The Official ForumFest IV Thread
The Committee has decided on
Saturday September 8, 2007, 2-4 pm at Cate Park in Wolfeboro, NH for ForumFest IV. If someone comes up with an indoor place...even at the last minute.. we will consider changing the location. We will be conducting a raffle as usual. Quilt Lady has chosen the charity (since she donates the most valuable raffle item, it is only fitting that she pick the cause this year.) If you want to donate an item, we will be collecting the list later in the season. Additionally we would like to offer tickets for sale to those who cannot make the event... details later... or if you want to volunteer to be take care of this part of the raffle please volunteer as I am the wrong person to do it as many will attest. We also plan on a PepperFest this year... to celebrate the season's opening of Waldo Peppers... details in another thread when we know the opening date. Any other Fests that people want to plan....Go for it!!!!! ;) IG and the ForumFest Committee!!! |
Awesome! Now I will be able to plan ahead so I can maybe make it this year.
|
Formfest IV
It is great of you to take the bull by the horns as the saying goes. :)
|
FABULOUS! I'll be there with bells on! :D |
and the winner is . . .
This years FF4 quilt is a bit of a departure for me. It is an "art quilt" suitable for hanging on a wall and is approximately 42 inches square. It contains images from around the lake taken from some of the postcards posted on this website. I will bring it with me to "PepperFest" for a preview . . . even if it isn't completed. Once it is done, DRH will take a picture of it and post it for all to see.
Unless we have a major disaster this year, I would like to chose the New Hampshire Humane Society in Laconia to receive the proceeds from the quilt raffle. I am a big animal lover and would like to support these good people in their efforts to help homeless animals. My idea of heaven would be to have a cat in every window . . . and live in a glass house.:) Having a date selected this far ahead, we should have an excellent turnout this year. Make your plans now!!! |
What if it rains. Is there a backup location?
|
We're working on several backups
Quote:
Other possibile sites are being "talked to". stay tuned.. :) The great thing is the date is set far enough in advance to let folks save the date, and plan all those raffle prizes they will donate! :) :) Quilt Lady The charity you picked is purr-fect.... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: SteveA |
Thumbs Up For Quilt Lady!
Quilt Lady, I agree with SteveA, your NH Humane Society charity choice is doggone purr-fect!
Obviously kitties and doggies are near and dear to your heart. (And other animals too, of course. ;) ) We cannot wait to see this one of a kind lake memorabilia!!! It is going to be mighty special. Just like you! (I hope I win, I hope I win, I hope I win!!!) |
Three cheers for Quilt Lady
Quilt Lady - Excellent choice for donation this year, NHHS. If you haven't already contacted them about this, the person to speak with is Marylee Gorham. She will be soooooo thrilled. I know I am and I know all the babies at the shelter will be too. Thank you so much for choosing NHHS.
|
Can't wait!!!!
So glad to see a date planned for the forum. This will be my first attendance and I am so looking forward to meeting as many of you as possible.
I LOVE Quilt Lady's suggestion of the Humane Society for the donation. I would like to make another suggestion. How about the Loon Conservation Center? Sonj |
How is the backup coming???
Quote:
For the rest of you... it is time to offer up items for the raffle. We have already seen the incredible quilt that Quilt Lady is donating... what else have we got??? IG |
Just might make it....
Hey Folks!
My wife and I just celebrated our 1yr anniversary and bought a new house. We close next week and I'm ITCHING to get back to the lake. I might try to make this work. Here's hoping the schedule works out, if not, I'll just have to send CSUhockeyMom in my place again! |
