My wife and I will be there sometime Friday morning, and staying on the grounds. Bringing lots of stuff to sell. I'll make sure I stop by your booth and say hi. 73/Mark/W1MTW.

Scott and Mark had some cheesy excuses the last few of these but I'm pretty sure they promised they were coming this time?

I'm working both days, unfortunately. Maybe next spring.

Unacceptable! You said some of the same rubbish last time.... Take the days off. NEAR-Fest is not optional.

Don't make me come down there and drag you two...

There's an outside chance I could go Friday, but very remote. Saturday is not an option at all. Friday would depend on how some things fall into place at work. Normally I could get the day off Friday but there is a scheduled occurrence that requires me being there. If that gets delayed, maybe I'll go if that was a "hitch a ride" offer and you guys are coming back Friday night.

I pray for this everyday.... Good thing I'm not religious Any updates?

Bill,
Sounds interesting. I'll have to stop by your table. My curiosity got piqued when I saw Falmouth, Me, since I'm in next door in Windham.

Scott and update on whether you will be joining us and if so which day?

Post by **Scott** » 09 Oct 2014 13:52

Sadly, it'll be spring of 2015. Unable to escape work this time. My wife can't take vacation after May 1 due to the nature of her job so I should have no excuses regarding attending then.

Post by **Mark SNE Moderator** » 09 Oct 2014 15:06

Leaving for CT Saturday to visit my son at college, work on Friday. Maybe in the spring?
