Center Harbor
Food Pantry
Date is not so good... Prime August weekend for guests.

I agree before Bike week is not good. I prefer the cooler weather of early September...

The place, the date and the Food Pantry as the charity all work for me!

Greene's Basin Girl · 05-17-2011, 12:56 AM

Many of my lake forum fest friends are not always up at the lake in September. Also August is warmer. I vote for August even though I live at the lake year round.

trfour · 05-17-2011, 02:07 AM

I am all 'four setting a date 'four every year! Gives us all a point of shoot to plan on! ( PHOTOPOST )... As most can see enlightens us all year and around.
September - May not be a good time for some, however I would agree with IG ( in a collective point of view for an ideal time and place)...

Now, and although I get heated up all summer and look forward to snowmobiling up into the surrounding and many Beautiful Mountains around Lake Winnipesaukee, ( and at the same time putting the boat and docks away ), to allow to and in preparation for, the planing becomes imminent.

However, your choice.

Thanks for the feedback, all. The only trouble with early September (after Labor Day) is the same with June...anyone with kids will be left out because of school. Hermit, my friend...is this rain EVER going to stop?? After hearing from more of you, and speaking with RG (Celia), Water Camper (Sue) and Don, a final decision will be made. Let's Fest!!

Just Sold · 05-17-2011, 09:09 AM

Aug. 14 sounds OK but I think a Sat is better. Like Aug 13th!!

I believe that you will get more people on a Sat. If it is on a Sunday you have to remember that weekend people start heading back home during the day depending on how far they have to travel home. A Sat afternoon should get the most people as they are not as rushed to be anywhere.

Also remember that those who rent typically check in or check out on a Sat. So they should be able to stop by even if it was for a short time.

We will be at the lake on the 13th for sure. It is the last day of our vacation rental!

Redwing · 05-17-2011, 12:33 PM

I agree that a Saturday is a better day and cast my vote for Saturday, August 13th in Center Harbor!

Rattlesnake Gal · 05-18-2011, 11:40 AM

Saturday, August 13th sounds great!

Later that night the M/S Mount Washington is having one of their Summer Lobsterfests.

Maybe we could continue the party into the evening?

A New England summer is not complete without a lobster dinner.
Enjoy it on a sunset cruise with dinner and dancing to live music.
For the guest who don't eat lobster, another entree is offered.

Redwing · 05-18-2011, 12:22 PM

...on the Mount sounds divine, immediately following the forum fest! Count me in!!

Greene's Basin Girl · 05-18-2011, 01:33 PM

The cruise sounds great, but I don't eat lobster.

I have no idea how far in advance we could know what the other entree is, but I could check it out. I haven't been on many nightly cruises, but I think they do a nice job on salads and sides.

Can anyone give us a better idea of the buffets on The Mount? Thanks!

DRH · 05-18-2011, 07:38 PM

Saturday August 13 sounds good to Quilt Lady and me.

Skip · 05-18-2011, 08:11 PM

Looks like a good date for me as well......

Sunset Bob · 05-18-2011, 10:42 PM

Of course your choice should be ForumFest!

We're the people in your life now.

SIKSUKR · 05-19-2011, 02:17 PM

Was there actually a time window discussed? As usual I'm working that weekend but don't have to be in Manchester till 4.

Meredith lady · 05-20-2011, 04:59 PM

Our beloved Webmaster Don cannot make August 13th. That is the only Saturday all summer he is not available. He willingly said to hold it without him, but that is not an option as far as i am concerned. So, back to the drawing board!!

How many of those high school friends have you been in touch with over the years, anyway?

I went back to my high school reunion and had a wonderful time even though I had not seen many of my 500 classmates in all the years! Fun to reconnect; sad to learn that so many had died (20%); and grateful to have had the chance to be alive and able to attend.

I loved my first Forum Fest last year and hope I can go again. I made some wonderful friends!!!! Still it was also fun to see the friends I knew from age 5 to 17 and would recommend it to all!! Go and enjoy and look forward to seeing you NEXT YEAR if you end up having to miss the FF to go!
