Great Time at The Fest! Thank You All!

For just ten bucks it was a steal of a deal so thanks to the Mount for the double dicount. Noticed the Mount has installed about 200 linear feet of 40" high, oak wainscoating below the windows of the main 2'nd deck cabin which is a nice upgrade. Every McManson needs to have at least one room done up with oak wainscoating and the Mount is definately becoming a floatimg McMansion.

Hey, no matter how many times you have boated the Big Lake in your regular motorboat, you get to see the lake from a different angle from 30' up above the water on the Mount.

Am looking forward to next year's forum on the Mount and could even donate a three-item meal off the dollar menu...........wow!.

FLL, you are correct. (I cannot believe that I agree with you on something!

) Mount Washington Cruises gave us a steal of a deal! Our tickets normally would have cost $25 and we had to pay only $10. In addition to the deeply discounted tickets, they in turn donated Winnipesaukee.com's ticket money to our charity, The Salvation Army Food Pantry of Laconia. $750 is a very big deal! Many thanks to everyone at Mount Washington Cruises who helped to make our fest wonderful!

Seeing the big lake from such a different angle is always a special treat and for many of us it will be the last time on board with her distinctive diesel engines. Here is an idea - someone should record an audio tape for posterity.

Your future donation certainly fits in with your image!

I think we had a little mix up while setting up the raffle.

LoveBitesPastryShop had donated a box of assorted goodies that I think was supposed to be a raffle item, but they were opened and enjoyed by many. I guess it still worked out well, lots of folks got to sample some very delicious treats! Hopefully LoveBitesPastryShop gained a few new customers!

Glad you enjoyed the wainscoting on the second deck. I know a guy that put a lot of time and effort into it

Kudo's to the RG's, Meredith Lady, WBB and the Mount (and any others I've missed) for making this FF run so well. A lot of kewl items up for bid, mucho $$s raised and fun for all. And despite a vote of 44-2, nobody was pushed ... errr .... accidentally fell overboard. And the whole waterballoon off the fantail as we pased Mark I ... well that wasn't us. Now I won't point any fingers (Adeline singers) at who did the dirty deed (Adeline singers) but let's just say they were pretty vocal (Adeline singers) and leave it at that !

Glad everything went great on the Mount.Was not happy about not being there.The fact that FLL made an appearance and I did not meet him does not sit well with me.

Pineedles · 08-24-2009, 03:23 PM

My wife and I had a wonderful time seeing new friends and old. She said you were all so friendly, well she can't be perfect in her people perception skills she married me. I was very happy to finally meet FLL, a very nice person. And as the title say's I won the AJ gift certificate. Great fund raising event. I think we broke a record?

Just Sold · 08-24-2009, 03:35 PM
