Could someone please PM me directions. THe location is really all I need. I have maps.
Thanks.

A couple people have told me that they thought this Broomball/Luau was a sleep-over event. At first, I was saying that it was not but that we'd be able to accommodate a few people sleeping over if they wanted to. However, some people who live here do not want this to be a sleep-over event. I'm sorry, but I want this to be clear to everyone before you come out, so please plan accordingly: this is not a sleep-over event. People are welcome to stay late and keep having fun, but at some point you won't have to go home, but you can't stay here.

One more announcement: The address is 31 Hoyt Road, Grafton, NH. If you enter that (or you might need to leave off the "31") into Google maps, it should find us, but it might give you directions that go through unpaved back roads. That's OK - they will get here. But here are better directions from the Manchester area.

Take 93 north from Manchester; take exit 17 and go west on 4; go about 19 miles and take a right to stay on 4; drive about 17 miles (through Danbury) and take a left on Prescott Hill Road; take a left towards Slab City Road at the first "Y"; drive about 2 miles, then turn right over a very short one-lane bridge  (this is the dirt road called "Slab City Road" - if you hit a dirt road without crossing a bridge, you've gone slightly too far); in about 1/4 mile, take a left onto our driveway, 31 Hoyt Road.

Also, you will probably not have any cell phone reception within about a 20-minute radius of our house, so do not count on calling us from your car if you get lost!

They can't hear you now.

the frozen puddle out back is looking workable ... i shoveled off most of the last 2 inches and tiny amount of snow from yesterday ... it should melt the rest to a fast track today. I almost fell once shoveling.
There is a little area to skate around, but most of us will be slipping and seeking the shelter of the snow and tall grasses.

We will use 2 "pucks"
a porcupine frisbee and happy fun ball
Friday is not allowed to play with happy fun ball
the frisbee is worth 2 points for your team and happy fun ball takes one point away from your opponents
happy fun ball might also just keep rolling in this wind and never stop
the gentlemen will be playing into the wind and the ladies will be defending a smaller goal with the wind at their lovely backs

I'm bringing Hawaiian shirts and three brooms.  And sushi, of course!

What time does the game start??

[Kat Kanning]

I think he was planning between 10 and 12, but it's sure to be a laid back affair

Friday is not allowed to play with happy fun ball

  And all because I made the mistake of referencing a basic of law of physics.  Damn me and my pragmatism.   

It's currently 39 degrees in Grafton.  Have fun, y'all.

[Russell Kanning]

don't look directly at Happy Fun Ball

Wow, did I have a great time at the game it was the most fun this winter.  The roast pig came out delicious.  Nearly everyone was there.  It had to be the fashion event of the season.  Wall-to-wall loud shirts and grass skirts were a delight and the angry fire tiki dance was simply smashing! 

[Jim Johnson]

Thanks Mike, I had a great time.

That is truly excellent!
