As far as Sturbridge (would be great for our CT passporters) and the Rt 9 area, both work great for me, they are only an hour away....

From the Fenway site:
"Tour hours during winter months are 9 a.m. – 3 p.m., Monday through Saturday.
Tour hours during summer months are 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. every hour on the hour, with the last tour leaving at 4 p.m. On game days, the last tour will depart 3 1/2 hours prior to game time. Stay tuned for the start date of summer hours."

Sturbridge sounds fun too! I really am game for anything....will just depend on the date that everyone chooses.

I'm in!! I like the sounds of Worcester or Sturbridge. Sturbridge is so easy off the pike, not bad from CT RI NH and VT either! Has anyone mentioned a date? It looked like the CT Meet was going between the 7th and 21st (June) for a while... How about June 7th? Or is that too close to the CT Meet?

Thanks for clarifying the Fenway tour dates...I just remembered having a hard time planning a tour for my Dfil last year, but maybe we were just trying to plan on game days!

I'd be interested in a MA meet as well, but prefer not to go into Boston as parking is a total nightmare! Once a week into the Jimmy Fund clinic with DD is enough Boston driving for me.

Me too. Only I live over the other border.

I would love a Mass meet - hopefully the date will work - I can help plan a place also if you do decide to go with the Worc./Sturbridge area as I live just outside of Worcester.

But I would go into Boston if you have it there ....

so glad I checked the boards today!

Barbara where do you live? I am in Dudley about 25 minutes south of Worcester.
Another spot that is fairly central is Auburn. There is a mass pike exit. Yong Shing Chinese restaurant is on a main road not far from the pike and is pretty tasty!

OK, the CT meet is scheduled for June 21.......how would June 7 or June 28 work for a MA meet in Sturbridge? I think any later we would loose interested PPer's to summer vacations. I would be willing to coordinate it all once we decide on a date.

The 28th is good and I can help too since I used to live in Southbridge and Webster, I know the area really well. I now live in Chicopee though. I would be bringing Kristen with me of course lol.

I can do the 7th but will be in Philly with DD for Nationals on the 28th. I don't mind helping out either way, even if it works best for people on the 28th.

Sturbridge also has a Cracker Barrell but not sure how a large group would do there.

One of the mom's at my daughter's dance studio works there. I will ask her tonight!

Either the 7th or the 28th work for me. Sturbridge or Auburn work equally well, too. I'm in West Springfield and really close to the Mass Pike entrance.

[tinker_me_happy]

Cracker Barrel can hold about 60 people in the back dining room, 80 in the middle and 66 in the front. There are three separate dining areas and this is one of the smaller ones. They don't do reservations but will make accommodations if you let them know ahead of time that you are coming. Also if you let them know ahead of time the # of people and that you all want to be seated together they will do their best to keep the room free for the group even though it is not an actual ressie.

I would be up for it if i can get the time off but i doubt it.
