Join the Chicago Parrothead Club for a fun outdoor social event at Herrick Lake in Wheaton, IL. Herrick Lake is a really pretty forest preserve with fishing, and tons of hiking and biking trails. We’ve rented the South Shelter which has picnic tables for 50 people and a fireplace. Cheryl Wegner and Sharon Klupar are planning to cook a cast iron, dutch oven campfire lunch with Beef Stew and Cherry Cobbler for dessert. If you are a cast iron cook and you’d like to join in on the cooking, please let Cheryl Wegner know at cherylwegner9@gmail.comSaturday Oct. 23 (following the highway clean up) 9 am-cooking will start 1 pm-lunch served (no need to bring anything extra!) BYOB-alcohol is not permitted Location-the southeast corner of Butterfield and Herrick Roads in Wheaton. Parking lot is off Herrick Road, follow the signs to the south shelter. If you’re a biker, bring your bike. If you’re a fisherman, bring your tackle–the south shelter if lakeside and the fishing is good right there, and believe it or not, they have a vending machine with live bait! Please bring any board games or activities to play! $5 per person donation for food will be collected at the event There should be plenty of picnic table seating, but bring your bag chairs if you’d like.
