... to organize this years event... come on... step up... you know you want to!!!

As Argie's Wife found out last year... you don't need to be appointed, or blessed by the group.. you just have to start doing it.

We have three people in favor of the Mount right now... in some circles, that is a trend!

IG, who want to be there now

Hope this rallys support what a great idea!
Count me in!

Just a suggestion...

Although *I* think the MW is fitting there are some drawbacks. I'll list a few I can think of off the top of my head:

Cost
Late comers can't join (unless they're really good swimmers) because once the MW leaves, that's it!
We probably can't bring our own food (not a huge problem but I recall eating some to-die-for chilli someone made last year!)
The fest times are limited to the time we're on the MW
And would they possibly have rules about us holding a raffle? I'd hope not but that's something to consider...

In short... It's a good idea but there might be a BETTER one that suits all nicely.

HOWEVER...

Without being a total buzz kill... a mini-fest there (aka gathering of friends) might really rock at that location.

Just my $0.02.

p.s.
I jumped in to help organize things last year because I didn't want to see the event be a no-go. It was great meeting everyone and the Loon Preservation Center was great!

I, too, think the Mount is a great idea. I didn't attend the Fest last year but would love to go this year.

I'd love to attend also no matter where it's held - however, how 'bout scheduling it in the summer so more people can attend.
