Ok heres the deal, to rent the picnic shelter at any of the metro parks its roughly $150(at metro beach) and then $4-6 to park.

So if we where do to do a state park We/I would need $5 per person to pay for the shelter plus food. If this is Decided I would need the money from people who are going to be attending ASAP to reserve the picnic shelter.
