7 Two Footers Convention -- Maine

 

Things are shaping up nicely for the Two Foot Convention in New Hampshire and Maine.  As of now, we have about 40 people participating.  There is still time to get on board if you would like to come along.  Those that have attended a convention know they are a good time.  

A deposit ($50 per person) will be required by March 17, 2007 to hold your room and bus seat if riding.  The remainder of the balance will be due July 1, 2007.  The total cost for the trip has not been determined yet.  Please send deposit to:
