What Even Is The Big Shabang?
Our Mission
Where rowdy meets relaxed — welcome to The Big Shabang!
This ain’t just any get-together… it’s a wild ride down a country road where good times roll, belly laughs echo through the trees, and memories are made under the stars.
We're serving up a lifestyle, not just a long weekend. So kick off your boots or dive into the chaos—either way, you're family here.
Meet The Team
Chris- The Guy Who Keeps It Rolling
Chris is the one behind the music, the firewood, and most conversations that may last longer than they should. He keeps the energy steady without needing the spotlight- just making sure folks are fed, comfortable, and having a good time.
Kerry- Co-Captain
Planner, host, hype woman, and the reason this whole thing doesn't go completely off the rails.
She has a sixth sense for snacks, suscreen, and shenanigans- and always keeps the playlist fire and the people fed.
She might hand you a shot or a sarcastic comment, depending on how things are going. Either Way? You're in good hands,
So Much Room For Activities!
Rain or shine...
🎉 Join us for a weekend full of family-friendly fun and summer vibes! 🎉
We’re talking BBQs, cool drinks, ATV rides, pond swimming, knockerball bouncing, cornhole showdowns, hot tub hangouts, fireworks, cozy fire pit chats, and plenty of laughter with great friends!
🏕️ Whether you bring a camper, pitch a tent, book a nearby hotel, or just swing by for a few hours—we’d love to have you however you can make it.
Come for the memories, stay for the good times. If you’re not having fun… you’re doing it wrong! 😄!
Would Ya Just Look At Us?!

Highly Unofficial Itinerary
Shabang Weekend Rundown
Friday after 5 - The celebration begins
Not for the weak of heart!!
If you roll in on Friday, you're signing up early- and you better be ready. We're kickin' things off with pizza, chicken nugs, cold drinks, and questionable decisions around the fire pit.
Saturday - Let the game begin!!
OSU Football Is Back Baby!!!
We're kicking off Saturday with a slightly-above-average breakfast (cause let's be honest, we're pacing ourselves). From there, it's wall-to-wall college football on big screens- inside, outside, and maybe even on the side of the barn if we get fiesty.
Expect grillin' all day, ice-cold drinks, and enough lawn games and shenanigans to make your inner freshman weep with joy. This is where the real weekend magic happens- and it don't stop 'til the fire pit gives out....or the last person does!
Sunday - Fireworks, Firewood and Firearms?
Day 2 and still goin' strong!
We're rolling into Sunday with a breakfast quiche served promptly at...whenever we crawl out of bed.
Shenanigans resume immediately, including a 21+ tasting menu that may or may not erase your memory of the afternoon.
Our guest chef will be smokin' up some exotic meats that'll make you question your life choices- in the best way possible. And just when you think the day's done?
We end Sunday Funday with a BANG-- a full-on fireworks show to light up the night and celebrate the red, white, and rowdy.
Because at The Big Shabang, we don't wind down, we blow up!!!
Monday - The day of recovery
Rated PG....Possibly G....Definitely Necessary
After 2 solid days of country fun, your body- and your liver- will be cryin' uncle. Monday is all about rest, hydration, and quiet reflection (possibly trying to remember what happened Saturday night lol)
We're not monsters though- there'll still be breakfast, maybe some BBQ leftovers, and a soft place to sit while you contemplate all the fun you had.
Take your time. Hug your friends. Pack up slow. And know that you just survived
The Big Shabang.
