RiverRat - the Pavillion is in Gilford at Lake Shore Park, and is being offered up to us as an alternative to the Beach at the Weirs, in the event of foul weather.
This is ForumFest III. The first and second were both at Cate Park in Wolfeboro, so this is the first time it'll be held in the Weirs.
Lots of folks are already bringing food to the Fest, so I'm not sure we want to bring too much more, or a lot will end up going to waste. A member has also signed up to bring paper plates and napkins and such, so we probably won't need those either. So, I would suggest bringing just yourself and your party - come and enjoy yourself immensely!!!
EDIT: I just re-read your post and realized that you meant that this is YOUR first Fest. Please excuse my statement above regarding the history of FF's.
