Forum Fest-2011

SIKSUKR · 05-19-2011, 01:17 PM

Was there actually a time window discussed? As usual I'm working that weekend but don't have to be in Manchester till 4.

Meredith lady · 05-20-2011, 03:59 PM

Our beloved Webmaster Don cannot make August 13th. That is the only Saturday all summer he is not available. He willingly said to hold it without him, but that is not an option as far as i am concerned. So, back to the drawing board!!

Agreed....no Don no 'Fest. Don always has my back at the 'Fest....

ghfromaltonbay · 05-21-2011, 06:02 PM

I agree. How about Saturday Aug. 6th? If it gets pushed out to Saturday Aug. 20th, it would fall on the same weekend as the past 2 years which seems to lock out the same group of people who were unable to attend in 2009 and 2010. Also, by the 20th some kiddies are headed back to school.

I second that date!

Should we start the Fest at 11:00 am?

Maybe you or the Meredith lady would like to have it at you residences and possibly have a sleep over. Why waste valuable time???

Good idea RLW.

Meredith Lady and I actually do have a Rattlesnake Island sleep-over in the works, but I'm afraid our place cannot handle the whole ForumFest crowd or the extra boats for that matter!

I was thinking 11:00 am might be helpful for those who have commitments later in the day, like SS and Sunset Bob.

August 6th at 11 am at Center Harbor....perfect. Any comments??

RailroadJoe · 05-25-2011, 07:44 AM

Fairly new and not having not been to one previous. Where in Center Harbor? Thanks.

At the Center Harbor Beach Pavilion, which is right next to the public docks.

(From 2010 Shakedown Cruise - Pavilion is in the right side of photo.)

(The Webmaster's close-up of the festivities.)

On Route 25, down the driveway that is next to E. M. Heath Hardware.

Sounds great! 11:00 am - what? 2:00 pm or 3:00 pm? 3:00 pm would potentially allow more members to drop by.

I have a call in to the Center Harbor Parks & Recreation Department to see if this date and times are available.

LadyJane · 05-25-2011, 09:05 AM

Oh good !!! that is my last day up there, but I think I can swing by for a little while on my way out. It will be so nice to meet people !

Lakesrider · 05-25-2011, 12:18 PM

Awesome. I think I am actually off on that Saturday for once......
Maybe I can make it now.....

SIKSUKR · 05-25-2011, 12:30 PM

Thanks RG but I don't have to work on the 6th so I'll be sleeping over. I'll anchor just off off RI on my PWC. Can RGu run cable out there?

Oops. Just realized I have a wedding in Portland on the 6th. Darn. Forget about the sleepover.

SteveA · 05-26-2011, 06:33 PM

Previous 2 years I missed because of the Timberman... The LSP Memorial Scholarship Tournament is always the 1st Saturday in August.

I'll miss the FF for the 3rd straight year.

Pineedles · 05-26-2011, 07:07 PM

In as much that SteveA has been a tremendously valuable contributor to this forum for his evenheaded and informative posts, as well as being the person responsible for the very successful Loon Center Forum Fest several years ago, and that he has been unable to attend the last several forum fests due to his commendable efforts with the Timberman event, I respectfully ask that you all consider a new date for the Forum Fest.

Thank you all for your consideration,

Pineedles

Rattlesnake Gal · 05-27-2011, 09:38 AM

I have called twice about us reserving the Center Harbor Pavilion for August 6th. The lady at the town office said that the bandstand area is free, but I would have to talk to the Parks and Recreation manager about the pavilion at the beach area. She wasn't too sure about the date, because it is still such a busy time of year. I also sent off an e-mail today, so hopefully we will know soon.

Be thinking of alternate dates and locations!

Pineedles, and everyone else..

Thanks for the comments...

Really, no need to change any date for me. I wasn't complaining, well, maybe whining a little.

The date for Forum Fest will never be able everyone that would like to attend happy.. never. Majority rules, I'd feel terrible if changing it for me would freeze out anyone else. I'm sure all of us longtimers feel the same way.

Now you know how I felt about having it on the 3rd Sat. in Aug. for several years in a row. Since I live 6 hours from Center Harbor, it's not a day trip for us.

Argie's Wife · 05-27-2011, 01:44 PM

I haven't been able to make the past couple of FF's either and would love to go... 8/6 and 8/20 are the only two dates for the whole summer that I'm booked, I'm afraid...

But I know it's VERY difficult to get a date everyone can make it.

winnisummergal · 05-27-2011, 03:37 PM

We're in town the 13th thru the 27th this year...almost made one.

August 6th looks good to me as well, and I think having a start time at 11 is a fantastic and considerate idea, as RG has mentioned, for those that have to travel!

Just Sold · 05-24-2011, 03:46 PM

I vote for Aug 6th. I have to be in the Center Harbor area that day anyway so I know that I will be dropping by.

No contest without Don!.. In all of my years here, I only got to visit some of our favorite forum folks at a minni fest at Waldo Peppers! It Was HOT!

, and filled with love.

I still think that we should look for a annual date that gives all of us the chance to plan ahead for. Forum folks aren't always At The Lake, and there are other considerations that may bring us closer together. I would agree that it is not an easy solution, #1 that I spend lots of my time in Dallas/Fort Worth these days, and we have so many that are scattered around the entire World! ( now, backing off a little, NO One misses trfour

, ( shot at and missed many times ).

... Let us keep a bigger picture in focus though...

May all of the winter's snow leave and find us all in a better place. Summer is a more favorable time of year to get together!

Even though I haven't made it to one yet - not for lack of trying! - Don is a must at a FF! Without Don, there is no Forum and thus no Fest!
