If he still fits, let him sits I say. Amen. It made it easier in this case for sure. Breakfast is over. It's time to post pood forn instead of teasing us with suggestively posed menus. Hey, there were potato skins, sausage, steak, and poppers in that post. Is this always the same weekend each year? I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's the second Saturday in October.

Seals 111 Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Don't you just love people. They will spend a weekend making food for other people who come to eat it. And it looks like everyone had a good time. Love Z's celebrity look - wearing those glasses and being pushed around while he ate. He's in training. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
momof3kids-Yvonne 594 Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 I think I have my planning down. 1st weekend of October go tailgate with Kelly & family at the Georgia/ Alabama game. That week following should if the schedule is the same as this year be Fall Break for the schools here. DH has an office in Atlanta for work. We could camp at Stone Mountain for the week. DH could go to work from there. The next weekend would be Eggtoberfest.Now to convince DH that this is a good idea. Can you take care of this for me at the Memorial Day GG?

GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted October 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Let’s start this update with a genius idea! S’mores without the mess…. Fill an ice cream cone with marshmallows and chocolate or Reece’s. Grill until melted. We hit the kids’ area. Z was pretty happy. There was a huge bounce house with slides inside, a really tall shark slide, and a climbing wall. While he played, we checked out the swag bag. Remember, every paid entry got one of these with admission, so we had 2. We got BGE patio lights. We found out later, they retail for $30. No, Jason isn’t drinking 2 drinks. One of them is Z’s milk. One of the teams had been giving out milk and cookies to the kids. Very cute. We also got a BGE citronella candle. And a shirt Lastly, there was a magnet and magazine that I didn’t take a picture of. Pretty good bag of goodies! Back to the serious playing…. There was also corn hole. Crap, I have to go to bed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted October 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Let’s finish up the festival…. We decided to head over to the store to check out what they had. On the way, we ran into this huge hunk of meat being cooking on an XL Egg. That’s a whole pork shoulder. Yum. We also ran into a bit of a BBQ celebrity, Ray Lampe AKA Dr. BBQ. You might recognize him from the Cooking Channel or Food Network. He was cooking here at the festival in the BGE sponsored tent. We never did make it in there to eat. Let’s check out the store. These are new. Eggzilla… I wonder how much that thing weighs. Our next Egg, the Mini Max… it’s released next month. Yeah, we’re not going to pay that much for it though. We need to talk to our connection to see how much he’ll come off the retail price. I guess those are all the pictures I took of the store. We bought some koozies, a shirt for Z, and a hat for Jason. #momnevergetsanything Z had to put on the shirt right away. Here he is modeling both the hat and shirt. We checked out the live music, which was really good, but used more for a backdrop for the festival. Then it was time for more eating. This was one of my favorite things I tried that day, BBQ potato hash. It had BBQ, peppers, onions, potatoes, and a little bit of a spicy kick. We will be making this soon. At this point, the lines were LONG. It wasn’t as pleasant as the morning at all. Steak Sushi… wish I’d gotten a better picture. It was cooked steak. Here they are making it. This shows how long the lines were getting. Wings! But they’re not as good as ours. So with that, we decided to call it a day at the festival. We’d gotten full twice and exhausted our beverage tickets. UGA was beating Mizzou, and we wanted to watch the end of the game. I guess I didn’t do very good with the food pictures. I took a lot, but only managed to photograph a fraction of what we ate. That gives me a new appreciation for F&W bloggers. We’ll pick up back at the campground in the next update.

Roller ... aka Ed 351 Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 That's it?!? Almost no pood forn and having to put up with UGA!?! Tell Jason he has to turn in his eggs! You definitely need training .... All that potential (and misleading advertising), and we are left to drool over menus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How soon will you be getting it after it's released? I'll need a good review to know if it's money well spent :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Great job reporting on the Eggtoberfest. I was trying to find out more about the company that makes the BGE's, and found their website. They have a video on there with highlights from this year's Eggtoberfest, including a segment with Dr. BBQ. Maybe y'all are in the video somewhere: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7S-Kfs2bL4 TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Thanks for posting, Kelly. Interesting stuff that I won't see in person, so it was a fun read. Looking forward to the rest of your adventures at Stone Mtn. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You definitely need training .... All that potential (and misleading advertising), and we are left to drool over menus. Hey, I went back and counted. There were 16 food pictures, not all good ones. And there are a couple more coming. This very well might be in my near future... I like the size of it. How soon will you be getting it after it's released? I'll need a good review to know if it's money well spent :D How soon we'll get it will depend on pricing. And how nice my husband is until then. And if I book a cruise and bribe him with it. :rofl2: Great job reporting on the Eggtoberfest. I was trying to find out more about the company that makes the BGE's, and found their website.

I didn't realize the Eggulance was there to deliver the Mini Max. Cool. We talked to the guy they interviewed about the Mini Max. Thanks for posting, Kelly. Interesting stuff that I won't see in person, so it was a fun read. Looking forward to the rest of your adventures at Stone Mtn. You COULD see it... You'd love it. Same here! That Egg size looks perfect for camping and would be a good starter. Kelly how much lower than retail can a person find one of those things? Thanks WBI That egg has the surface area of the small but is much lighter. I'm not sure how low I can get that one because it's brand new. I can get a medium without a nest for $500.

Hopefully they will start to have these at Eggfest as well and we might be able to pick up a demo MiniMax. I am enjoying my demo Large BGE! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
