2011 Season

Hey Everyone !!!

Open Grill Night 2011 is just around the corner and there are big changes in store for this year. We are looking for additional Open Grill Night hosts this year. If you would like to host please contact Dustin or Matt, or just email invite@opengrillnight.com

Here's how it works... Matt & Dustin will be opening up their house on the last Saturday of the month from May through September. Open Grill Night starts at 7PM. Everyone is invited, guest are not just welcomed but encouraged. Additional hosts are encouraged to sign up to host Open Grill Night so we can get together more than once per month.

Everyone is asked to bring a contribution for the grill such as burgers, sausages, chicken, etc. Just enough for yourself then it can be made up special for you or contributed to pot-luck for all to share. Everyone is also asked to bring either an appetizer, side or desert to share pot-luck style.

Matt & Dustin usually start the event out with a party beverage, other hosts may do something different - check the blog or invite for weekly specifics. Anyone who would like something special should bring the beverage of their choice.

To be added to the list please send an email to Invite@OpenGillNight.com.

Storm Damage

I was laying in bed last night and heard a loud noise, it wasn't until this morning that I saw a giant tree limb hovering over the patio.  The giant limb was tangled between some other limbs above and the patio lights below.

Open Grill Night is Extended !!!

I hope you all had a great weekend, we know many of you were vacationing the past few days. In the meantime, we had another great Open Grill Night at our house with some of our regular guests along with a few new faces.

We’re excited to announce that Open Grill Night will be extended past Labor Day into the fall. There is no “official” end date currently set for Open Grill Night. I guess we’ll end when it starts to get too chilly out or Matt & I just get sick of you all … whichever comes first.

CANCELED - August 2nd

Open Grill Night has been canceled for this week. After several months of illness my grandfather passed away today, he had been in the hospital or skilled nursing unit for several weeks now. I’m glad I got to see him during my trip a few weeks ago. I have not yet made plans to attend the funeral, I may or I may not – regardless I doubt I’ll be in the mood to entertain and party tomorrow.

Sorry for the short notice. Open Grill Night will return next week, August 9th beginning at 7 PM. We’ll see you then.
