WinterFest 2006 VideoClip..

Post by **gmattson** » Fri Oct 21, 2005 6:36 pm

Susan and I just returned from a site visit to the McConnell Outdoor Center in Micanopy, Florida. (7 miles South of Gainsville) After many, many false starts, thanks to Mary Janson, WinterFest now has a permanent home.

Lots of work still ahead, but now we have an affordable, full service site. Watch the video clip and check out the WinterFest site for ongoing updates and pictures.

The new theme. . . "Continuing and building the tradition".
Hope you will join us on President's day weekend every year. It is the 3rd weekend in February.

Leave it to George to find a nice place to train.

I'm looking forward to getting with Gushi et al (hopefully including George Greiffer) to bring IUKF into some great kobudo. Thankfully we are playing with some of our own stuff up here. And what I feel is lacking in what we do are the kinds of things Gushi et al are doing and doing well.

We'll get on it, George. The way I see it, we may get more Mid Atlantic people down there than the New Englanders. And it's always great when you jump into a new circle of practitioners.

P.S. Tony, I believe it's cheesecake, and not cheeseburger. You ordered the wrong menu item!

Actually... I probably won't be able to come to winterfest. I'm supposed to be flying to Cali that month.. even if the schedules don't collide, I doubt I can afford two vacations in one month. I'll have to wait and see.

Bynne, i'll call you later this week..
