You guys need to test drive that new in house pub.

I'm hoping there might be some kind of fiftieth anniversary party sometime / somewhere this year. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I gave it some thought and even checked on flights. Only $379 Boise to Hartford round trip, but I'd have to leave Saturday and still get from Hartford to New Hartford and 3 nights' lodging. Guess I'll save the money for another guitar. Best wishes to everyone at the party. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I guess I shouldn't complain that Easterners are geographically challenged. I forgot how small Connecticut is. Checking flights again. |

Location: south east Michigan | Mark... that's seems like a great price for a flight.
Detroit to Bozeman cost me almost twice that a month ago.
As l recall flying into New England has never been cheap. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I snoozed, I loozed. Now I can't find anything for under $600. I'll just look forward to your reports, especially about the new guitar.
For the future Ovation Fan Club Factory Tour, though, it looks like I could get a round trip flight on United for $398 if I book far enough in advance.

| Well talk about snooze you loose, all the tickets are gone. Even though this post was at the top I don't always look at the announcements and only just noticed it this morning.
Bummer, my guitar is in their shop and I might even have to be heading up there by then anyway.
Oh well. |

Though it's nice to know that there is enough active membership to fill the available spots so quickly, which according to the low posting volume each day I did not take for granted. Would have been sad if they did not go quickly. |

Me too. I'm travelling with someone and we're coming in essentially just for the events. But I think it's gonna be worth it to see, and to see some of the folks from here that I haven't seen many years... Meet a few new friends too. |
