Fidonet Cooking Echo Picnic
By Janis Kracht, 1:261/38, janis@filegate.net


We're in the NEW HOUSE :)

The Fidonet Cooking Echo Picnic dates for 2012 are July 19, 20, 21, 22, 23.

Address: 2682 Slaterville Road,
         Slaterville Springs, NY 14881

Email me at janis@filegate.net for our phone number, or if you're intending to
attend :)

Our neighbors are wonderful, and the village is fantastic. I'm sure if you're
planning on checking out the picnic, you won't be disappointed.

We were able yesterday to check out the natural spring right down the road from
the house since some folks who were visiting us wanted to check that out.  We'd
all enjoyed the artesian well water in the house, and could understand why
Slaterville Springs became famous for it's natural spring waters.  We watched
as a number of cars stopped by the spring and gathered water to enjoy at home.

If you are somewhere even close to Ithaca, NY, on that weekend, and think you
might like to join us, you can just stop in for one day if you like, or get a
room at one of the inns nearby if you'd like to stick around for the entire
event :) We can put some people up here in our new house, but need to know in
advance if you'll be taking us up on that.

While the name of this event is a "Cooking Echo Picnic", it is so much more
than that :) We do typically go outside and party at times <grin>, but we also
just go with the flow at the moment, depending on what people would like to do.
 There are excursions to local restaurants (some of them quite famous
nationally, like the Moosewood Restaurant in Ithaca), and other sites of
interest to people.

Another big favorite will most likely be a visit to the Ithaca Farmers Market,
which has been called a "Festival" with over 130 vendors.  Plants, vegetables,
meals, farmers who sell grass-fed beef, pork and lamb, and more are typically
available. Craftsmen also bring their artistic wares, like artwork, jewelry,
etc.

At the house, we'll have stocked cupboards and most likely wine, beer and other
beverages..  you can bring anything you want to share with people, as well.
