What: It's a muddin' party. We're gonna slap mud on the house!!
Where: Here at the WindingRidge Homestead. For directions go to our "Map Location" page.
When: The main
event will be Saturday, May 5. It is assumed that most folks will leave but there may be some who wish to stay or even show up on Sunday, May 6. It will start at 9:00am!
Bring:
Tools: You'll want to bring a sturdy pair of gloves. This is just to protect your hand from the scratchy surface of the strawbales. There will be no lime in the mud (at this point of the plan).
We could also use another extension ladder or two as well.
And if anyone has a 1/2" drill with a sturdy mixer we could use one or two of them, too.
Clothes: Bring a very soilable pair of clothes and a clean pair for your ride home.
Food: Bring a pot-luck dish of some sort be it a main dish, side dish or dessert for an afternoon meal. Hopefully we can find a kitchen person to head up the meal coordination.
Sleepover: Some of you may want to sleep over either Friday night or Saturday night. I have room for tents and such. I also have floor space in the house for a few pads and sleeping bags. If someone needs a slightly more comfortable setting, I have a small camper that one small family can utilize. Also, if need even more comfortable settings, there are some motels in Talihina. So... if you're staying over, you'll need to bring any tent gear and overnight gear.
Additional overnight items: It would be nice if we put together a campfire to sit around and play the guitar and goof off and sing or whatever.... I don't have the guitar or the ability to play one so if anyone comes that can do that... come on down!
People: Bring anyone who wants to come.
