2011 Billville Hiker Feed & Fun

[trailangelmary]

The dates this year are July 8,9,10. Duncannon, PA. Preparing food starts July 5. Transport everything to park on Thursday evening July 7. Sunday July 10 must have park cleaner than we found it by noon (because that is how we roll!). More details to follow.

[mweinstone]

when hikers arrive at the feed, small lightweight strong casts are applied to their elboes makeing them not able to bend. then, they are seated at long tables accross from one another. they are unable to bend their elbos , so they cant feed themselves. some hikers begin feeding the hiker across from them. others do the same. soon , some hikers are dropping dead from not eating. we use these for the hog farm. when they are all fed to the hogs, whats left are the good hikers. this is the point at witch we searve dessert. on sunday morning, when the bacon exspolsions are searved, we make sure there are no eyeballs or lekki pole tips sticking out. each year we purify our ranks in this way. so, if you plan on attending, and your a selfless lover of others, you should be fine.

oh, and mary has qooties.

[trailangelmary]

Thank you to Walkin' Home for the first donation of $100. This will go towards the fee to rent the park which is $150. The other largest expense is the pig - $200-$275. You can mail your donations to Mary Parry 2 Ann St. Duncannon, PA 17020.
Wish list for the menu will be posted later. I already have a committment for a case of eggs and a committment from Sorrentos.

[trailangelmary]

Traditionally Sue Grace and whomever is available to play with her has committed to entertain us with great music on Saturday evening. Some of you may remember Sue as a regular (2 x weekly) playing at the Doyle Hotel. She has occupied much of her time presently at the Perry County Farmer's Market as a vendor selling her crafts and blesses us with her tunes when she is there. I love Sue and Bucky too.

[trailangelmary]

I have a committment from a local friend who will donate some of the eggs required for the wish list - 10 dozen! They are local and FRESH!

[trailangelmary]

Tricks, are you reading this? I am couning on you to do your usual and bring lots of equipment for games to occupy and entertain the hikers! Let me know.

[trailangelmary]

This year my goal is to have every Billville member attending to help, to arrive and sign up in the kitchen for the meal they will work in the kitchen - preparation to clean up! Please help Mary have the ability to take a nap and her be assured the job will be finished!
Yes, Maty, I am trying to avoid my tension level rising and therefore me yelling!!!!!!!

Thanks Digger. Also you forgot to get your coffee grinder when you were here for the Duncannon 24.

[takethisbread]

Thanks Digger. Also you forgot to get your coffee grinder when you were here for the Duncannon 24.

I was extraordinarily drunk, wet and tired. Sorry.

[trailangelmary]

I was extraordinarily drunk, wet and tired. Sorry.

LMAO!!! I'll keep it safe for you. Can I use the coffee maker of yours I also have for the feed?

[mweinstone]

mare, got the bville corny popster?ill bring the popcorn and salt.it needs oil.cant count on me for that.but will try.

[mweinstone]

if duncannon was a hiker, it would be matthewski
if trail angel mary was a food, it would be all the cotton candy in the world with the kids attatched.
if pat and miss vicky was an island, it would have pinapples and coconuts and cherrys
if if peters mountain was an ice cream, it would be chocolate, and my weirdo spot would be the cherry on top.
if the sussquhana was a woman, she would be a humble yet powerful indian princess warrior in love with matthewski
if the ballfeild full of laughter and hikers were a candybar, it would be lemon chocolate marshmallo gooseberry supreem.
if rm 23 was heaven,..............it is.

[trailangelmary]

mare, got the bville corny popster?ill bring the popcorn and salt.it needs oil.cant count on me for that.but will try.

40 lbs of pasta salad. That is a great donation. I will add that to the Saturday midday meal. Thank You. Will you be coming for the weekend or just one day? The big day is Saturday with (besides the food) games and entertainment. Lots of help will be needed all day in the kitchen.

the pawpaw dog would be a dog whos both ends were cut into 5 toes to make two paws.

the dude dog would be a cocktail frank on a toothpick with a tiny ziplock of dipping sauce

the doyal dog would be a plane dog heavily scarified with fork marks and cuts and bruses and missing one end. searved in a broken bun on a coaster.

the chomp dog would be cut into peices with wax teeth and covered in teeth marks

the sheneequa dog would be a knockwurst with just the tip dipped in golden mustard

and finaly folks, the bag o tricks dog, a dog so awful, no mortal hiker can refuse its trail scents and ways. its two dogs, put in a blender with potatoe chps and a squirt of ketchup and searved in a cup with a bun stuck in. tricks is watching his weight. one bun only.

Billville members please bring any of those sturdy plastic cups you get when you get a soda to go - let's recycle them wash and bring with you for hikers to use at park.

What else do you still need food wise? I can bring hot dogs and rolls if needed (how many) and bananas. You want me to bring the drink coolers and any ice chest? Are we brewing coffee this year or doing it cowboy style on the stove. Thanks for asking and getting Sue to play.

