Well..... since  we  all survived  2011  and  no one  got  raptured, Helen  and  I  decided  to  press our

luck... we're  going  to  Co-Host  this  year's  fest   with  Kathy & Ralph  Wicklund at  our  home in Jamestown, RI.

The  weekend  selected, by  popular  vote,  is  August  10, 11, & 12.

So  mark  your  calendars,  check  your  google  maps,  and  plan  on a  fun  weekend...  our  13th  fest.. ever  since 

Lisa  &  Pete  Draganic  started  the  tradition back  in  2000.

 

We'll be  working  on accomodations ,  menu  and  events.....  and  trying  to arrive  at  a cost.

Kids  welcome..  dogs,  not so much. There'll be  lot's  of  kids  between  nephews  and  grandkids......

 

Our  thanks  to Maureen  and Dan  at  Taunton Press......................

More  later.............

We're signing up.  Joyce and I will be there.

However, we cannot bring horseshoes or stakes this time, as we are forced to fly as joyce cannot get off in time enough to drive-that damn other girl puts her name on the damn vaca. calendar as soon as it's put up.  Now, this opens it wide for any and all potential victims to take on this formidable horseshoe duo.  Not our stakes, not our shoes. 

So, if you've got a bigger mouth than I or a wife prettier than mine-please join in.

 

 

Thank you to you two and of course the other two for hosting this year!   We had a super good time at the last one and are expecting to better that this year.

 

May god have mercy on your souls.

Shoes (post #205674, reply #2 of 15)

Aren't horse shoes allowed as carry-on items? You just put them on the plastic trays going through TSA scan. Just watch the other people and do what they do.

Well, I guess so.......... (post #205674, reply #3 of 15)

Go see a shrink... (post #205674, reply #5 of 15)

by Mongo in reply to calvin [original] on Sun, 02/05/2012 - 11:03

Tell him or her, in your best psycho-babble, how attached you are to your horseshoe set, and how the presence of your set of horseshoes calms and comforts you. Your shrink will then write you a letter that you can present to the TSA, allowing you to take your horsehoe set on board the airplane with you.

It's how I fly carry-on with my machete collection.

Or maybe Joyce can wear the horseshoes as earings and you can duct tape the stakes to your back and claim they are a scoleosis brace.

Not dreaming about it. I'm having nightmares about it.

Where's (which one) is that hotel quite a few stayed in last time? 

We got lucky and will be sharing space with Mike and Susan, somewhere not far from you..............I think-I've got to take a look at the map.

Next question-club rental at the course?

third-got shoes and stakes?

fourth-More than happy to volunteer for grilling-I don't think I burnt anything the last time (except on request).
