I will be there, but not sure when, maybe 12:00 - 16:00 depending on other stuff going on that day.
Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to provide watermelon this time.

Edit: departing East Lansing at 12:30 09/22.

Anyone from the West side of the state going? How about car pooling, the Lowell Park & Ride Hwy I-96 Exit 52. I'll gladly chip in.