[trailangelmary]

Still need more cash donations to be able to have pig. Alternate plan will be to move hot dog/hot sausage bar to Saturday and eliminate that meal on Friday. Hope we don't have to do that.

posted by Tricks -
What else do you need, and how much is the pig cost? I'll work on updating the list later. Avon business and Museum festival this weekend priorities now. Last year the pig cost almost $300 because the available pig guys charged for all the go-withs. Only their time was donated, not to diminish it. It takes all night long to do a pig! Once I know we have the money to pay for it I will see who is available.

Thanks Mary, but how much oil, butter, flour etc..,. I'll see what I can do on some of these items. I like the idea of beer battered french fries but I do think frying a bunch of stuff is a little over kill. Remember how tired you get doing all this even with 'some' help. May I politely suggest keeping it short and simple for all those who are putting these meals together. I'm at the Doyle now and will be driving down to the AT museum festival early tomorrow morning. See you and talk more there. Have fun tonight.

I will do anything you ask dear Mary. I am your slave for the weekend of the Billville Hiker Feed. I will bring anything you need.

Matthewski will help me back out of her mind, but until then, ask away.

Love,

Thanks to JB for his generous cash donation. The pig is on! Next job is to schedule who is going to roast the pig.

[Old Hiker]

Haven't found this hiker as a registered member of whiteblaze but apparently he's been reading. So, I just like to note his donation as received so he knows. Thank you to Old Hiker for his generous cash donation.


Scared me! Thought I was lost (again). Had to go look to make sure! I'm between Old Hickory MH and Old Man Grizzly.

Glad to help out - maybe someday I'll make one, if the world doesn't end this Oct or Dec 2012. Might want to make this feed count, just in case!

Some details about the above list:
butter needed for many things like on the pancakes Saturday morning, for the garlic bread on Friday evening, for the roux to thicken the sausage gravy, for the amish friendship bread - so I'd say a total of 4 lbs will be needed.

My friend Stacey believes she can get the flour and sugar for me on July 1 which is good because I will need it ahead of time to make the amish friendship read.

6 italian loaves will be needed for the garlic bread on Friday evening. As well as one large jar of crushed garlic, 1 parsley flakes. and 1 oregano.

For the hot dogs 2 15 oz cans of chili without beans, 2 quart cans of sauerkraut, 1 #10 can of pickle spears.

For the green bean casserole 1 #10 can of french style green beans, 1 # 24oz can cream of mushroom soup, 3 cans of french fried onions.

For the baked corn I need a #10 can of corn and a #10 can of cream corn.

For the spaghetti sauce, I will need onion, green peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, asparagus, 4 - 28 oz cans tomatoes, 2 - 28 oz can plum tomatoes, 6 - 29 oz cans tomato puree, 6 - 12 oz cans tomato paste, bottle of red wine, fresh garlic gloves, parmesan cheese and various seasonings. All of these ingredients will be needed by July 4 because I prepare it ahead.

Need 3 additional containers of parmesan cheese and 2 crushed red pepper flakes for serving time.

4 loaves scrapple

3 bottles barbecue sauce for the bacon explosion.

Milk is needed for several things, so I need a case of canned milk.

I thought the guy who usually does the pig would be roasting it? Where are you getting the pig and how much (lbs and money) for it .., give me some details.., how much for pig roster etc.., I've roasted plenty of pigs and used this outfit http://www.hessbbq.com/rentals.asp for everything. They supplied me with everything, the pig, roaster, and sauce. Been a while since I've roasted one with charcoal but it's a piece of cake. This is not to say I want to do it but I will if necessary. Hmmmmmmm roast pig, save me the snortin' muscles.

News to me Mary,, sorry, I just asked becuase your post made it sound as if there was now money to get a pig but that you had no one to roast it. BTW since donations are paying for most of this feed what is the cost to have this pig roasted and how big of a pig is it. Just wondering? Did you talk with the guy who made the homemade ice cream?

heal sheneequa and cause her to attend
give trail angel mary my friend netas mouse quiet voice
make jester forget i owe him 70 bucks
make little one forget i owe her 40 bucks
make pat and vicky my mom and dad so the doyals my home too
make jesters mom use sugar free stuff in my cake
cause a truck to spill test strips and glucose out front my apt
suddenly cause a cold front so i can sell my art today
and finnaly, so the feed is big and attracts the crowds we had once, cause the sussquhanna to reverse cource bringing the attention of the world to bear down on dunncannon and make all the news trucks and hords devour all the food so the feed is their only hope.

[wyclif]

I need a ride from Arden, Delaware (a few miles north of Wilmington, DE) to the Billville feed. I can help with gas expenses. I'm a nice guy and a well-behaved human being. If you are heading up there for the weekend and can let me hitch, please get in touch. Thanks!

No photos or story? Actually, I did a story on the Billville feed (http://www.hooptimeonline.com/courogen/pages/billfeed.html) a couple years ago. And have written about the Doyle (http://www.hooptimeonline.com/courogen/pages/doyle.html) and Duncannon (http://www.appalachiantrail.org/docs/atj/atj-may-june-2010.pdf) (scroll to page 7 on the link) a couple times. I just drove up yesterday to drop off cookies my daughters made. And since I was already in town, stopped at the Doyle to grab a burger and say hi to Pat and Vicky. Was also lucky enough to meet Miss Janet, who I had heard so much about but had not met.

