The Official ForumFest IV Thread

Quilt Lady · 08-29-2007, 09:48 AM

Oh great and wise Webmaster
Time is running short
SteveA compiled a list
And we're ready to report.

An address is what we need
For those from far away
To purchase raffle tickets
For ForumFest IV day.

We'll work out the fine details
As the time grows near
PM those whose help you need
And we'll be there, no fear.

Thank you, oh great and all powerful Webmaster!

Island Girl · 08-29-2007, 03:02 PM

Here is the current list of raffle items and food/misc party items. If you are sending in a check for the raffle... please indicate how many tickets for each item by number... each ticket is $1 and you can designate as may tickets as you want to any items... If you send $25... you can put a few towards the quilt... a few towards other items.. or even 1 for each item!

Once our Webmaster gives an address to send the checks... Go for it!!!!

Make the check out to the New Hampshire Humane Society.

http://www.rattlesnakecam.com/ffiv/ffivraffle.pdf

Keep those items coming... we could use paper plates, bowls, and forks, knives, spoons, napkins.. etc. name tags.

If you have never been to a ForumFest before... come along... you are all invited...

Sorry that I can't answer in rhyme but here's the address:

PO Box 5148
Weirs Beach, NH 03247

If you start a new thread with the list of items, the address and some instructions I'll stick it so it remains at the top.

Island Girl · 08-30-2007, 11:16 AM

Webmaster: I created a new raffle thread for you to make sticky, as you suggested.

To the rest of you: The new thread is for keeping track of raffle items and to give info on buying raffle tickets... as usual most of us will be buying our tickets at ForumFest IV.

Pepper...... where are you????????

QL and I ran into both Waldo and Pepper at Lowe's today. Pepper says she's been working incredible hours, but that she will be attending FFIV on 9/8!

She asked me to apologize to her forum friends for her recent absence here, and she says she's looking forward to seeing everyone at FFIV.

Quilt Lady · 09-05-2007, 12:49 PM

Since no one else has come forward, I will volunteer to sell the raffle tickets again this year. I will bring my own table and chair. While I may not be able to circulate, I will still be able to meet everyone.

If our great and wise Webmaster can get the mail orders to me as early as he can on Saturday, I will deal with those as well.

It looks like the weather is going to be fine.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at ForumFest IV!!!

IslandSib · 09-05-2007, 01:29 PM

Quilt Lady...Must have skipped the part about helping with the raffle, I will be happy to assist you.

Bear Islander · 09-05-2007, 01:36 PM

Hi

I always wanted to get to ForumFest but it didn't work out.

Just found out I can be there this year. Do I need to sign up or something?

I have an 8 ft folding table I can bring if needed.

Island Girl · 09-05-2007, 08:12 PM

... just show up... and the table will be welcome... This is really a loosely put together event... y'all just show up and some people bring stuff... and we have a good time!!!

I was just checking the forecast for Sunday and there's a 40% chance of rain. So what's the plan if it looks bad come Friday or Sat or ??

EDIT : As I was just informed, it's Sat this year. Sat looks good right now.

Island Girl · 09-06-2007, 12:14 PM

I don't know who usually brings them... but we need some stick on name tags and a marker or two... They will be needed early... about half hour before the event begins.

Volunteers????

rrr · 09-06-2007, 12:31 PM

I'll get them.

Lakegeezer · 09-06-2007, 12:57 PM

Don the Webmaster put a notice on the Winnipesaukee.com home page advertising the fest.

The 4th Annual ForumFest IV will be held on Saturday September 8, 2007 from 2-4 pm at Cate Park in Wolfeboro, NH. This year the proceeds from the raffles will benefit the New Hampshire Humane Society in Laconia. The ForumFests are informal gatherings of members and guests of our Forum. If you can't drop by watch all the action on the

Live ForumFest CAM.

The ForumFest CAM is up for stability testing and updating 6AM-8PM - it will be moved to the pavilion on Saturday before the event starts. The link is at http://www.winnipesaukee.com/~forumfest Let me know if you have any problems displaying it.

gtxrider · 09-08-2007, 07:10 AM

This seems to be a yearly event. Forum Fest and I am working. I hope you all have a fun but safe time!

1 more trip planned to the lake this year but too late for the party

hockeypuck · 09-08-2007, 08:22 AM

ForumFest IV attendees have a great day. Wish I could join you, but stuck here in CT for the weekend.
Just remember to obey the speed limits, pay your property taxes, eat at Pepper's, buy your meat at Wining Butcher, don't swim in cyanobacteria,give the right of way to those in the traffic circle, and for God's sake watch out for moose.

Stay safe and have a great day. See you on the web.

Oh man .... if we're going that way I wanna see Pepper and the Chiles do a song and dance routine. Then Misty Blue can recite a stirring poem of life on the wild blue seas. Rose can do an educational speech on weather forecasting. Islander and ITD can re-enact the Weekend Update debate skit from SNL (back when it was funny) and DRH and QL can ...

Crap there's that beeping again. Time for my meds. I've forgotten, should I take the red pill or the blue pill ....

carguy · 08-31-2007, 02:39 PM

My job now is driving a limosine for Mohegan Sun. I have to work that Saturday and Sunday, so I will miss this year's event. Too bad, for I had such a great time at last years event at LSP. I'll miss SteveA's chilli and his chowda, if he brings it.

You all have a great time.
