We are very pleased to announce that the Pawtuckaway Open Charity Ice Golf and Chili Bowl has a new Tournament Director and the next event will be held on Saturday, February 4, 2012 on Pawtuckaway Lake.
Jay Swymer, a long time supporter of the Open, is the new Tournament Director and Golf Pro. Tricia Guarino is the new Top Chili Chef. The tournament will be held to raise money for Fred’s Fund, a 501c Charity whose mission is to provide funds, goods and services to benefit the families and young patients being treated in the Pediatric Intensive Care unit at Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth (CHaD). The course will be essentially the same and the starting point will be the old 9th hole. The address is 15 Meindl Rd.
For more than ten years, we ran the Pawtuckaway Open in support of Families In Transition. We chose that organization because we were so impressed with the quality of their program and their success rate. We are equally impressed with Fred’s Fund and the great work they do for CHaD, striving to make life a little easier for families in the midst of very difficult periods. I encourage you to read more about Fred’s Fund here: www.fredsfund.org .
Eric and I are looking forward to playing in the 2012 event. We hope you’ll join us at the event and in supporting Fred’s Fund.
Mark your calendar for February 4th.

Due to changes in the state's Boat Registration process the Mountain Road Trading Post will no longer be doing boat registrations. The last time we checked, Wildlife Taxidermy & Sports at 2188 Candia Rd, Manchester (tel 603-625-9958) was still doing boat registrations.. And, you can still register your boat at the State of NH DMV. We know alot of people wait until the last minute and run down to the Trading Post to register your boats. This year you'll need to plan ahead!

Ice Almost Out and Our Kayaks IN!!
As the ice recedes and a small but growing band off water kisses the shore, Peggy and I launched out kayaks into the ‘cool’ waters of Lake Pawtuckaway. Yes, at 10:07 AM morning of the last day of March our yellow (hers) and red (mine) kayaks slide into the lake and we glided across the water toward the northern ice fields. The day we awaited since November had arrived. Our vessels danced along the outer edge of the ¾ inch thick remaining ice. Yet, the ice still held remains the glory of the February Golf Tournament. There prominently waiting the driver who will never come sit at least five white golf balls.

An estimated 200 people turned out to golf, taste over 20 varieties of chili, and socialize by the fire.
