So we are going to Laconia during the "Summer"!!!! Warm weather, little rain heck I might even go for a swim in the lake. I don't like why they postponed it, but it could turn into a great thing with far better weather. Hope we can all make it this year.

What is Postposed? From a guy that cannot survive without spellcheck!

True enough ... Usually a wet, cool and soggy time ... An excellent event to check the performance of your wet weather gear if you use it

Well, we haven't been to Laconia in several years. My wife and I made reservations for the week. Figure by late August things might settle down. We can hope!
