New England Eggfests?

jfm0830 · January 25

I've been seeing posts going up the last week or so about Eggfests in other parts of the country. I was wondering if there are any Eggfests worth going to in New England and if so, where and when? TIA.

Isn't there one in Niagra or somewhere near there? Some sort of icecicle fest?

@Griffin-Niagara Falls is about 330 miles west of the line of demarcation for New England. I realize everything is bigger in Texas and 300+ miles is a morning commute so maybe some hearty New Englanders will make the trek :)>-

300 miles? Is that all? That's nothing. We drive that to get to the ranch. (I kid, I wish we were closer)

in newengland a hundred miles is the other end of the world, you change the oil, check the plugs, rotate the tires , make sandwiches for the trip etc

Not to mention 100 miles= 1.799 stops @ Dunkin Donuts for coffee, stretching, and bathroom duties.

a few years back i was coming back from the woods, truck parked at the side of the highway and met up with the blue lights, was asked if i was drinking.... ah yep,,,, we walked over to the truck so he could see all the empty dd cups

Not to mention 100 miles often gets you in to a completely different state. In my case it is often the State of Confusion. I live five minutes from New Hampshire, 45 minutes from Vermont and about an hour each from Maine, Connecticut & Rhode Island. I'm guessing there are probably ranches in Texas bigger than some of the New England states.

But seriously I probably won't make the one in upstate New York, That is an 8 Hour drive for me. I sometimes would drive through Niagara on my way out to Detroit. Although I do plan on trying to go to this years Eggtoberfest in Atlanta, I am thinking I'll confine any other Eggfests to the New England area. Hence my original question.

Sadly it isn't just Capital One. BofA shut down my credit card just as I was charging a room up in a bed-and-breakfast in Maine. I taken out money near my house in Massachusetts in the morning, charged something in New Hampshire on the way up to Maine and when I went to charge my room they shut my credit card down. I hate them with a fiery passion.

@hornhonk Have you gone to that one? Who puts it on and how big is it? Sorry for the questions, but I hadn't heard that name before. I went to their website, but there wasn't a lot of info other than some pictures. It did look like Dr. BBQ put in an appearance one year. TIA

Shockingly, all of our issues are with national chains. I never remember having theses problems before my local chain was bought out. :-<

as much as i hate citibank, the easiest refinance i ever did was with them last month, 1 telephone call, locked rate, no aprasals, no paperwork swapped, no questions, no costs, and everything got done within a few weeks. girl from boston drove up and everything was signed in 5 minutes, done. lowest rate i could find and everyone said dont do it

Been to the NH Fest and they do one heck of a job. Nice staff working to help all of their guests. Good set up area. Really nice day as long as Little Steven doesn't show up and haunt people! hehehehe

6/22 may just be the day I finally pull the trigger. I am going to mark the calendar now.

hornhonk · January 25

It was a lot of fun last year. We're going to try and attend again this year.

Howdy, Stranger!
