EMTBravo Summer BBQ

[RWC130 594]

EMTBravo Summer BBQ!

Seth and I have tossed around the idea of

having a EMTBravo Summer BBQ

- Burgers

- Hot Dogs

- Chips

- Cold Soda

Are YOU Interested?

1. Where?

Choices:

- Croton Point Park, Croton-On-Hudson, NY

- Blue Mountain Reservation, Peekskill, NY (May be able to get us a deal)

- FDR State Park, Yorktown, NY

I would like to keep this as close to me as possible for obvious reasons

such as but not limited to; Food, Supplies, Etc

2. When?

- Saturday or

- Sunday

3. Cost?

What do you feel is fair? Not looking to profit here, just cover costs.

- $15 PP

- $20 PP

This would be to cover the cost of Food, Soda, Ice, Possible Park Permit, Etc.

** Also Considering Advanced Ticket Sales **

4. Who Would Attend?

- EVERYONE IS INVITED!

OK, So here is the deal. Based on interest and feedback I will plan and schedule this

EMTBravo Summer BBQ.

Final decision will be posted on Friday May 1, 2009

Members let me know what you think?

THANK YOU!

Sounds like a great idea, but I wouldn't count on Croton Point. That park is busy all Summer.

[RWC130 594]

Thanks for the heads up Remember585!

I would really like to go with Blue Mountain Reservation off Welcher Ave and

Washington Street in Peekskill.

Peekskill PD and Peekskill FD Career Firefighters

had several Picnics here and they went very well.

Park Staff was very good.

Plenty of Parking, Picnic Areas, Bathrooms, Etc.

Should we run out of anything A&P is only 1/2 mile away.

Riverfront Green would work too!!!

Food, soda, ice? 1 key element missing considering this is a FF barbecue!

[DOC22 1]

How About Croton Gorge Park (Dry side of Croton Dam???????

[nhfd241 4]

you can count me in

[RWC130 594]

You are welcome to BYOB!

[Guest Bootheng161]

Blue Mountain Park or Riverfront Greenn sounds good to me Rob if you need any help with anything call me you have my #.

[MoFire390 118]

what about George's island in montrose, if it rains it has 2 pavilions, upper with a small park for the youngins' or the lower with a great view of the river?

BMP would be good too...walking distance for me

lets get a date lets do this!!!!!

FDR park is beautiful on a weekday, but on summer weekends it becomes an extension of the South Bronx. Croton Point also gets crowded on weekends. Ridge Park in Greenburgh might be a good spot, my Dad had a lot of company picnics there growing up, was always a good time.

[RWC130 594]

1. Blue Mountain Reservation

Peekskill, NY

2. George's Island Park

Montrose, NY

3. Croton Gorge Park

Croton-On-Hudson, NY

I will be looking into Picnic Permits, Fees, Etc

this coming week and get back to everyone soon

with a date and location.

ALL have nice Picnic Areas and Parking,

does Croton Gorge have Bathrooms?

I am not too sure about the Riverfront Green in Peekskill? HMMMMMM

It depends on how many LEO's are attending. lol

Thanks for all the input!

[Remember585 815]

Croton Gorge really isn't much more then a parking lot and a grassy hill. George's Island isn't bad. Another good park where we do functions is Gerlach Park in the Town of Ossining. It has a pavilion, playgorund for kids and more importantly a SOFTBALL FIELD.

[RWC130 594]

Thanks again Remember585!

I guess we should rule out Croton Gorge then huh?

[Remember585 815]

That would be my personal opinion, of course I am only one guy.

Well I drive through it every time I go to my sister's house and there seems to be more than what you describe.

[RWC130 594]

MoFire390,

I could always use some help brother.

Give me a call!

Thanks for the offer!

What would be a big help to get the word out on this BBQ is to establish a liaison between

various FD, PD, EMS and EMTBravo.

If anyone is interested please send me a e-mail with your name and agency.

E-MAIL HERE!

On the UPDATE as of today I have narrowed it down to (2) locations:

1. Blue Mountain Reservation

Peekskill, NY

2. George's Island Park

Montrose, NY

I am also considering offering advanced Tickets to the BBQ at a discount.

Anyone who shows up the day of the BBQ would pay a little more.

This would be a HUGE help in getting an idea how many are attending so we can have Food, Drinks, and Supplies ready.

I don't wanna spend money ordering Food for 50 and 5 show up or vice versa.

NOTE: Possible Dates of Saturday June 13 or Saturday June 20

NOTE: Possible Dates of Saturday June 13 or Saturday June 20

Just so you know, I believe the 20th is the Hudson Valley Convention, that might draw some of the crowd you're looking for away.

[MoFire390 118]

I am currently on the phone with RWC and being that the convention is June 20th we will be having the summer BBQ on June 13...the spot is still not known

Unfortunately this thread about having a EMTBravo BBQ does not seem

to have sparked too much interest.

Before I put all the work into this do you guys want to have a BBQ?
