Alumni BBQ & Swap Swap – Albion, MI

On Saturday afternoon (June 25, 2022) we will have our annual Alumni BBQ and Swag Swap at the newly-acquired Spectacle Lake Outdoor Club (11450 25 ½ Mile Rd, Albion) 

Essentially, SLOC will be open for all Alumni, their families and up to 2 guests per Alumni member for the weekend. Feel free to arrive after 9AM Saturday and stay until Sunday until 5PM. Saturday is the only day with an agenda of events. Sunday is just hanging out with good folks.

THE BBQ:

Saturday – June 25
12:00 Noon – 5:00pm
THIS IS A FAMILY-FRIENDLY EVENT

MDFI provides the meat, guests bring a dish to pass.
Although we hope some guests bring some soda or juice beverages to pass, please be prepared to bring a beverage of your choice. Water is available on site to fill water bottles. Alcoholic beverages are permitted IAW law and responsible drinking practices. Anyone drinking alcoholic beverages and carrying/handling firearms in any way, shape, or form will be asked to leave at a minimum. (One of those things that should not need to be said, but we need to say it.)

It’s a BBQ. Have fun with it. Be safe and responsible. Easy-peasy.

THE SWAG SWAP:

Saturday – June 25
10AM – 5:00pm
THIS IS A FAMILY FRIENDLY EVENT

Bring all gear and guns you want to sell and make some $$$ Please bring a table or blanket/tarp for the ground if you can. THERE IS NO SHOOTING AT THIS EVENT. Yes, we have ranges on site but they are not to be used. Aside from lawfully carried firearms (handguns only please) no firearm you bring to sell will be loaded in any way. 

ALL FIREARMS BROUGHT TO SELL WILL HAVE A ZIP TIE THROUGH THE ACTION OF THE FIREARM. (Its a small/cheap task for a quick and visual way to make sure we are being as safe as possible.) All things* (As allowed by law) are allowed at the swag swap. There will be a donation bin for unwanted gun parts/accessories for the MDFI Alumni that you just can’t sell. The MDFI Swag Store will be open here as well.

Firearms WILL be handled at all times IAW the Four Rules of Responsible Firearms Handling

Bonfire Hangout, Zombie Shoot, Shenanigans, etc:

Saturday – June 25
6:00pm – ????
GROWN UP TIME

Bring a sweatshirt, a stogie if you wish and your favorite drink to enjoy as we relax and tell stories around the fire. This is grown up time. Nuff’ said. As above, you drink – you don’t carry a firearm. The Annual MDFI Zombie Shoot will happen as well- Be prepared! 

CAMPING ON SITE:

Saturday Night

You are more than welcome to camp on the property Saturday night at no charge. This is an Alumni event and all camping is free. There is no electric / water, but we will have a couple port-a-johns. (There will also be drinking water on site). Please plan accordingly and make sure that you can survive without running a generator for a night so not to disturb other folks. (Power for cell phones, etc is available at the clubhouse but there are limited outlets…but hey, you’re at a party so get out of the Matrix for a day or two!) 

PETS / ANIMALS:

We cannot have any animals aside from canaries or goldfish due to past experiences. We certainly understand this may be a selling / not selling point for some, and for that we can not budge but do so with our apologies.

GUESTS:

We ask that Alumni only bring their immediate families plus two additional guests. Please know that you will be responsible for your guest’s that attend.

QUESTIONS:

For those that have questions after reading all of this, all good! Shoot us an email at info@trainMDFI.com and we will get you squared away!
