It’s that time of year again to step away from our screens, eat ridiculous amounts of food, meet your fellow Redditors, play some games, and share your favorite tales about the internet.
**Where:** Estabrook Park, Picnic Area #7
There will be grilling, games, snacks, activities, and a raffle for prizes! As always, we encourage everyone to bring any other fun games or ideas--with the exception of bounce houses (unfortunately we *still* could not secure that permit).
We are still in dire need of the following:
Last year we had inquiries about donations and so if anybody would like to donate to making this meetup bigger and better, we are collecting donations via PayPay.[1] These funds will go towards the site permit, raffle prizes, and emergency food/supply replenishment. Any leftover funds will be donated to charity.

Stay tuned for updates, weather forecasts, and other developments.

I guess I’ll try to go this year- it’ll be good for me to get out and maybe I’ll manage to make a friend or two instead of awkwardly standing by a tree and reading Reddit and not talking 😂. (I might be super shy, but it would be *so* nice to have more than literally 2 friends). Not sure what to bring so I’ll probably just make a donation for whatever is needed and if it ends up going to charity I certainly won’t complain.

I'll be there. Likely no big-ass jar of pickles this year, but I'll definitely bring some other snacks, food, and/or beer (which is really all that matters).

Woot! I'll definitely be there with Kubb and other good stuff. This is within walking distance as well so time to get hammered and stumble back home!

My Dudes I’d totally like to go but I’m sabbath observant and can’t come until like 9:30pm think you’ll still be doing it?

As always I'll bring beer. But somehow this is the 3rd year in a row I've been invited to a housewarming the same day as the meetup

We just bought a canopy for an event at my wife's work. So I can bring that too. Also have a cooler or two.

I was there for the last two meetups, not sure I can make this one though, as much as I'd love to :(
Moved away for grad school, still in Wisconsin, but far enough away that it's a pain to get there

Hmm, interesting. First time for me. Seems like one could have a good time.
Change my mind.

I'll probably come by if I can build up the courage. Just moved to MKE from Florida and don't really know anyone and I'm pretty shy so I feel like I'm pushing my comfort zone here. What's the policy on alcohol? I imagine there must be some under 21ers coming so I'm assuming it's a no go?

I'll be there for most of the afternoon (soft 1PM, probably leave when people start to trickle out late afternoon/evening). I'll bring some picnic silverware and other odds and ends.
