Start Time: 2:00 PM

Cost: Member – Annual Dues of $30 plus one side dish ($5 surcharge without a side dish).  Please note that the event site does not have electricity.  If you are bringing a hot dish, you might want to look into a sterno.

Kids under 16 are free. Ages 16-20 are $5 and Guests (21+) are $10.  If a guest brings a side dish we will knock off $5.

Food and Beverage: Hamburgers and Hot-Dogs will be served around 4:00 PM.  There will also be Beer (2 types), Wine, Soda and Water.  This is also a pot-luck event, so there will be plenty of food. Come hungry!

RSVP by September 15th via EVITE (will be emailed in early September) or call Tina Sauers 412-443-7817.  Please let us know what your side dish is and if you are available to Volunteer.

Volunteers: All members are required to volunteer at 3 events per year (via section 4B of our bylaws).  This is an easy one, so why not help out?  We are looking for people to help set up (show up an hour early), run sign-in with Janice or help clean-up afterwards (stay an extra 30 minutes).  Please call Tina Sauers 412-443-7817 if you are able to volunteer.

Games: The area around the shelter is grassy, so make sure to bring your outdoor games.

Mountain Bike Ride: Boyce Park has some of the best mountain bike trails in Southwest Pennsylvania.  Take advantage of these trails with Mark “the Shark” Sauers at a pre-picnic MVSC mountain bike ride.  Mark plans to leave the picnic site around noon and go for an easy ride.  If you are interested, give him a call at 412-559-4731.

We still need volunteers to work the registration table from 10:30-12:00 and 12:00-1:30.  It’s really easy (last year they even moved it to the goggle deck later in the day) and it is one of the last events to work for the year to get your membership credit.  Please call Jess Steinour at 412-841-3177 if you are interested.

Teams of 4-6 will race across the entire mountain to 8 designated checkpoints. First team to collect a photo with all team members in front of all 8 check points, and makes it back to the rally point first wins.

Return to the Tailgate around 1pm for beverages, food (hot dogs and hamburgers) and announcement of the prizes!

RULES:
1. ALL RESORT RULES, AND SKIERS RESPONSIBILITY CODE APPLY.
2. All teams must have one digital camera (cell phone ok) to log all checkpoint pictures on.

5. Once you reach the end rally point and have obtained all 8 checkpoints, end your time by taking a picture of a cell phone clock and the Ridgelines front license plate.