excuse my ignorance...
But may I ask...What is ForumFest????
|
ForumFest
Quote:
Here's a link to lots of pictures that have been taken at the three previous ForumFests: ForumFest Photos |
LSP will not be available
Quote:
Might be a good idea to get some other "indoor" sites suggested and checked out. Also... let's start the "Raffle Prize" posting... (I'm still working on my donation ;) ) |
Forum Fest IV
Steve:
What if the date was changed to a Sunday. Would the Pavilion at LSP be available? Why fight success? Anything less than the LSP Pavilion, would be a downer, IMHO. Bill Clarke |
Haven't checked
Quote:
I haven't looked into the Sunday date... seems like most folks prefer the Saturday date,, LSP is out for that day. These folks have a good sense of what will work. PS... I think the event will be great no matter where it is held.. but an open park may make any wireless "broadcast" difficult. (I'll bet LG can make something work!) :) :) |
24 days and counting . . .
It's time to bump this thread back to the top again. If you want to see some REAL celebrities, you have to come to the next ForumFest. You will be able to meet such famous people as Island Girl (of photo fame), history maven - McDude, our social director - Rattlesnake Gal, the infamous Pepper and many others. Who knows, there could even be a special guest star!:eek: Be there or be square!:D
And while we are on the topic . . . it looks like only SteveA and I are bringing things for the raffle. We need stuff! Island Girl will be making a list. If there isn't any interest in a raffle this year, I'm sure I can easily sell the quilt to raise money for the New Hampshire Humane Society. Anyone interested in donating things for the raffle? We're waiting to hear from you. We will see some of you at ForumFest IV! And we'll talk about those who don't show up!:laugh: |
Sounds like you may need the Secret Service to return to town for the event.
|
Ok Ok
OK OK I will supply some framed pictures (like last year) At this point I don't know what pics I will choose but will post when I decide.
If anyone has any preference of my photos on photo post please speak up Looking forward to seeing all the forum folk Sunset Bob |
... and we are off and running....
Keep those donations coming... here is the link to what has been offered
http://www.rattlesnakecam.com/ffiv/ffivraffle.pdf Let's make this a banner year. We will also need some tables... and food.. but then some of you know that already and have arrived with all sorts of great stuff. For those who have never been to a Forum Fest... you will not be disappointed... Island Girl |
Quote:
I may have a conflict though. If contingency plans are needed because I can't attend, we'll call for a volunteer to take over operating the camera. First, step one: get it working. :rolleye1: |
I have the internet connection
I have EVDO Rev a on my laptop... will that do.. I am getting great speed. I have not tried it in Wolfeboro though... often Verizon will not connect from there.
Any WIFI there??? IG |
Options
Wolfeboro is a bit far of a trip for me, but next time I'm there I'll look for wifi in the park. The camera works with ethernet or modem options, but I no longer have an ISP to dial-in to. The cell phone approach might work if there is a signal and somewhere to call. The camera uploads about 540 kilobits for each frame. If we're limited to a speed of 14Kb, we can still get one frame every 30 seconds. That's OK - up to one frame per minute is usually acceptable.
|
Our Contribution
RG and I are having a set of coasters made with some of our favorite lake scenes.
|
Electricity
I just did an upload test and got over 600K.. guess that should be enough for you. I have a router that the camera could attach to...
Is there sometime before then that we can test this? Where are you Lakegeezer? IG |
Has any spot been selected for the fest? If so, can you tell me where it will be? :)

