Hellobee Boards

@locavore_mama: Thanks for the suggestion on the rolls - I lowered the count due to the choice of cornbread but you are right and people may want multiple of each! And yes, they're smaller, but a bigger than I would call a slider.
The roast is 7 lbs. I can buy another on Friday if needed. I have three crockpots at my ready and was doing the roast in the big guy, and one chicken in each. During the party I'll have each meat pulled and warming with the beans in the third. And there is a single vegetarian, good friend. Everything is veg-friendly except the meat (I'm putting the bacon on the side of the popper dip).

@looch: Chips - check! People will probably also appreciate them for the dip so that is a great addition. I'll pick up a few bags of salt and pepper kettle chips.
And for the chicken, do you mean serve whole chicken pieces or buy the bone-in and pull it as I planned to do with the whole chicken? I don't think I'll have the ability to cook whole pieces in advance (hence the use of the crock pot) in a way that they'll serve nicely. But I could certainly pile a whole lot in the crock pots and still shred it up for serving on sandwiches/with cornbread.

For drinks: we'll have beer and wine for adults, sweet and unsweet tea, lemonade, and water. For the kids I will have juice boxes and boxes of milk (they're all over a year). Should I add soda for the adults?

@looch: Good idea! And I can easily fit a couple more breasts into the crock pots with the whole chickens.
