Title: NEAR-Fest Traditional AM Dinner
Post by: W3GMS on April 21, 2024, 03:45:27 PM
I wanted to let everyone in thee AM community that I just made the reservation for the tradition AM dinner that we have during NEAR-Fest.  Since NEAR-Fest will be Wednesday and Thursday this time around, the dinner will be on Wednesday at 6PM sharp.  It will be at the normal spot which is now called Northwood Birchwood Brewery and is the former Johnson's Steak and Seafood restaurant.

We will be able to order from the full menu and there will be separate checks.

Normally they do not take reservations, but I told them the history of our event and they are accommodating us.  We will likely have 2 servers since I made the reservations for 30.  I know in the past, we gathered around 7PM, but it was suggested by the restaurant that 6PM would be the best time to accommodate our group.   

73,
Joe-W3GMS

If I remember correctly, Johnson's Steak and Seafood restaurant had several locations in NH. For 1st time visitors to Near-Fest who want to attend the dinner, actual location and even directions (say from the hamfest) might be useful.

AND, if you Google Northwood Birchwood Brewery, you get Northwoods Brewing Co.,
https://www.northwoodsbrewingcompany.com/

SOME CLARIFICATION WOULD BE HELPFUL.

Nothing worst then a bunch of hungry PO'd hamfesters driving around trying to find the right restaurant.

From what I gather, the restaurant is at the same location as the brewery.

Since NEAR-Fest will be Wednesday and Thursday this time around

NEARFest is Thursday and Friday this time, instead of the usual Friday/Saturday. Not Wednesday/Thursday.
