I noticed that at our May meeting, the Club discussed primarily "OVERNITE" runs. With me being a DAYTRIPPER fan, I put on my thinking cap and came up with these ideas:
1) some Thursday in July or August a run up river - Victorian Tea at the Connell House in Woodstock ($12 admission includes tea, finger sandwiches, scones, pastries, cakes), continuing on to Waterville to tour the "Covered Bridge Potato Chips" factory before we head back home
2) Minister's Island - I'm embarrassed to say - I'VE NEVER BEEN THERE - perhaps we could tour the Island in the morning, have a picnic lunch and then take a jaunt through Kingsbrae gardens ($9.50/person for groups of 20 or more)
3) Some Friday night in July we attend the Church Supper at the Keswick Community Center and then head out through Crabbe into Nackawic and back on the Mactaquac side of the river through Granite Hill and stop for an ice cream at Skinny's on the Ridge
4) A Marden's Run - yep! We could head out in the morning & hit Marden's in Houlton before having lunch at Grammie's (seafood restaurant with huge meals like Comeau's). After a leisurely drive along the river to Calais, another Marden's stop/shop.
Anyone interested in turning these ideas into ACTUAL RUNS? With weekends being limited in numbers and us having all sorts of family commitments, I was thinking that the Marden's and Minister's Island experiences could be weekday events.
Looking forward to your comments!

Hi Barb- All good ideas. I like the idea of a week day evening run and a during the week daytime run. Our schedules are unpredictable, but we'd participate whenever we could. Thanks for coming up with the list. Cheers, Larry H.
Russells would be interested in the 1st 3 for sure.... one of them has an allergy to Marden's ..... no name mentioned.
Hi Barb; all good ideas, except #4 :-)
St Martin's would be another great day trip, as long as we could find somewhere to eat!
