Castles, and lunch and Passporters Oh MY!

When: Saturday August 5th
Where: Gilette’s Castle State Park East Haddam CT
Time: 12:00 pm
Who: Any PassPorter who can make it!

The actual meet will be a Bring your own Picnic Lunch on the Picnic Grounds and I will supply the Water/Coke/Diet Coke/Sprite. They offer tours of the Castle it is $5 for Adults 18 and over. $3 for children 6-17 years old and Children 5 and under are free.

Since the picnic grounds are outside I would like to know if you would like me to set up a rain date for the Sunday or have a back up plan of say Lunch at a restaurant.

I look forward to seeing anyone who can make it!

You can find more information on Gillette's Castle at: Gillette's Castle

***updated 7/17***
OK if it is going to rain on Saturday then we will see what the weather is like for Sunday if its nice then we can just move it to Sunday if people are available. but if the weather is going to be Rain both days then we will be meeting at the castle and having lunch nearby at one of the places Kathy mentioned. We could then take the tour of the castle and have lunch afterwords.

It sounds good to me Amy! Can't wait. I vote for a backup restuarant, but could probably do a rain date on Sunday.

I agree - I vote for a backup plan - I love Gillette's Castle!

**POOH** · 06-25-2006, 04:17 PM

I like the idea of a back up restaurant in case of rain both days. Amy, how far from Bridgeport? I'll probably take the ferry from there since I'm only 10 minutes from the ferry on this side. I can't wait!

**magic mickey** · 06-25-2006, 09:26 PM

Depending on traffic, I would say 30 minutes.

**iamgrumpy** · 06-30-2006, 05:33 AM

I am trying to think of a restaurant to try any suggestions Lisa?

Anyone else interested in joining us for this Going to be Fabulous Meet??

Hi everyone! My name is Kris. I am from RI and would love to meet too. How far is it from RI? I've been hoping to attend a meet. This sounds like fun!

Its about 1 hour and 32 minutes from Providence RI.

The address for The Castle is
Gillette Castle State Park
67 River Rd, East Haddam, CT 06423, US

That way you can get directions from where your coming from!

krisocam · 07-02-2006, 10:05 AM

Thanks! I will map it out. I'm really looking forward to meeting other Passporters!

Hi all most of you probably don't know me, but I have been a Passporter for a long while, I just don't get the chance to be online much. i do see what is going on and I actually might have a free day and be able to join you. I'll keep checking back and stay updated.

**iamgrumpy** · 07-06-2006, 03:42 PM

Hope it works out Kristen we would love to have you!

Philly · 07-06-2006, 07:33 PM

I think I can make it

**iamgrumpy** · 07-08-2006, 05:57 AM

Does anyone have any suggestions for restaurants we could have as our back up? I'm at a loss as to where to try for...

Would Closer to Hartford or Closer to Mystic be easier for folks?
