As tradition has it, the climbing community provided Beanfest bean burrito potluck dinner will be Saturday evening beginning at 4: 30PM. After dinner there will be the community beaning and some fun evening events. (There may be some climbing events during the day to be announced later). THE POTLUCK: The Beanfest started on Mt. Lemmon somewhere around thirty years ago by a group of climbers that appear to have been university students and friends who had climbed together and then had finished school, had moved away or slowly drifted apart due to the callings of life. One year, they all agreed to bring bean burrito fixings and sides (refried beans, tortillas, chips, salsa, grated cheese, shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, sliced onions, liquid refreshment, etc.) enough for them-self and one or two others. This was the beginning of the Beanfest and is the spirit of this Fall 2009 Beanfest. The Bean Master for the 2009 Fall Bean Master is Steven Johnson of Tucson, please contact him at 520 795-1073 to coordinate your additional contributions to the food beyond what is indicated in the "THE POTLUCK:" paragraph. If you have other cooking utensils, eating items (cups, plats, flatware), stoves, tables, etc. that you would like to offer, please contact him to coordinate those items. Also, the Bean Master is looking to the climbing community for monetary assistance with the purchase of the liquid refreshment and the T-shirts printing expenses which tend to be exorbitant. See you there on November 7th & 8th, 2009 for a few days of climbing, fun and socializing.