I've been at a loss to come up with interesting stuff for the raffle but I did pick this up today...size large.... Come on folks...it's for the nh humane society! ...and by the way, why don't folks chime in about whether they are showing up or not?? http://i.pbase.com/o6/55/599955/1/84...y.IMG_8623.JPG |
Funny!
RG squared is funny IG! :laugh:

I will attend Forum Fest
Quote:
I will be there!!!!!:D |
I'll Be there
I'll be there I hope.
|
As usual
I'm not going to be able to make as my company outing is on this date. I would love to come but the grandkids will be upset if they don't make their annual pilgrimmage to Canobie Lake.
If there is a rain date, then I might be able to make it. |
Joisey is coming!
I'll be there, and i will have a book about fishing on the lake for the raffle.
|
Hope To See Many of You There!
You should be seeing Rattlesnake Guy and I. We're looking forward to seeing familiar faces and meeting more forum friends.
Grant, will we finally meet you? After all, you are one of the instigators in the initial ForumFest. ;) |
We'll Be There!
Quilt Lady and I wouldn't miss it!
|
OK... here is my raffle prize
See this post...
http://www.winnipesaukee.com/forums/...+winnipesaukee see Post 20... My donation to the raffle is an orginal 1936 edition of " Three Centuries on Winnipesaukee" that I won on Ebay...very rare. It is in near perfect shape... As many of you have noticed.. Dianne and I are very big supporters of the NH Humane Society. So while I hate to part with it.. the cause is worth it. SteveA |
Third year in a row
:(
Ok, one of these years perhaps ForumFest will be held on a day that doesn't conflict with the BC football schedule. I know that "The Eagle" has sworn them off. But I can't, and I work at the games. So, once again, I'll be there in spirit but not body. I hope it goes well! |
FINALLY...I Might make it!
Hi Guys & Gals,
After ALL these years, This IS the year! It looks like I WILL make the Forum Fest! Since I gave up my BC Season tickets, after 27 years, (Rather than pay BC the [Extortion] REQUIRED $1000 per ticket "Donation" to the Flynn Fund) I won't be going to ANY BC football games, and upon checking my Date book, September 8th is BLANK! This will be the first time, I will actually get to meet all the folks that came to support the "Flotilla of Flags," in 2002, and all the Guys and Gals, with whom I've been talking all these years. You'll have to look to find me, though, I will NOT be wearing the Eagle Costume! I'm EXCITED about finally getting to meet some of you! I hope this will be the biggest gathering to date! "The Eagle" |
Possibly.....
I too hope to make it this year.....would like to see some old friends once again and meet some of the new faces out there! :)
|
To "The Eagle"...
Off topice, but to The Eagle..Amen on giving up the the TIX. Funny what happens when "they are lucky to have you" turns into "you are lucky to have them". What they are doing down there is shameful. Gave ours up also...after years of buying the seats and "donating" an arm and a leg to park on Shea Field. Had enough....
|
The raffle....
Mrs. HC and I have an autographed hardbound of Harold Lyons book "Angling in the Smile of the Great Spirit" and some other goodies.....with all the press that is devoted to a criminal pro football player....we need to raise lotsa money to help protect our true pet friends and all animals.....
Looking forward to getting together with all the wonderful Festers and buying lotsa tickets for the raffle. :) |
Mrs. N and I are planning to be there. I'll make a cake and try to bring something for the raffle.

Message from NHHS
3 Attachment(s)
I wanted to pass along the message I received from Marylee at NHHS with some photos of the Pet's of the week. I also want everyone out there to know they are doing an absolutely wonderful thing by supporting the NHHS with this years Forum Fest and we have our wonderful friend Quilt Lady to thank. I'm thinking I can make it this year and I will see what we can contribute to the raffle as well.
What would you folks think about the shelter bringing some of their adoptable pets to the forum? This is something the shelter commonly does for events they participate in. Thought I'd throw this out there and see if anyone is looking to add a new and wonderful fur baby to their family. I'll wait for a response before talking with the shelter about this. Lisa Thanks for letting me know. I tried to email Quilt Lady but the site won't let me, I am not logged on as a member. Could you forward my comment As the PR and Development Director of NHHS, having just been advised by one of your members we are to be the chosen charity for your event. I wanted to thank eveyone for agreeing with the choice. As the only animal welfare organization operating in Belknap County but one that is highly sought after, in terms of help with animals how are no longer wanted, abused, abondoned etc.. we so appreciate community support. I attach our two most current candidates who arrived at the door last week. Perhaps you could cross post. Of course, all the news fit to publish is indeed on our website. www.nhhumane.org I can be reached at 524-8236x309 thanks so very much. Marylee |
Going to try to make it
Well Hopefully all though this has not been an active year on the Forum for me I might just make it to Forum fest. It appears that the kaos that has been my life this year might just clear up enough to stop buy and say hi.... and finally put some names with Faces.....
|
How/where do you buy raffle tickets if you can not attend?
Thanks! Smitty1 |
Smitty1
Last year there was a "presale" for tickets that was set up by Pepper.
I sure the committee that is doing the event this year will announce a way for folks that can't attend to purchase tickets. |
Less than 2 weeks to go!
Last years "pre-buy" of raffle tickets was handled by Pepper. She used Waldo Pepper's Post Office box as the mailing address. I believe no one has offered a P.O. box for this years raffle and I, for one, am not willing to post my home address online for the world to see. Call me crazy but there are far too many weirdos out there (you know who you are).
Any other suggestions? |
Other items needed for Forum Fest
We need some tables for the food and for the raffle items. If you are bringing one or more please reply here.
We need food... if you are bringing any please let us know what you are bringing. We need someone to accept by mail raffle money for those who cannot attend. Anyone else think of what else we need??? IG |
Animals at ForumFest

