How much are the tickets?
 

One quick question: How much $ for each ticket?

Thanks, Pepper, for making this possible for those of us "from away". Hopefully I can drop my check off in person.

One quick answer - one ticket, one dollar. :) Same as last year.

I, too, hope you can make your request in person! :D (tell your Dad he's ready for a road trip!) ;)

Celebrate FF III Sept. 24
 

A BIG Thank You to Pepper and those others who are coordinting this years FFF III.
I have not been able to participate in any planning etc. as Pepper knows but I am planning to be there the 24th. :)
Get a look at the # of views of this thread - so there has to be interest in this years FF III.

RG are you planning on a repeat raffle win this year? If so I know someone who will be lurking around to beat you out! May the best person win!!!!

Who's the BEST?????? PEPPER, that's who!
 

Thanks Pepper -- you are truly the BEST! :cheers:

The check is in the mail!
 

Any body want to take a chance on blanket (quilt)?:rolleye2:
I don't know how this happens but I am working again. Perhaps we will meet some of you in the winter. It is only a few short months away....:eek: Do I hear bed races?

Absolutely! Can't be there in person, but would sure like to take a chance on that quilt!

FFIII Is Coming Along!
 

Yes, thank you Pepper and others!

Are you crazy? :eek2: I am not going to risk the wrath of Mee! I will be placing my tickets in other raffle items thank you. :laugh:

Wrath you say
 

"Mee" says she'll be bringing cookies and Mexican bean dip. We can bring table(s) again if needed. Any guess on how many are planning to be there so I can figure out soft drinks & waters ? Perhaps we should do a final tally poll ? Lastly, have no fear RG, bid away.

Mee - glad to know you'll be baking and cooking again! MMMMMMmmmmmm!!! :D

Mac - good idea about the tables! Also, I have one we can make use of too! ;)

A running tally is also a great idea! Perhaps if I start a list here, folks can do a cut-n-paste of the list and add their names, so we'll constantly have a freshly updated list at the top! So, here goes with all those I know for sure are coming, along with a few who are gonna try their darndest to make it ...

invite
 

What is the Form FestIII?
Can i get a invite i feel like i am part of the lake.

Thank You,

MIKE WELSCH:confused::liplick:

That's easy!
 

Forum Fest is a casual gathering of the various people who post on this site. This is it's third year and each year gets better and better. In order to become a part of the great event, you simply have to show up and slap on a name tag. How easy is that! I'm sure Pepper will insist that you attend since you have such a connection to the lake and good causes as well. We talk, eat and have a good time putting faces to screen names. Then there is the raffle . . . always for a good cause. Speaking of which . . . how about some more raffle items!! We need more stuff to raffle off. Anybody got some good stuff??

We will be there
 

Hey all,

Pepper can take us off the possible list... SteveA & "She who must be obeyed" will be at FF III.

I'll bring a big pot of my Chilli....

SteveA

Updated to reflect Steve A in the affirmative!

Let me guess, SteveA ... a Rumpole fan, no? ;)

which reminds me....I have the left-over name tags from last year! I'll bring them along! I have no clue what to bring for a raffle item. Maybe like a cool T-shirt or Sweatshirt from the winni.com store. ????? Do we need more tables?
:cool:
is the running of the crazy people over to the web-cam event still scheduled to take place? How about a secret showing of the all-powerful, yet still unused, forum bed racer?
:)

Well, McD, the Forum's "Bed Racer" is pretty much in cold storage at this time. I don't even have all the racer's parts right now, as some other Forum members were helping "spruce them up", but when the race was cancelled all urgency to complete the racer's preparations evaporated.

I think at this point it might be best to hold the "unveiling" of the supercharged Forum racer until the actual race itself ... next February! (All the various pieces will be assembled then!! :laugh: )

Waterbaby - thanks for fixing the count to indicate SteveA in the affirmative! I've been straight-out for a couple of days, and missed that post, so thanks for your administrative assistance! ;)

LockesIslander - I'm heartbroken to hear that you won't be joining us this year, but thrilled to know that you'll be spending time with your buddies at the reunion!!! :D

McDude - I'm not sure how many tables Mac is bringing, but we'll be bringing one. Not sure how many we need, but an extra couldn't hurt! :look: Also, are you attending solo? I just want to know if we should remove the "?" beside your name!

DRH - keep the super-racer in hiding! We don't want to give any competitors a chance to gaze in wonder! :eek:

Tables
 

We can bring 1, 2 or 3 so I'll plan on 2 for now and we'll take it from there. We're scratching our heads on a raffle item as well but I have an idea to run past "Mee".

RE: the Super-Bed - I agree. Them ABCCC boys are pretty crafty, wouldn't want to give away any of our secrets to them ! ;)

Another raffle item!
 

This just in! Island Girl will be bringing a truly unique offering for our FFIII raffle. We all know that she's a fabulous photographer, but did you know she does framing, too? Well, she does, and she'll be bringing a pair of 8x10 prints, in frames that she has hand painted. The photos are companion photos, one of which can be viewed below ...
http://www.winnipesaukee.com/photopo...n000880093.jpg

One word ... WOW!

That photo by Island Girl is one of the best on photopost and has been used as my screensaver often! (good choice!) I will be attending solo so we can scratch the "?" .....and.....I was only kidding about the forum "bed racer"!!!!
:D

....ah...finally thought of a raffle item that may be of interest. A book entitled "Remember When...A Collection of Old Photographs of Wolfeboro, NH - A Bicentennial Project of the Wolfeboro Chamber of Commerce- Edited by Kathy O'Meara - Copyright 1976. My copy of this book has most of the pages pulled out of it so I could scan them for photopost. This copy, however, is in perfect condition. The binding isn't even broken. 196 pages with at least one photo (usually two!) per page. A real gem!

Forum Fest III
 

Count us in -- if we have the girlies, we'll bring them along so they can meet everyone. Looking forward to meeting everybody!!!
Gravy

9/10 Updated Attendee List
 

I'll be there.Would some of my photos printed 8X10 and framed(not hand painted like IG's)be good raffle items?

Well YEAH!!!!

Now, for the record, will you be attending solo, or will you be in the company of your beautiful, ever-smiling other-half??? :D

EDIT: Or does your signature, which I just noticed, answer my question?:o

Update 9/10/06
 

I just added a friend to my guest number, he is a lurker to the forum:)
Also does the raffle item have to be associated with Winni? I have a lovely pedestal serving dish with matching plates still new in the box that I would love to donate to the raffle. Now if I can figure out what to bring for the munchies, any suggestions?
