Menu will include, but not limited to:
Burgers, Brats, Dogs
Salads, chips, cake
Soda, Water, Ice tea, and Coffee BYOB if you want anything else.
You don't need a 914 to come. We have plenty of room. I have chairs, but its a good idea to bring your own.
Doors open 10:00am central, that's 11am for eastern time guys 
My address:
Garold Shaffer
6852 Prairie Run Ave

Location is my house in Portage Indiana just off the Indiana Toll road (Portage exit) and I-94 (exit 19).
Directions:
From I94 take Exit 19 (Portage / Port of Indiana) south to 1st stop light (Rt 20). Turn left (east) on RT 20 to first stop light, aprrox 1 mile (sameulson road). Turn Right (south) on Sameulson rd. Go to 3rd stop sign (central ave) and turn left (east) on Central Ave. My subdivison is on the left about 1/8 mile called Prairie Run. Turn in and stay left, we are 5th house on left. You will see my 914(s) in the drive. Don't worry about parking in my drive, all 914s mark their spots and I have cleaner.
I will put out a few signs with 914 & arrows on them once you get to central ave to help direct you on your way.
Location is my house in Portage Indiana just off the Indiana Tool road (Portage exit) and I-94 (exit 19).
Please PM me if you plan to attend so I can make sure we have enough food & drinks.

Well, since we just moved to the area, I pitched it to the wife and she's agreeable. 5ish hours isn't too bad if we make a weekend out of it.

Garold,
I have about 100 pictures to upload. Let me know where to send them so that everyone can view and download. I was thinking of using Shutterfly but I don't think that it allows free downloading.
Here's a taste.
Thanks again for hosting the party!
Had a blast!
