Potluck for

Summer Eat Together at Kristin Janz and Donald Crankshaw's

Saturday, Aug 9, 2025 Noon to 4pm

Welcome to Granite City's Summer Eat Together Gatherings! Join us for a meal at the home of Kristin Janz and Donald Crankshaw. Here's what you need to know: TIME & LOCATION You can start showing up at noon. The event ends at 4pm. Kristin and Donald live in Quincy. We will email the exact address to all participants in advance of the gathering. Look out for an email a few days before the date that says "via Meal Train." This will contain any timely info you need to know about the event (address, parking situation, cancellation in case of rain). FOOD We'll provide the main course: barbecued beef brisket and pork ribs. If you want to contribute, you can bring a side, dessert, or beverage. ENTERTAINMENT/SEATING This is primarily an outdoor event and we'll have outdoor seating. Any children who go inside the house must be accompanied by an adult. Kristin and Donald have cats so be aware that it is a cat-friendly home if you are allergic. Kristin and Donald have a swimming pool that will be available for guests to use. The shallow end will be clearly marked off by a rope. Please note that YOU MUST ATTEND YOUR CHILDREN at all times for their safety. Bring swimsuits and towels if you want to swim! In the event of rain, we'll announce a rain date. RSVPs Please RSVP! We require a head count in order to plan for seating and food. In order to make sure we have enough food and seating, RSVPs may close the day prior to the event. RSVP early! If you are definitely attending, your RSVP is your "sign up" for an item on this page. If you're not sure WHAT you'll bring or IF you will be bringing something, that's okay! You can list your item as "To be determined." In the notes section for your item, please tell us how many people (including kids) will be attending with you.

Please do not bring any items that contain peanuts or tree nuts. Thank you!
