It would be better between Sandy and Little Bear.

Their website spells out pretty much exactly what everyone is asking. The event was for invasive species education. http://lakefest.wordpress.com/clean-drain-dry/

Where was this back on Feb when this thread was started?

Original post was an article from the Laconia Daily Sun. The reporter perhaps did not know that there was a website for the event (if one had been developed at the time of the interview). No mention in that article.

Website was not mentioned either by Lake Advocate in post #12 (I think), who seems to be affiliated with the organization.

As one who is involved with several charitable and voluntary organizations and events, the $15 or $20 participation fee does not bother me at all. I get involved because it is a charitable cause. If it ends up being a tax deduction, either partially or in total, that is just a bonus.

Seems like the lack of proper advertising and promotion doomed this project from the start.
