I was thinking...
Even if we each volunteer to bring things like food, utensils, garbage bags, etc. I think there will still be costs associated with hosting this event, and I don't want Jeannie & Gary getting stuck with paying for things we might be overlooking right now. Things like renting a tent, tip for the caterer (was that included in the $9?), firewood, garbage removal, porta-potty rental, and other miscellaneous items could really add up.
I don't think it would be unreasonable to charge a $5 per person (adults) entrance fee just to cover some costs. Any extra could go to rescue.
Does anyone have thoughts/comments about this?
Also, Jeannie - we may want a tent even if the forecast isn't for rain. Last year I organized a 50-person, outdoor surprise birthday party for my mom in late July in Michigan. It was HOT HOT HOT. I rented a tent in case of rain, but it turned out to be just as valuable to protect people from the sun.
Also, other things we should make sure we have -
first aid kit(s)
bug repellent
sunscreen
