I love this idea!!!

Pepper: You're right; rafting at the Witches could be a little tricky! Silly me!

This is starting to sound very interesting and exciting. Who of you would and can co-ordinate this. Lets put a team together to plan it.

Don, since you already have a contact with the Pier owners could you find out if we could reserve the deck area? It is a great photo location too!http://www.winnipesaukee.com/weirscam/

I cannot put as much time into as I would like due to business and a major project we are starting but I will assist where ever I can.

I have put a poll attached to this thread to pick a date for a Forum Fest III. I took a shot a 3 dates based on when we had our last 2 Forum Fests.

I'm still interested in the Mt. Wash. M/V idea, the only problem being that my husband works Sat. afternoons, so it would depend on what time embarkation is. If it's on dry land, then a Sat. would be fine.

I'd be happy to help coordinate, but I am not available until about Sept. 6th. I'd be willing to do anything I can do to help starting about then.

I don't know how to put a pole up or even if I am allowed to on this site, but perhaps that would be the thing to do to determine where people would like to have the event. Don't want to be pushy...just a suggestion.

I think the Mount Washington idea is great! Also the 23rd of September gives us out of town people a chance to book cheaper flights.

I do like cruising on the Mount...but I think we will get more participants if we hold this on the land somewhere... that way people who can only drop in for a short while can attend.

The raffle was a great hit last year... (hint hint)

Just my two cents

I concur Island Girl...kind of like a "drive-by" forum fest! People may just want to stop in. Others may have week-end guests and can only sneak away for a while. But it sounds like there is a lot of enthusiasm for cruising on the Mount as well. Aren't we talking about two different events...???? If folks want to go cruising on the Mount then GO FOR IT!

BTW JustSold: I didn't vote in the poll because all of the dates work for me.

Has anyone considered holding FFIII at the Alton Bay Community Center? (Old Railroad Station) It's right on the bay and near the docks. Rental for two hours shouldn't be too steep.....and just in case it is rainy? .....and it has bathrooms. Upthesaukee....would you know about rental costs?

....and how about holding the raffle to benefit the newly proposed Alton Bay Web Cam?

Hermit Cover · 07-29-2006, 07:54 PM

with all of the above!!!

Any date, any time, any place! And a big ol' raffle, too!

Winni · 07-29-2006, 10:15 PM

How about making the event a fundraiser for St. Baldrick's?

And I think this is a fabulous idea, Winni!!!!!!!!

I'm glad the FFIII is going to be on "this" side of the lake; I'd wanted to go to I and II but couldn't work it out. Weren't they on Sundays the last two years?

How about a Forum Fest Poker Run? The proceeds go into Pepper's jar. There are a number of destinations that could serve as endpoints. If we set it up right, we could do both water and land.

A thought.
