Well, as some of you may have guessed - we're invading Bar Harbor!
Many have expressed the desire to Motor, Shop & Relax in Bar Harbor on a Thurs-Sat in June.
Plans are still in the making, and I'll be updating this and the event details at www.padgettmarketing.com/barharbor as we go along...
Basically the schedule (rough - very rough!!!) is as follows:
Thurs PM - Group dinner at local restaurant to be named at a future date.
Fri AM - Spirited run through Acadia National Forrest and surrounding areas
Fri Lunch - at a restaurant to be named at a future date
Fri PM - your choice of more motoring or shopping in BH (lots of fun shops!)
Get together, fun hanging out picnic style - could be a beer fest - ya never know!
Dinner - either a group dinner or order in pizza or people do their own things - we're easy!
Sat am - Race to the top of Cadillac Mnt to watch the sun rise (or at least watch it get lighter if it's cloudy!)
Once the sun has come up - you're free to do whatever you wish. Many of us will be heading to New Hampshire and Loon Mnt to meet up with another event (you know which one I mean!!!). This will be a spirited drive - multiple groups - and no - you don't have to come with us (but why wouldn't you!!!)
The Wonderview can't wait to host us again in 2005. 
They are now accepting reservations for our group. Visit their website:
www.wonderviewinn.com to see room rates and make a reservation via phone or email. Room rates range from $64 to $160 depending on the building and view. We're booking under Spring rates, and did not pick a particular section so that you can pick the view and rate you like!
When you call -
mention you are with the Mini Group, and if you book
BEFORE March 1 and book for
at least 2 nights (i.e. Thurs & Fri) you will receive $10 off each night. If you only book for one night (i.e. Friday) you will not receive this discount. Once you've made your reservation, you will be asked to send them a deposit of about 1/2 your total registration cost. The address & phone are on their website.
If you're interested in joining the group, please let us know - send an email to
heather@padgettmarketing.com and I'll add you to the list. We're also looking for locals to help in the planning process - we appreciate any and all help you can provide!
Thanks!
Heather, Aaron, Brad & Crew
