[W1KNE]

[Great way to break up winter is by going to the Whitman ARC Winterfest.

Note New Venue

January 21, 2023 - 9am to 1pm.

38 Franklin St, East Bridgewater

Easy to get to, easy to park. Always a fun time. Great gathering of locals too.

Only $5 to enter, and there are raffle prizes! (Tables are $15.)

I'll be there.

Always a good time. I will be there as well perhaps we should schedule a lunch in the area? Not sure what would be the best talk in frequency in that area.

We had several folks (myself included) planning to meet at 8am at the Cowbell Cafe. Is that too far away now???

I guess it’s only 6 minutes away. Breakfast is still on!

I just checked on Google Maps. It's only 3 miles, 6 minutes away. I'd say it's NOT too far, and will still be a good place to eat for breakfast.

Coverage for both the 147.225 and 927.6875 repeaters will be even better at this location. This new venue is located basically right between the 2 of them!

BREAKING NEWS!

I updated the original post as well, John.

I was told that this was a possibility earlier today, but wanted to wait for confirmation. Glad to see that they got it sorted out.

Good seeing everyone today! Sorry I was too busy helping out at the flea for the breakfast or lunch. I think everything came together quite well considering the last minute venue change.
