If you have been to a party already you probably already know all this stuff.  But to make it simple, the down and dirtly list..

What to bring?

Required!!!

Bring minimum 1 lb per adult raw  RAW, RAW seafood/shellfish (scallops, shrimp, lobster, muscles, crab, crayfish, clams, etc)

No FISHper say... (like don't bring salmon or a trout, will disintegrate in the pot),   Shellfish Only!  Don't bring something that can't be boilled.

Recommended

• Lawn/camping chairs if you want to sit.
• Sunscreen if you don't want to burn
• Beverages of your choice.
• Cooler for above and other snacks.

Optional

• Dessert or side dish for the big buffet tent.
• Bug spray (but usually not bad)
• Fishing pole and tackle (catch and release)
• Lawn games if you like (we have bags and volleyball)
• If you really really don't like seafood, bring your own meat, we have a grill, but your are on you own to cook it..
• Anything else that floats your boat   (BUT NO FIREWORKS please)

Note

No cover charge, ever (other than RAW seafood), but many folks want to contribute funds (party has gotten bigger, and bigger)

If you want, bring some cash for the party tip jar, most appreciated, but completely optional.  Donations help the party get better...
