Fall SOBB


Just throwing this out there..

WBB does it 2x a year, and it seems to be working?

Any thoughts on Adding a Fall event for SOBB, or do we already do it? Challenge out here in Pac NW is the rains, which could but a "damper" on things... Maybe do it in May/June?

Your right about the rain in the fall and it might be difficult to schedule an event. May thru June sounds like good times and I am sure Phill would open up buggy camp whenever we needed it. 2012 is the 10th year for SOBB and it would be a great time to start SOBB2. What dates in May or June does everyone want to use?

That's right around Memorial day for us. How appropriate to have it that week since we have the other on Labor Day. What is usually referred to as the beginning and end of summer.

May 21 - 23 2012 would be the Cdn long weekend.

Ten days in May sounds good. Tides look better for Memorial Day than Victoria Day.
