BIG CHILL PRELIMINARY PLANNING HEAD COUNT

THIS IS NOT A COMMITMENT this is a non-binding "BEST GUESS" attempt at  planning.

In  order to plan for meals and facilities it is necessary to get some rough estimate of the numbers of people we might expect - and to get some understanding of what would be acceptable in terms of costs. 

So please just offer your best guess preference so we can get an idea of numbers:
The dates start on May 22nd - Friday evening of Memorial Day Weekend

YOU CAN POST YOUR ANSWERS IN THE COMMENTS TO THIS POST BELOW

WHEN will you arrive? Fri 22nd Sat 23rd?

How long would you stay? Mon 25th of later? 

How many will be in your party? (we welcome spouses, significant other's, traveling companions, your children & grandchildren, pets, and little green women or other aliens. 

Do you plan to camp on the property or will you be arranging for lodging? 
Do you have an RV or other camping vehicle? (pickup truck or van) 

Would something like 50 dollars per person for 2 cooked meals and 2 lunches with sandwiches and breakfast self-service items etc on Sat and Sunday be acceptable? (also to cover the cost of a large tent and porta potties?)
in order to start planning for food and waste facilities we need to get an idea of how many people will be coming and for how long.- Just give us your best guess for you and whomever you are bringing with.
As a preliminary organizational necessity the folks who want to help plan for the care and feeding of those who are interested in attending the BIG CHILL REUNION on Memorial Day Weekend 2015 I am asking for your best guess so we might begin to make some plans. The earlier we start to reserve space and plan for meals, porta potties, a canopy, and possible caterers the better. So at this point we just need to see who is interested in attending - and on which dates.
The general idea at present would be for people to begin to arrive on Friday evening the 22nd of May - the big days and nights for music and memories will likely be Sat the 23rd and Sun the 24th - with festivities continuing through Mon Memorial Day the 25th. We can plan for food for some or all of those days.
So please indicate in the comments below this post when you think you might arrive - Fri? Sat? and how long you might remain - thru Sun or Mon or further (there is no limit and some will be around for the week)
And lastly - do you favor the idea of pooling $$ for food for a group meal for both Sat and Sun - with sandwich fixings for lunch and snacks in addition? WE have a cousin who does barbeque competitions with a fine rig for that purpose - is that something you would favor.