Just my opinion IG |
Quote:
Ouch... :D |
I Agree
Quote:
Outlaw - any chance Marylee might like to stop by and say hello? |
I have a PO Box at Weirs Beach that we can use for this but first we should decide how to do it.
Should we post a list of items so people could send their choice with their donation? Shouldn't the quilt be $5 a ticket and the smaller items less? Once these details are worked out we can start a new thread for the raffle and publish the PO Box address. By the way, I'll donate 2 Destination Winnipesaukee DVDs and 2 Bizer charts. |
Quote:
Have fun! g |
I will be there and I will have an appropriately themed shirt and fleece throw for the raffle.
Food - I was planning to bring something sweet - cookies, brownies... but if something else is needed let me know. What about paper products? soft drinks/water? |
Bravo Don
Quote:
Yes... we need a place for folks to mail a check, made out to the New Hampshire Humane Society. They should specify the prize they want the tickets entered on. (example would be.. 1/2 on the quilt, 1/2 on the Sunset Bob pictures) IMHO the tickets should stay $1 each.. those that want to "load up" on a particular prize can control the amount that way. It would also make the "ticket selling" proccess easier with a single priced ticket. :) |
Looking for suggestion on what to bring
Never having made it to a forum fest before I am at a loss as to what I could do to help out......And also being some what iffy on whether I will make it or not I don't want to volunteer to bring something important..... but for those of us that will be making are decission to come on a somewhat short notice what types of items have been in short supply at previous Forum Fests.....
Thanks |

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 .... |
I'll miss this year's FFIV
1 Attachment(s)
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. Carguy |
Where's Waldo (and Pepper)?
Quote:
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. |
Three days to go!!!!
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!!! |
Must have been having a moment....
Quilt Lady...Must have skipped the part about helping with the raffle, I will be happy to assist you.
;) |
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. |
No need to sign up
... 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!!!

In case of bad weather

EDIT : As I was just informed, it's Sat this year. Sat looks good right now. |
Name Tags Needed
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???? |
Name Tags
I'll get them.

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. |

Looking good! Thank you... |
Once again
This seems to be a yearly event. Forum Fest and I am working. I hope you all have a fun but safe time!:cheers:
1 more trip planned to the lake this year but too late for the party:( |
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. Hockeypuck |
I can see I can see!
[QUOTE=Lakegeezer]Don the Webmaster put a notice on the Winnipesaukee.com home page advertising the fest.
Nice looking leaves or are you all in CAMO? |
It is 2:15 PM and no image on the cam yet. Is everything ok?
|
Murphy's Law
Sorry folks for the lack of pictures from the ForumFest. The wireless connection I had staged with last week was missing. When I spoke with the provider, they told me it had failed yesterday and the DSL modem was gone for repair. UGH! I found another wireless network, but it required a browser login to work. I created an account and had it working off my laptop, but couldn't get the camera to log-in, or connect through my PC. It was a nice ForumFest, and I'm sure there will be lots of pictures posted.
|
The aftermath ....
Just got back from FFIV and wanted to extend kudos to those who worked to make it happen again this year. Cheers to those who donated their gifts and thanks to those who bid on them. Alas the live link .... wasn't, so as the old saying goes, "You had to be there". We were blue that Misty couldn't make it and that Grant, once again, was unable to attend (who started this stuff anyway ?). Pepper and her Chilies were also MIA. Methinks we should all go to Lowes and stage a protest ! :D
I'd like to thank the RGs for the coasters which we'll put to use tonight. I like to thank Webmaster D for the DVD and chart and Sunset Bob for the beautiful photos. My guests also extend their thanks to SB and ghfromaltonbay for their pictures. Mostly I should probably thank "Mee" for her absence since that seems to have brought me good luck ! :devil: :eek: Lastly I think our beneficiaries have something to announce. They say, as best as I can type it; "Woof woof, meow, meow, woof, meow, WOOF !" |
M&M,
If RG could make it up all the stairs she would thank you for the amazing nippy canoe. T shirt from McDude will be a great conversation starter, (Like RG needs one). The wonderful Lake W throw will keep us warm as we wait for Ice out. Oh, here comes RG and wants to say something. "Hic, thhhannnkssss fur da wundrpul nipppppps." :liplick: Thanks all RG2 Anybody have the phone number for Betty Ford? |
and the winner is . . .
DRH and I are hard at work making a list of raffle winners. We will post the complete list later tonight.
ROSE - please get in touch with me because you won something and I want to make arrangements to get it to you. |
Raffle Winners List

