On the calendar already Stan! If you need a hand arranging Winter Island again just reach out. I LOVE that I get my annual dose of Salem the same time as Tfest!

I'm getting amped up for Salem and Tfest!
My Haunted Happenings guide for Salem's all October long Halloween festivities just showed up in the mail!
If you're on the fence about heading to Salem with us this year, step down and say you're coming!
We pack in to the igloo area, and have a BLAST!
We'll organize a group cruise to Brookline again this year!
Can't wait to see everyone!

Fire your cousin--your family should understand where they fall in comparison to Transporterfest! Besides, you can go to your cousin's next marriage....there will be only one 29th Transporterfest... |

I'm going to be purchasing tickets soon, the Haunted Happenings website and tour book have lots of great discounts too for events and museums in the area. If anyone wants to join, let me know and we can try to coordinate a group trip. This year, I plan on venturing out of Salem into Danvers to the Rebecca Nourse homestead, as well as to pioneer village. 7 Gables and the Burying Grounds are each a yearly staple, haven't done Corwin House in a few years and of course will do the street fair. Let me know if you want to join!

The timing definitely sucks but I'll make a comeback for the big 3-0 next year!
Stan, not to ignore the 29th but any special plans for the 30th TransporterFest next year?!
