I wanted to take a poll from people and also at the same time see if the weekend of October 6th and 7th would be a good weekend to host an event. Tink and I are planning an event right now and fine tuning some details on it and want to see if that is a good weekend for everyone?

We are not saying anything about the event yet. We are tossing around two different ideas right now. Once we decide we will let everyone know. We are having a hard time trying to find a location for the event. We have our house as a last resort, but would like to host it someplace else. Brdad had another location for us also but with everything we have planned the Bangor area may be to hard to get everything set up before the event. We would like to find a location someplace between our house and Waterville if possible,

Here is what we are looking for if anyone knows of someplace with these items then please let me know. We would like to have a place all to ourselves.
Places for group tenting.
Gazebo or an enclosed facility in case of rain.
A field so we can set up some kids games and events.
Woods with some type of trails.
A place for a camp fire at night.

We promise that it will be as good as our Summer Event and maybe even better.

as long as she leave's the whipped cream at home!! (my hat still smells funny...)

I think later in the month would work out better for us (but we'd still do our best to make it if ya had it in the first weeks)

Too bad I'm down here in SC, the Elk's facility that we had our first organizational meeting would be a great place for it. A great outdoor building with facilities and there is a fire pit and we have used the field for camping as well.

I am away the first two weekends in Oct. The weekend of the 20th would be the first one I'd be able to make. I definitely would make it too. If that doesn't work then too bad for me.:(

Columbus weekend would be great but any one works for us at this point. Didn't some guy post a while back that he was planning a camping event that weekend?

I was thinking of one of the first two weekends in October because this is going to be an overnight event and I do not want to do it to late in October seeing that it might get to cold for the young ones if any attend.

We did have 5 or 6 kids at the Winter Camping event last march and they had a blast. Just gotta dress for the weather. Make it for when it works for you. Some will come and some won't.

The Elks Lodge in Augusta?

Also, lots of schools will rent out the space for everything but camping/fire (but you can use grills).

Uh...Silly... that IS Columbus Day weekend (Columbus Day being the 8th)

That weekend would work for me Rick since I have Columbus Day off and could have a long weekend for traveling to Maine.
But as others have said already, Do what works for you and Tink.
Obviously no matter what weekend you choose, not everyone will be able to make it...:(

True story . . . a number of years ago . . . and I'm talking about 20 or so years ago there was some group that wanted to have a huge outdoors concert of some sort on my family's property. In the end my family opted to not do so . . . but to this day I'm a bit curious as to who would have been playing and if it was some group that I've heard of or if it was just a bunch of local yahoos.
