Lucky1 · 06-09-2011, 02:28 PM

Did they say they were booked for the one that was used last year or do we just want to use a different place? Thanks for your efforts.

It would be really great to have it at Center Harbor again, but I cannot get a response back from them. Two phone calls and an e-mail ignored. If someone else would like to give it a try, I would appreciate it very much.

On the second phone call to Center Harbor, I think I spoke to the Town Clerk. It did not look like the Center Harbor Pavilion was booked for August 6th, but she wasn't sure they would let us reserve it because it is still a busy time of year for beach goers.

Rejoice WE HAVE AUGUST 6TH!! I know how busy our office people get but just called Center Harbor and got the name of Keith Roberts who is new and has been swampted! The woman there gave me his telephone number and I called immediately. I explained that the Winnipesaukee Forum wanted to use the pavillion on August 6th and that we raised money for a charity. Told him last year we gave to the food pantries etc. He said he had known and that date was fine. I said I would let you know as I honestly do not know the names to call!!! Keith can be reached at 603 455 1632 today if he is still in. Tomorrow he might be in Center Harbor? NOT SURE BUT HE HAD US DOWN FOR AUGUST 6 TH !!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you! I think we are the lucky ones today.

I just spoke to Keith and will firm things up with him tomorrow. He was in the middle of a thunderstorm.

Thanks again Lucky1!

Hi folks,

I am sure that I could talk my fellow band mates into donating our time for the Forum Fest if live music would be appropriate at the chosen location. We are The Lazy Boy Rockers, all in our 40's and 50's, and play a mixture of Americana, blues, outlaw country and rock (all played at a tasteful volume level). Thus far, the only gig we have booked in Aug. is the 27th.

Redwing · 06-10-2011, 03:15 PM

I love the idea of live music at the August 6th Forum Fest.....what a wonderful opportunity! How does everyone else feel about this generous offer?

Hermit Cover · 06-10-2011, 05:32 PM

Great idea...

RLW · 06-10-2011, 05:50 PM

It is so wonderful to read this thread or any thread that pertains to a FF. There are so many people that offer to take the bull by the horns so to speak and bring together a wonderful day for all to enjoy. All though this ole geezer has not attended a single one because of other commitments, he sure has enjoyed all the comments and pictures that come afterwards.

You all that help and get this fun day together have RLW's great BIG

THANK YOU

Rattlesnake Guy · 06-10-2011, 08:27 PM

I am channeling RG here at the lake over my shoulder.

The gentleman in Center Harbor is not sure what the deal will be with electricity for the FF. Not sure if it will be a generator or other arrangement. Does anyone remember what the situation was last year? Would it be practical to run a heavy cord from our friends at the near by Mount Washington building?

Not sure how this would impact music but the idea of music sounds great to me.

End channeling....

Meredith lady · 06-11-2011, 06:53 PM

How about a grill at the FF? kevin has a very large one and we could cook burgers, dogs, chicken...yummy. Live music?? LOVE IT...

It all sounds good to me. I haven't made a FF yet, but I may be able to this year.

Meredith lady · 06-16-2011, 08:17 AM

is it a go?? August 6th in Center Harbor? Live music and grilling? Early in the day.. maybe 10:30-2:30?? Water Camper (Sue) has agreed to mail out the raffle information. Others have offered to help as well with anything that needs to be done. Should i get the ball rolling once again??

ForumFest 2011 is a go!

I only have to fill out the paper work and mail it in.

Should there be any changes to this years invitation before I post it into it's usual yearly invitation thread?

Meredith lady · 06-16-2011, 09:05 AM

Perfect! After Bike Week we will get all the offers of help up and running...Have a great weekend!

Rattlesnake Gal · 06-16-2011, 10:24 AM

I called to see about the grill and Keith should be getting back to me tomorrow sometime.

I propose a change to the invitation:

I think it is time to change it to the Eighth Annual ForumFest, rather than ForumFest VIII. Sound okay?

Just Sold · 06-16-2011, 11:58 AM

8th is good with me!

Argie's Wife · 06-17-2011, 07:13 AM

I'd be happy to help with coordinating the raffle, if y'all would like my help.

Thanks for the offer of live music, but it might not work out at this location. Keith at the Center Harbor Parks and Recreation tells me that we will not have access to electricity. Because we are not the only group to be using the pavilion and beach area, he reminded me that if we were to have music, it would have to be at a very reasonable level. Sounds like you were on board with that anyway. Let us know if we should be expecting your group. Hope you can make it either way skibum. ForumFest is always a great time. Thanks again!

Lakesrider · 07-11-2011, 09:26 AM

Once again I will not be going. I have to work that Saturday. I had to switch so I could take a day off to get my Colonoscopy

on the 11th......Oh well. Have fun though. I'm sure it will be a great day.

Holy crap!That really stinks.

NHKathy · 07-25-2011, 07:03 PM

... I should be able to make it to this year's Forum Fest! Woo Hoo!!
It will be so nice to meet everyone! I will be coming with the hubby - NHKevin

I do have one question - where is the best place to park my vehicle? Is there a parking lot for the pavilion patrons? I usually just park down near the docks, but i'm ususally not there very long, and I know there's only a few spots there...

TOAD · 07-29-2011, 10:09 AM

Toad & Tadpole are planning to make it up for the fest if things work out.

Will be bringing up some stained glass items for the raffle. I hope if we manage to get there for the start that will be enough time to get the items into the raffle.

Looking forward to meeting some of you folks in person.

NHKathy · 08-06-2011, 10:42 PM

Had a great time at the Forum Fest today! So great to put faces to all the screen names! It was great to finally meet and thank our webmaster, Don in person! Also great to meet & chat with Meredith Lady, Rattlesnake Gal, Island Radio, Island Princess, and Cate P!
