UPDATE!!! It looks like since someone beat me to make a reservation on 6/23, other dates aren`t working for people I`ve heard from. I`m afraid this whole idea is on hold for now. Sorry folks.
==============================================
I`m starting a new thread on this because the forum won`t let me update the thread title with the date I`ve decided on. I found a suitable location at Greentree Park in Kirkwood. It`s on the south-western edge of the city very close to Valley Park, on the bank of the Meramac River.

We`ll be in the part of the park on the side toward the river. I`m thinking about 8:00 am will be a good start time. I expect it will be pretty warm by then so I don`t want to wait too late, but I`m trying not to kill anyone after their Friday night.
There`s a pavillion with electric (if you have a long, heavy gauge extension cord, bring it) and water (same thing for a long hose).
There`s a $30 charge to reserve the pavillion, so I`d like at least a few other people to commit and send a little money to pitch in on the fee. I`d like to get at least a half-dozen people to commit to this and we could split the fee so it would be just a few bucks each. Even if it was a 3-way split I`d be happy enough. Then if other people want to show up anyway we can ask them to bring snacks or toss a few bucks to one of the people who paid in advance. The thing is, we really should put the money in a little early to assure the reservation.
