    NEHHA Spring Swing 2014

    Thought I would get the'Official' Trip Report thread started here. What a great hang yet again! We had over 50 Hangers, and raised a bit over $900 for children's cancer research for the Jimmy Fund at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. I will be delivering the check to them in person on Friday the 18th. Will post a pic here.

    My camera (and phone) were dead, but many people took pics and videos, so I hope to see a lot getting posted on here!

    A more detailed report will follow, but I want to express a huge thank you to all the cottage vendors who contributed to the raffle!! And Dutch, for not only contributing, but also for breakfasts again of French Toast and Scrapple. If you don't know what Scrapple is...Ummm...don't ask.

    All told it was a great time. There was blood (lots) but everyone survived, albeit with a higher stitch count. Luckily, we had an Emergency Care facility close by, and a full medical kit with us! Stories to follow, I am sure!

    Hang tight!

    Always a great time! The boys has a blast. Between sword fighting and playing in the mud, how could they not?! Only had my phone with me, but too a few good shots. Enjoy!

    This was my fourth NEHHA and they keep getting better, mostly because each hang I get to know the NEHHA community of great people even better. Jane, aka NyQuil, and I had a great time! Big Thank You to Sky and Gastar for all the planning and hard work organizing. Also a Thank You to Dutch, Hammock Gear, Hennessy, UGQ, Hammock Forums and all the other vendors that so generously contributed to the raffle. And lastly thank you to everyone else that contributed to make the hang so much fun from food to seminars to just hanging out, which is what it's all about.

    NEHHA Spring Swing 2014

    ===> I did manage one shot before the phone died. This is Dutch doing his Dutch Bling Demo/Workshop. Notice Raiffnuke in the background looking on and thinking, ".67 and .98 Argon fabric? Awwww....CRAP! Now there's MORE stuff I have to buy!"



    LOL!

    NEHHA Spring Swing 2014

    A great shout of well done to Sky and Gastar. You guys not only organized the weekend well but you found a great place at a great price. I can't say my appreciations enough for you guys taking on this weekend. Though it was tough but I think I did relax a little throughout the whole weekend. There was great food, brisk weather and my favorite awesome people. A truly great weekend.
    Mama bear you are one tough lady. Daniel I hope you feel better. And to those who couldn't stay the entire time you were missed.
