What Even Is The Big Shabang?
Our Mission
Where rowdy meets relaxed — welcome to The Big Shabang!
This isn't just another get-together–it's a weekend tradition where country roads lead to great memories, laughs echo through the trees, and stories are shared around the fire long after the sun goes down.
We're serving up more than just a long weekend–we're celebrating a way of life. So kick off your boots, join the fun, or sit back and enjoy the ride. However you spend your weekend, you're family here.
Meet The Team
Chris- The Guy Who Keeps It Rolling
He always makes sure the playlist is just right, the campfire never goes out, and there's always room for one more chair around the flames. Chris has a knack for making everyone feel right at home and is always up for a good conversation–whether it's a quick chat or one that lasts until the fire burns down. Whether you've known him for years or just met him around the bonfire, he'll make you feel like you've always belonged.
Kerry- Co-Captain
Planner, host, hype woman, and firm believer that the best weekends are built on good food, great people, and plenty of laughs. She makes sure everyone has what they need, whether that's a full plate, a cold drink, or a little encouragement to join the fun. Equal parts organized and sarcastic, she's just as likely to hand you a shot as she is to give you a hard time.
Around here that's just how we say
Welcome to the Family!!!
So Much Room For Activities!
Rain or shine...
🎉 Join us for a weekend full of family-friendly fun and summer vibes! 🎉
From BBQ, cold drinks, ATV rides, and pond swimming to knockerball, cornhole tournaments, fireworks, and late-night talks around the campfire, there's something for everyone!
🏕️ 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
