Our “Hot (real end of season) DOG” – May 17, 2009

We met at Lake Kissimmee State Park with a couple folks arriving just before noon. The rest started arriving from about 12:30 on through about 2:00 PM. We had a beautiful day. We were fortunate to get a large pavilion with lots of tables. We had a few folks that couldn’t make it for a variety of reasons, but we had a good-sized group that were able to be there!

We decided to have a “tropical” theme since we don’t normally have a DOG in the heat of May. Everyone seemed to enjoy the theme and prepared all kinds of wonderful “tropical” delicacies.