Might also go back this evening to see the trailangels film they are showing, and Jester's PCT film.

Just got back from Duncannon. Mary and her crew (mostly 2011 people) knocked themselves out.....great times,great weekend, thanks to everyone who attended and to those who helped out in any way. Big thank you to so many local folks, Duncannon businesses, Pat and Vicki at the Doyle, etc. who all helped out in all sorts of ways, and as always, to Jester's Mom (who really needs to be running a bakery). The 2011 hikers are really a great group of people and it was wonderful to be able to spend time with some of them again.

I just heard my wife screaming down stairs in the kitchen. I ran down to find that one of those earwigs things had cornered my wife. I had to kill it and throw it outside. sheeese.

It came out of my "kitchen Tupperware container" that I took to the feed. dam

Thanks, Jack. And ditto to the thanks to the class of 2011 who helped in the kitchen and to my daughter and Mtn. Rose who also spent a ridiculous amount of time in the kitchen. And thanks to the class of 2010 members who came to help. They were the graveyard shift who did a lot on Friday nght to get ready for the Big A$$ Breakfast on Saturday. And thanks to Little Bird who challenged herself to be in the kitchen for every shift and not sleep any more than I did. She almost succeeded at the Trailangelmary challenge.

Just got back from Duncannon. Mary and her crew (mostly 2011 people) knocked themselves out.....great times,great weekend, thanks to everyone who attended and to those who helped out in any way. Big thank you to so many local folks, Duncannon businesses, Pat and Vicki at the Doyle, etc. who all helped out in all sorts of ways, and as always, to Jester's Mom (who really needs to be running a bakery). The 2011 hikers are really a great group of people and it was wonderful to be able to spend time with some of them again.

SAMPLE LETTER
Dear Trail Partners:
It is my great pleasure to support the application of Boiling Springs, Pennsylvania to be
designated an Appalachian Trail Community. From the time I first learned of the AT
Community program, I have felt that Boiling Springs was a natural to be so designated.
The village of Boiling Springs and the surrounding municipality of South Middleton Township
have been great partners with our Club over the years. They have stood shoulder to shoulder
with us in our efforts to protect the precious green strip that we call the Appalachian Trail.
We've received support from the municipal leaders as well as several other local organizations.
Boiling Springs has the honor to be one of a small number of towns through which the Trail
passes directly. But it can equally be said that the AT is lucky to pass through the town of
Boiling Springs. AT hikers frequently tell us of the unexpected pleasure they experience
walking on the gravel path along Childrens Lake as kids feed the ducks and anglers try to catch a
big one. As a recent thru-hiker of the AT, I can tell you that Boiling Springs is well known for
its hospitality and friendliness to strangers who pass through town.
One of the best parts of hiking the entire AT was experiencing the wonderful trail towns along
the way. We at CVATC are lucky to have one of the best right here in our backyard!!
Sincerely yours,

[birchy]

RE: Trail Community Designation


Dear Trail Partners:

It is my great pleasure to support the application of Duncannon, Pennsylvania to be
designated an Appalachian Trail Community. From the time I first learned of the AT
Community program, I have felt that Duncannon was worthy and deserving of such a designation. The town of Duncannon and the surrounding area have been great partners and supporters of the Appalachian Trail and its various trail clubs. The Government and the people of Duncannon have made great effort to protect the precious green strip that we call the Appalachian Trail, and to provide trail users with a quality experience

Duncannon also has the honor of being one of a small number of towns through which the Trail passes directly. But it can equally be said that the AT is lucky to pass through the town of Duncannon, PA. AT hikers frequently report of the unexpected pleasure they experience walking Market Street in Duncannon. As a hiker and supporter of the AT, I can tell you that Duncannon is well known for its hospitality and friendliness to strangers who pass through this exceptional town. One of the best parts of hiking the AT is experiencing the wonderful trail towns along the way. It is my personal opinion that Duncannon and the Appalachian Trail share a common bond, that is, they both benefit from each other’s existence. It is therefore my opinion that Duncannon should be so designated as an “Appalachian Trail Community”.

Sincerely yours,

[trailangelmary]

Dont forget that Thimble helped you count your supplies. Just saying.

AT hikers frequently report of the unexpected pleasure they experience walking Market Street in Duncannon.

Market St is the official blue blaze alternate route, not AT proper. Blue Blazes Rock! :D

You bet Sly. The Doyle, The Pub, Sorrrentos, my apartment, post office, Sled works (where they sell local artists products and antiques now and used to make Lightning Guiders - They have some gigantic ones on display) and 3-B's Ice Cream. A small cone is 2 1/2 dips. You can't get a large in a cone, only in a dish!

[trailangelmary]

Yep, Jeff. Thanks to both of you for helping me while you were in town. You were the muscle and she was the brains!
