Just a suggestion...
Although *I* think the MW is fitting there are some drawbacks. I'll list a few I can think of off the top of my head:
- Cost
- Late comers can't join (unless they're really good swimmers) because once the MW leaves, that's it!
- We probably can't bring our own food (not a huge problem but I recall eating some to-die-for chilli someone made last year!)
- The fest times are limited to the time we're on the MW
- And would they possibly have rules about us holding a raffle? I'd hope not but that's something to consider...
In short... It's a good idea but there might be a
BETTER one that suits all nicely.
HOWEVER...
Without being a total buzz kill... a mini-fest there (aka gathering of friends) might really rock at that location.
Just my $0.02.
p.s.
I jumped in to help organize things last year because I didn't want to see the event be a no-go. It was great meeting everyone and the Loon Preservation Center was great!
