[May 18, 2013] [CANCELED] NJPB Atsion Get-Together/Tour (Vincentown, NJ)

[Ben Ruset]

It's been a long time since we've had a site get-together and, with the articles on Atsion that I've posted recently, I've been plotting a meetup/guided tour of the town.

It looks like it will be Saturday, May 18th at 1pm. Meet in the parking lot behind the Atsion mansion. I'm going to try to see if I can get the mansion opened up for us as part of the tour.

Please RSVP so I can get a head count.

I can't make that date so I know there won't be any Crazy Juice.

 

[MarkBNJ]

I'd like to come, Ben. Can't promise on the date yet for various reasons. But put me down as a tentative.

 

[Ben Ruset]

Well, there probably will be a bunch of new faces from the NJPB Facebook page. It looks like the mansion tour is a go as well.

Those folks who have poked around Atsion before and/or know the history of the various buildings probably won't get too much out of the tour. This is going to be geared primarily for newbies.

Guh, canoeing that weekend, we'll actually be putting it at Atsion that morning. That's a shame, the tour of the mansion with the group a few years back was really good. Have fun!

I also should have assumed that this place would have a facebook group. Learn something new every day.

Back to to roots is always good!! I'm sure folks will have a good time.

Ok, sounds good!

JohnnyB: Mansion tours will be going on a regular schedule starting in May or June, I believe. Every Saturday at 1 and 2 PM.

The old man just told me I have a baby shower that I have to cook for that day, so I am out too. I will definitely be taking a tour over the summer though! I want to see the mansion!!!

 

[Ben Ruset]

FYI, we'll be meeting at 1pm, probably walking around the village for a while, and then doing a tour of the Richards mansion at 2pm.

 

[Ben Ruset]

Can I get an idea on the headcount for this? If there's too small of a group I'm going to cancel.

 

[MarkBNJ]

Not looking good for me, Ben. Sorry. Its sounds like fun, but I'm going to have some family obligations.

 

[Teegate]

Ben,

I will not be able to make it.

I'm calling off the tour. There really wasn't much interest. Maybe I'll try again later in the summer.
