NWFA Food & Beer Get Together - Saturday, February 24th - 6PM - PDX

[teflon6string]

I enjoy an annual post-Christmas ritual (with rum in coffee) of filling up my new calendar with birthdates, new/used toys (guns, vehicles, instruments, etc.), vacations, past memories and upcoming events.

2-24 should be a fun day, starting with the Hillsboro Gun Show and then the NWFA shindig. Hell, I might even go shooting first thing in the morning and make it a trifecta!

Well, let's see. If I get hubby to drive, we could make Chehalis in 2 1/2 hours. Call it three with coffee and potty stops. Another hour to the state line. Lock up the sidearms (we have WA and UT but no OR). Then however long to the locale. Say 4 1/2 hours. Still a maybe. We have friends in Saint Helens and an adult grandson in Ethel (or is it Onalaska) that we could probably stay with Saturday night. That would cut down the driving. We make the drive to Chehalis/Centrailia every month or so to see family or go to a gun show, so I'll discuss it with hubby.

Love to see you there. St. Helens, OR?

 

[Wolf256]

Yep. A friend moved to St. Helens to be near her daughter, sil and grandkids. One of these days we'll get our OR concealed, but there are a lot of hoops to jump through. Don't mind jumping, just haven't had the time. Letters of reference, not a big deal. Mostly it's the applying in person when we live in Kingston. By the time we get around to it, we'll end up having to take another course that is accepted in OR.

Alcohol wise, do they have anything other then beer?

I believe that they serve wine, but don't quote me on that.

I looked it up. McMennamin's makes and sells their own hard alcohol but I doubt LL does since the official name of the place is Lucky Labrador Beer Hall, which sort of confirms my suspicion. I know they sell good beers and tasty pizza by the pie/slice.

To that point, I believe it's a matter of licensing (and cost), so they probably have ciders and maybe wine, but no hooch. Anyone else know for sure? I like a Moscow Mule, tequila, rum, Irish whiskey, Canadian...

Oh hell, guess I'm just versatile.

The guys above are correct, it's beer, wine, and cider.

Beer and wine and cider, OH MY!

My son and I have it on the calendar as long as that dreded four letter word (work) dosent interfere.

 

[BlindedByScience]

I'll definitely try to get there, may drag youngest son along. Is there a 'cigar friendly' porch available there? That way I could indulge all my bad habits in one place....;-)

Yes, there is a pretty large covered area outside where people are allowed to have their dogs. This time of year there's not many people that sit out there as it's not heated. I know some places may have signs say "NO CIGARS" but I didn't see those.

What'd they say?

 

[BlindedByScience]

....oops, I'd have had to remember to make the call to have any decent comments....

I'll add it to my "get it done" list, promise.....

 

[BlindedByScience]

Ok, come to find out smoking, including cigars, is indeed allowed on the covered patio. Nice..!!

 

[newtonpo]

Be thinking I might. Near Ashland so it's a hoof.

 

[Goosebrown]

Annual cubscout dinner. I'm going to have to pass.

 

[High Desert Expat]

Dang ole 2+ hour drive has got a stranglehold on the Caveman, again.

Let's try & set up a WA meet.

Anything I can do to support this idea PM me

"We ask that you refrain from open carry at this event, as you (and likely the rest of us) will almost certainly be asked to leave."

Then why would we give them business?
