Chef Just remember Chef, “you don’t have to shovel heat”. Winters up here can be brutal as hell.
@Fat-Bob I’m willing to take on the snow - the older I get, the less I can take 105 to 110 F heat indexes and trying to smoke briskets, ribs, and chicken during the summer next to my pit is just unbearable

Chef If you lived in it all your life you wouldn’t say that. LOL

A get-together sounds great!
There really isn’t a best time of year for me. My schedule can be all over the place. I’m not worried about Winter, though. If I can go to Anchorage in January for a beer festival, I can get to Wichita for meat. If I had known about Walton’s back in September (when I was driving through Wichita and had all kinds of time on my hands), I would have loved to have stopped by.
For activities, I expect we’re just talking about what we can manage Friday evening, all Saturday, and maybe a Sunday morning breakfast/brunch. I’d love a tour of the Walton’s facility and a processing workshop or two. A chance to do some actual hands-on learning would be great (even if we’re sharing equipment). A fun Saturday lunch and evenings/nights with good cheer also sound great. I know there are some good breweries around Wichita, and I wouldn’t mind getting a chance to sample their wares (it certainly doesn’t have to be at the brewery, though).
As far as that cookoff that Tex_77 mentioned, I gotta be honest. It always sounds like fun, but I’ve always found that it is more hassle than it’s worth. A bunch of guys coming in from all over to get together (and maybe learn a thing or two) tend to get tired of formal scheduling fairly quickly. It doesn’t matter whether it’s at a campout or a conference. The longer the day goes, the more the crowd shifts from the sessions to the bar.
I expect there would be some cost, and I’m quite happy to pay my fair share.
If enough folks can make the time work, a group rate at good hotel would be nice to have.

That would be awesome, if I didn’t live in NJ haha do a facebook live for us. At least I’ll see you guys at the next pheasant fest

Jonathon and I will do some exploring and we’ll have to post a questionnaire out here with some more details. We would plan on getting a hotel block to get better rates for everyone, but we want to make it enjoyable for everyone and try to hit the most popular topics for demos (as long as it includes beer drinking…)
We will try to get some details out soon so we can start to gather input and figure out when to do the first “annual” meet-up. If anyone has further requests or input, please let us know!–Austin Walton

Tex_77 I can agree to that. The keyword is “drink”… Of any kind!

I thought I was going to be passing through Wichita to drive our son up to Denver, and I had hoped to stop by (even if only to wave from 6 feet away). He ended up flying, though, so no joy.
With any luck and grace, here’s hoping something like this can come together next year.
