I missed the one from last year unfortunately, but I was looking to see if anyone was going to get one started for this year. Cold weather is a great time to be social. How bout it?

It would be great if the Meet & Greet could be held at one of the stove factories, like Keystoker or Axeman-Anderson for example, or some other historically significant location.

would be cool to have a larger one. Pretty regional forum so I guess that would work better.

If you want to do this feel free, it's a pretty far drive to get to NEPA from Connecticut so I'm sure there will be some interest for a local event.

Several previous M&G events have included a tour of the Keystoker factory. I think the Mayor is planning on further north this time.

if people would want to do something in CT, I could try and setup a tour of a large coal burning facility. There are obviously no coal stove manufacturers up here, but maybe a tour of the Bridgeport coal fired power plant or some place with a huge boiler. Bridgeport is the last beast in the area and they may allow tours.

that is a much better idea. Food is involved.
