Default Winter mini Forum Fest

I'm planning on coming up from NJ for that weekend. If a specific time is designated for meeting at Riverat's bob house maybe we can have a gathering of Forum members. Several years back we tried to plan meeting for lunch at Shibley's, but the weather didn't cooperate. Is there a breakfast planned that day at the Masonic Hall? We'll have to check with Uppie.

The Alton Mason's Breakfast Buffet is always on the third Sunday of the month, and Feb. 16th is indeed the 3rd Sunday. (When in doubt, check the calendar on this site. I have our breakfasts listed there.).

We serve from 7-11, all you can eat, and cost is only $10, including coffee and juice.

Hope to see you folks there.

Sounds like a great idea!
I am located right next to the gazebo/airport and within walking distance to shibley's, bathrooms and store. will have plenty of hot beverage, coffee, tea or cocoa, and a big pot of something cooking.
kick this around and see what everyone thinks.

Rotary hosting kids’ fishing derby on Feb. 16
ALTON — The Alton Centennial Rotary Club invites kids up to age 15 from throughout New Hampshire and neighboring New England states to Alton Bay for the sixth annual free kids’ fishing derby on Sunday, Feb. 16, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Registration takes place in Alton Bay at the parking lot bandstand. Participants need adult supervision and may be assisted by anyone with a fishing license. Fishing derby bibs will be given to the first 50 participants; trophies will be awarded for the largest fish caught in three different age categories, (0 to 7, 8-12 and 13-15). This event is one of many family oriented events offered during the Alton Winter Carnival that is organized by the Alton Business Association. Fewer children registered last year due to blizzard conditions but several trophies were awarded. Fish species caught included pickerel, rainbow trout, yellow perch and cusk. Participants must cut their line and release any black bass or salmon.
Ice safety is encouraged throughout this event. Keep away from any open water around docks with bubblers and old ice fishing holes that may still be unfrozen. The ice fishing area is limited to the area from Sandy Point south to the Alton town beach. Any plowed areas are set aside for aircraft or for the snow machine radar-run. Volunteers with ice-augers are always needed to assist the kids with drilling ice holes. Student volunteers from Prospect Mountain High School, earning community service hours, will be on hand to assist the Rotary Club with the registration. A limited amount of tip ups and shiners for bait will be available. Brian Mitchell at Amylyn’s Corner Market and Brian’s Bobber Shop in Alton Bay will donate bait and prizes for the kids’ fishing derby. Denise Terravecchia at the Ice Out Antique and Consignment Store has offered a place to warm up. Visit all of the unique Alton Bay stores during the Winter Carnival celebration. Please call Jim Fontaine at 875-0110 or David Countway at 875-3128 or 520-5211 if you would like to assist the Alton Rotary Club with this fun event.

We will be at the winter carnival. Entering the chowder competition. My wife is also decorating our bob house. Madigras theme so swing in for a "real" drink. We are also competing in the bed race. Looks like I'll be to busy to fish! Should be fun though...come by and say hi.

Great Pops, where are you located on the bay? I will not be decorating mine this year due to my back, I just hoping it holds out long enough for me to get there and enjoy the day.

I am just up past you. About 30 yds. Past the bandstand. Popup camper conversion w/ wood sides. Sign on shack says "surrounded by iceholes". How is the fishing been for you? We have been slow. Hoping things pick up after all this activity on the ice stops.

Yea same here pops, real slow but still enjoyable.
Just got back from a visit to the bay, drove on and off with my little rear wheel drive ranger.
Paul and crew are hard at work on the runway, it looks to be tough plowing but they're gaining on it. Roger Sample is doing a great job on plowing the winter carnival areas also, and looks to be a plowed road up to sandy point.
