IMPORTANT
Here's what we're thinking as far as the FattyFest schedule. We moved the date to when the 'cats play at texas, so that a watch party can be added to FattyFest and this becomes more of an all-day (and night!) event that justifies a special trip. Plan on being in MHK all day Saturday, and probably staying the night. We're going to work on getting some group rates at a hotel.
We don't know when the game starts. So, FattyFest in one form or another will start at 11:30-ish for registration/mingling/drinking, but obviously at 11 if that's when the game is.
With whenever the game is, the trivia and auction will be worked in around it. We plan to have lunch catered in around 12:30 or 1, and that should end up being during the football game, or just before the football game or during/before trivia. We expect all of our stuff will be wrapped up by dinnertime and we'll informally do dinner together somewhere that could handle it, or there'll be a break for dinner after trivia and before the football game if it's primetime. Whenever everything's done, PAK if you're still standing.
We think that'll account for whenever the game might be so that we can adjust and have the watch party, lunch, trivia and auction all at Mae's as part of FattyFest and with dinner/PAK'n too. If we missed something obvious that screws that up, tell me.
STRAIGHT TO THE BOTTOM: Get your calendars straight to be in MHK by 11 on Saturday 10/7 and to either have a ride home late Saturday night or be heading home Sunday morning.
Note that we're putting this out there almost 3 months in advance so this is by far the most diligent we've been in years. This year's FattyFest will deliver.
