To all, I would like to thank everyone that helped with the 2016 NHSA Grass Drags & Water Crossings. As always this was a successful event for our club. We had a slow day Friday, as did all the food vendors and a cold – rainy day Sunday, also proving to be slow. However Saturday kicked it hard! We were swamped all day. At the end of the event with technically only 1 out of 3 days that were good we pulled it off. Our final numbers are not in to date but we will be well within recent years profit on the event. We will finalize all numbers by the November meeting! A specific thank you to the members that set up and helped with take down as well as all that stuck it out Sunday. It was cold, wet and slow.

We were all certain Saturday night that had we had a good day Sunday we would have sold out of “everything” we brought!

We had the Majowicz family & Paul Savignano for joining us this year for camping and managed to get in a fire or 2 throughout the weekend! We hope that more will join us in the future.

Below is the list of members and supporters that helped out in some way for the event and all should be recognized for their participation!

To all we are still very much in need of volunteers for our food booth at the NHSA Grass Drags.

We need 12 people all day for every day to run the booth efficiently. We also need people for set up Thursday night and teardown Sunday night. I need to send NHSA a list of people for wrist bands sometime within the next week.

We currently have 3 people committed to the entire event which includes my father and myself. We have a couple others already committed to a day or so throughout the event. Tasks include cooking on the grills and the smoker, people to take orders and money, prep people to assemble sandwiches, as well as some help to handle the money, coffee and other drinks. We also handle breakfast Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Set up is Thursday late afternoon – evening the 6th, Friday the 7^th for final set up and breakfast, as well as the event 2:00pm – 9:00pm. Saturday the 8^th morning for breakfast and event 9:00am – 6:00pm and Sunday also breakfast and the event 9:00am – 6:00pm. After 6:00 Sunday we need help taking down the booth and loading the trailer for transport up to Danforth Bay for the following weekend.

Please let us know if you can help, you can respond to our FB post or the event post as well as e-mail the club @ sosclub@sossc.com or you can contact Sean Pinard @ 603-785-4907

This is our biggest fundraiser for the season so we need all the members we can get. Thank you and we look forward to your help! Sean Pinard

To all, I have changed some plans a little and will be trying to load the trailer this coming weekend as I would like to get it filled and weight next week to get an idea on how much weight we haul in it. We will be building the racks as well and then loading. I will try to be at the club house around 8:00 – 8:30. I will be picking up the soda in the morning at Community Market. If you are available please come by and give us a hand. Thank you to anyone that can help out!

To all, it is that time of year again where the summer is winding down.  Our next event on our list is the NHSA Grass Drags. We will once again be having our food booth at the event featuring Turkey Legs. We have already started the prep work and will be doing more and more as the time gets closer. This event runs Columbus Day Weekend. We are in need of help throughout the next 6 weeks as well as the event itself. We load the trailer the week prior and set up Thursday afternoon / evening. Our booth is operating Friday morning some for breakfast then during the event. Friday 2-6 Sat 9-6 and Sunday 9-6 with take down after 6 Sunday. We need at least 12 people to run the booth efficiently. Last year we were very short handed and were not able to open the second side of the booth. We also had to lean on the volunteers we had more than usual. We like to cycle people throughout the day so no one gets stuck at the booth all day, making a need for more than 12 a day.

. If you can help us with this event at any time please let us know. You can respond this this post, the event page (where there is more info) or contact the club @ sosclub@sossc.com. You can also contact Sean Pinard (Grass Drags Chair) @ 603-785-4907 or via e-mail @ smpinard@roadrunner.com
