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?

I'm going to try and get together one for the whole forum this year but of course if you want to do one for Connecticut feel free.

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. 8-)

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.

I could go either way but would much rather go to NEPA. What the hell is there to see in CT?

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.
