: your favorite potluck/camp dish + a 6-pack of your go-to beverage to share

• We’ll have tables, coolers full of ice, water, and soft drinks, and plenty of space to spread your deliciousness

 

Need insporation? Past crowd-pleasers:

• Ham sandwiches

• Store-bought dinner rolls

• Fire-roasted sausage

• Sliced brisket

• Gumbo

• Chili (never too much!)

• Fresh grilled fish caught that day

• Jalapeño sliders

• Dirty Rice

• Tuna Salad Sandwiches

• Boiled peanuts

• Pecan pie

• Even grocery-store fried chicken — anything goes!

 

Extras & logistics

• Electricity available all day Friday for crockpots or other gear.

• We will be firing up the smoker in the afternoon for anyone wanting to throw a dish on it — bring something you want smoked (smoked queso? jalapeño poppers? yes please).

• Trail runs end by 4 PM (some folks get back as early as 1 PM if you need time to prep).

• We’ll supply plates, bowls, utensils, and napkins — you just bring the food(and serving utensils if needed), your 6-pack, and an appetite.

 

Friday night fun

After the potluck we’ll kick things off with Gamivit’s Whiskey on the Rocks — grab a drink, and enjoy the Dissent Off-Road Cornhole Tournament. The beer trough will be stocked and the solo stoves will be glowing, so eat, hydrate, and get ready for laughs, friendly trash-talk, and great company.

 

Next up will be info on Saturday night activities. Can’t wait to hang with all of you at COTR5 — see you soon!