New friends, old friends...pleasant memories!
First, thank you rrr for the chance to win that beautiful shirt you donated...trouble is my wife confiscated it from me as soon as I got back to camp!
Got to see my ol' buddy 'Mac again, it's always a joy to chew the fat with him! And two folks I've waited a number of years to meet and shake hands, Don & DRH, are just as lively a couple of memorable characters as they portray themselves here on the Web!!! I also was rewarded with a lengthy and intelligent discussion of the issues with Bear Islander...worth the trip in itself. And it was also fantastic to see the Skipper once again, looking forward to your pictures. And to everyone else that mingled and shared a moment or two of small talk, you all reminded me of why I am so addicted to this site and the memorable cast of caring people that daily fill these pages. And yes, I was truly disappointed that Islander didn't stop by...it would have been fun to put a face and share conversation with such a passionate debater. Finally Don, thank you once again for being the one that in the end makes this all possible. It was a super way to spend an afternoon in what is truly one of the most beautiful spots in God's country! :) |
Nice to see everyone.
I made it despite the rain that foiled my boating plan. I jumped in the truck and took the southern route. Nice to meet Skip and see my friend RG. Nice to meet many others also. Finally got to meet Don, and see who the hardworking soul is that keeps this going. Also nice to chat with Bizer. Wish more could have made it. Didn't see APS, although Skip and I kept looking over the grassy knoll!!! :laugh:

ForumFest's Donation to NH Humane Society
The attendees at ForumFest IV all had a great time, and we succeeded in raising $586 for the NH Humane Society. Marylee Gorham, NH Humane Society's Fundraising, Membership and Volunteer Director, attended and graciously accepted our donation.
Here's a photo of Quilt Lady presenting our donation to Marylee. http://www.winnipesaukee.com/photopo...m/Donation.jpg |

Great Time - Nice People !
FF IV was lots of fun.. and it's wonderful to put some "faces' with the folks we chat with all year.
Nice job IG! :cheers: I'm sure all of the "furry ones" at LRHS appreciate all of the funds raised from the raffle. Hermit Cover.. I checked all of the records at Ebay.. it appears that you have set a new record for winning a bid after the deadline. :) :) SunSet Bob.. The loons have been added to our Sunset Bob collection! |
Thank yous
Where to start?
Thank you to Don for as he put it - giving us all the paper to write on! Thank you to IG, QL and DRH the driving forces behind getting us all together - for all their hard work. Thank you to Sunset Bob for the TWO beautiful pictures I won. Thank you to Al for the CD's. Thank you to Mr. & Mrs. Hermit Cover for the autographed copy of "Memories of New Hampshire Lakes and Mountains" and the Winni stickers! It was great to see everyone and I look forward to next time! |
Verklempt
Mr. Rose and I had a great time at ForumFest. Sorry we couldn't stay longer, especially since we weren't there when the raffle was held. But I got so verklempt just reading that I had won the quilt, it's probably a good thing I wasn't there to flood the place with tears of joy.
I can't thank Quilt Lady enough for creating, with DRH's help, such a beautiful piece of art. And thanks also to all of you who helped organize ForumFest...we hope to return next year if we can. What a wonderful and gracious group of people you all are. |
