Watch the Spring Thing Facebook page: Ticketing & registration information to come.
 
This is a new location, but all your favorite things will be there:
Music, friends, fun & food, cozy cabins & campfires! Tents & RVs welcome. We plan to have a Daytripper ticket as well.
 
Six Sugzdinis and Claire Noyes are the co-chairs for Spring Thing; Anne Stevenson Smith, Administrator.
 
Our Spring Thing and Fall Fling weekends have always depended on participants sharing the effort to create these amazing events by taking on at least one task or shift (or more if you want!).
 
Thank you to those who filled out the Interest Survey and for your offers of assistance.
 
We are currently assembling a list of what needs to be done and when. We will be contacting everyone soon who has mentioned an area of interest.
