Cabin Fever Festival

LakesRegionSpirit · 02-15-2011, 11:00 AM

On Friday night, Feb. 18 (A Full Moon) Better Together and The Belknap Mill are co-hosting a Cabin Fever Festival.

The festival features a walk-and-dine event with a sock hop featuring Annie and the Orphans.

The dine-around is a walking tour of downtown Laconia with stops at The Soda Shoppe, Hectors, Black Cat, Burrito Me, Village Bakery and Awakenings.

Tours begin and end at the Mill and Annie plays from 6 till 9.

Walking tours leave the mill at 5, 5:20, 5:40, 6, 6:30, 6:40 and 7. Ticket sales are limited to 300. Adults $10 and kids $5 for BOTH events.

Please come out and support Better Together and The Mill. You may contact me for tickets. Thanks, Kevin

Can they purchased "at the door" on Friday night?

...with the following caveats:
1. Ticket sales are limited to 300 total
2. There is a maximum tour group size of just over 40 people. Tours leave every 20 minutes, starting at 5 and ending at 7. This is done to prevent a huge onslaught of eaters for the food preparers.
3. SO, there is a chance you show up and, at worst, find out we are sold out or, most likely, maybe have to wait for the next time slot to leave.
4. Chances are probably best if you come for the first time slot at 5 based on current sales
5. band plays from 6 till 9, so if you come at 6 and have to wait you can take in a bit of the sock hop first, head out for the dine-around and then come back for more music.
6. We do ask that everyone pays when making reservations

Hope to see you there. If you wish to purchase tickets you can contact the Belknap Mill directly or via me.

From the Jimmy Buffett song "Boat Drinks"

"This mornin, I shot six holes in my freezer
I think I got cabin fever Somebody sound the alarm"

I went with three other friends and we had a perfectly delightful time! Tour was very informative, food was excellent, and the full moon could not have been better choreographed for the occasion. And in all the years I have been going to the lake, have not once heard Annie and the Orphans. I always assumed that "Annie" was a woman.....and was surprised to see that "she" was, indeed, a "he"...... they were wonderful, and we danced away the evening...nice that it was an early one, at that! So glad you posted on the forum, otherwise we likely would not have been aware of this event.
