    Yes, it is a beautiful setting for an Eggfest.  My favorite for sure.   John puts on a great event.   So much nicer to cook there than the big parking lot in atlanta

    Our third year cooking with Gary and Sandy.  We're welcoming in Jim and Kay who have been at Hiawassee from the beginning and loving that @Jeremiah is also joining us.  We'll drink more than we cook.  And we'll cook some to.

    Unfortunately, it looks like the cooks will need to bring their rain jackets and Smokeware caps. Praying that the weatherman is wrong once again.

    The weather does not look good right now, but maybe the mountains will move it out by Saturday.

    So for you event veterans, what is the alcohol policy at the event.   Most public parks in Tennessee have no alcohol policies.   Can you have it as long as you are discrete?

    @MotownVol BYOB. I’d suggest a rolling cooler.
