Nothing for Bike Week?

Funny that they haven't booked anything for Bike Week, you would think that it could be a prime money maker for them with the right bands.

I know the Styxs/Foreigner concert is the first day of Bike Week but it's usually later in the week that the big crowds (or big for recent years) arrive.

I was really surprised to see they booked Paramour - I would have thought that band would be in a larger venue. Argie has seen Heart a couple of times already and says they do a good show.

For first news on Meadowbrook shows, link to their Facebook page - they're announcing new shows all the time lately...

Meadowbrook does have a big announcement for Bike Week, but I'll hold my tongue, as it has not yet been made public.

It's not music... (and I'm not 100% positive it's confirmed either)

Sheryl Crow just announced for Aug. 12. ZZ Top on October 2. Still no announcement for Bike Week.

UFC - Mixed Martial Arts

Finally Announced!

Combat Zone 33 will be held on June 19th. This is not part of the Eastern Propane Concert series, but Combat Zone has agreed to do a pre-sale on Thursday at 11:00.

That should bring in a different crowd than Sheryl Crow or the usual mix of C&W or vintage rock bands.

Should be real interesting to watch the crowd go in and out of there.

Maybe they should have a Melissa Etheridge/Indigo girls type concert and MMA double-header. Now that would make things REALLY interesting:laugh::laugh:

It's real interesting that InterLakes High School administrators arranged with Meadowbrook to hold graduation on Friday night June 15!
Many parents are frustrated that the graduates might be driving through Weirs Beach to get there and back to Meredith, Center Harbor and Sandwich, the towns of the district. Also issues with their guests, which include people not as familiar with the area and alternate route options!

I'm glad I am not a parent to a senior.

PS:Great collection of shows for 2012! I saw CSN there once, and may want to do it again, even though it's Bike Week's Wednesday.

New Plans underway

Quote:

GILFORD — The owners of Meadowbrook U.S. Cellular Pavilion are looking to grow their operation by expanding the existing covered seating area to accommodate and additional 2,336 patrons and add 182 parking spaces. The Planning Board will review the proposal at its Monday, Sept. 17 meeting that beings a 7 p.m. in Gilford Town Hall.
According to plans drawn by Steven Smith & Associates and submitted to the Gilford Planning Department on August 30, the performing arts centers also plans on reducing the amount of lawn seating available by 836.
If approved by the Planning Board, the total capacity for the U.S. Cellular Meadowbrook Pavilion will go from 6,000 to 7,500 and increase the number of parking spaces to 2,025.
"The expansion is necessary not only to accommodate the shows being booked at the facility but also to allow Meadowbrook Farm, LLC to compete with other similar facilities located within their market area," reads the proposal.
Drawings show the expanded under cover seating will extend straight back from the end of the pavilion now furthest from the stage. Specifically the expansion calls for 75 new Americans with Disabilities Act seats, 233 new "club" seats and 2,028 regular seats.
The new parking lot is proposed on what is described as the former Carlton Miller property that is now owned by Meadowbrook Farm, LLC.
The proposal Meadowbrook hopes to have the expansion ready for the beginning of the 2013 season which is typically in May.
Neither owner R. J. Harding or designer Steve Smith were available for comment on Friday.
