Ocala BBQ: Militiafest 2009

Food, Patriots, good friends and the great outdoors. What else is there?

DATE: Saturday, December 19, 2009
TIME: 10:00am - 6:00pm
PLACE: Ocala, FL (Contact me for the exact address)
HOSTED BY: Florida Free Militia
Facebook Group: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=142399864237

Well, it is time that we have a party for everybody to come to. We will be providing hot dogs and hamburgers, and maybe even baked beans. Jeannie will make her famous red potato salad. We will provide soda. We ask that everybody pitch in and bring something, but at least bring yourself. If you like, bring your friends too. Bring strangers that you meet on the way. All are welcome unless you are vampires, socialists or other members of the New World Order. No alcohol, please.

This will be a social event only. There will be no training or physical stress, other than eating and talking. It will be an opportunity for everybody to meet us, meet each other, and get a feeling for who's who. We will be discussing what we are about, and what the militia is about. Come down and listen, talk, or just eat. But by all means come down.

The BBQ will be from on Saturday afternoon. You can either come for the day, or you can camp over. You are welcome to setup a tent in our hosts yard, but there will not be electrical or sewer hookups. Dress warm, as this is an outside event. There will be a bonfire at night. Be advised that the only meal we are planning to provide will be lunch on Saturday. Those of you wishing to stay over should plan for additional meals, should you wish to eat more than one meal that weekend. For those wishing to eat out, there is a wonderful BBQ place right around the corner. The food is very good, but be advised that they only accept cash. We have been known to go there as a group and have a fantastic time.

The Ocala Public Shooting Range is not too far away, and it's free to shoot there. We will be heading there on Sunday morning. Anyone who is still there on Sunday morning is welcome to come with use. Bring your firearms and ammo if you wish to join in. If you wish to shoot, but don't have a firearm, there will be some available for you to borrow.

Again, because firearms will be present, there will be no alcohol allowed at this event. Please respect this request. (Trust me, we are not a bunch of prudes. Just being overly cautious.)

We understand that many of you have no gear, and that is fine. The only thing you are required to bring is your brain, a good attitude, and a sense of humor. We hope that you will bring some type of food too eat, as that will make it more fun. Think of it as an opportunity to demonstrate team participation.

There is no cost for this even, but donations to help cover our costs are always much appreciated.
