Quad State Herf 7 (Wounded Warrior Event) - Saturday, Aug 11th

After a few phone calls and a number of S/BOTL wanting to schedule their vacation, we have locked down the date for this year's Quad State Herf. It will be Saturday, August 11th from 1000 (10am) until dusk (roughly 2000/8PM) and the location is West Point's Recreational Area (Round Pond). It will be the same location as last year being that it was a big hit and all. It will be a day of relaxing, enjoying great BBQ (prepared by Sean Keever and his crew - Muzzle Brake BBQ aka: Big Guns BBQ) and a number of outdoor events, i.e., volleyball, basketball, horse shoes, fishing, swimming, paddle boating and much more. The recreation area is large enough to comfortably accommodate 200 - 250 guests.

The cost to attend the Quad State Herf is the same it was last year, $50.00 per person (half for food and drink and the other half for the "benefit"). As always, the West Point Warrior Transition Unit (Wounded Warriors) will be the benefit of the event along with "Wings for Warriors" http://wingsforwarriors.org/. As always, each guest will receive a very nice "goodie bag" and there will be plenty of stuff being raffled off at the event.

Below is a map of the area as well as Round Pond's website:

The actual address for the area is: 1348 Round Pond Road, West Point, NY 10996.

As more info comes up, I will update this post....... :smiley37:

I will start my back exercises now to be in shape:smiley20:

Up for camping again or going in on one of the buildings.

Assuming the PA entourage is attending, I'm in.

Could go to PA the day before ... hmm. I like Schlessinger's <sp?> though. Being able to eat and smoke a cigar at the same table is nice.

I'll be happy to go in again on ticket splits ;->

Would statistics indicate that we'd have all the good ones this year? A law of averages, or something?:smiley36:

I got your check yesterday Craig, good to go. I have 5 camp spots reserved already (same place as last year to include the one you had with power.
