Any interest in a Philly area BBQ?

I gave a quick call to Valley Forge Park. They gave me the name of the person I need to contact, who works Mon-Fri. But they did tell me we would need a permit, but it is very easy to get. It only costs around $40. I like the Valley Forge idea because it's scenic, historic, and most of all HUGE. It has a 10 mile road that winds all through the park for a nice cruise. Plus tons of BBQ space. And as Corky said, easy availability to most of the major highways.

Corky, I agree that I want to keep this simple. If we do a fund raising thing, I'd like to make it nice and easy. Like you said, the first time out should be simply planned. If it turns out to be huge, we can try to do more the following year. But I definitely want it to be fun for everyone and have some options.

I'm thinking early June, so it is a few weeks before DVSFIII, or July/August (but I'm concerned that it may be too hot). At this moment, I think maybe early June is best, because it's not super hot and it will stay light until 8:00 or 8:30. But those are just my initial thoughts.
