Carverfest 2022 Wrap Up

Tue, 22 Nov 2022 15:45:12 +0000

Well, another one is in the books. I am sorry that I have been so slow in getting this post out there. CF22 was a huge success in my opinion. All cabins were occupied except for a Treehouse or two. We were fortunate to welcome three new couples to Cabin 11. We are very hopeful that they will return for next year.

The Stonewood Cabins staff did an excellent job of preparing for and hosting again. This was the third year for the Saturday night event in the Yard and it terrific. We are hoping it will continue as an annual CF event.

We also had a touching and memorable time of remembrance for several of our Carver friends that we have lost in the last few years. We honored the memories of Wayne King, Gary Gore, Eddie Mackiewicz and George Daniels.

Please join me in reaching out to Mike and his staff with words of appreciation for another great year. Their email addresses are below.

Carverfest 2022 Apparel

Tue, 14 Jun 2022 16:48:31 +0000

Carverfest is fastly approaching. We did not order shirts last year but I thought we would offer again this year for those that might be interested. We will offer Standard T's, Ladies V necks and Sweatshirts, all in a wide assortment of colors.

Full graphics will be the traditional carver logo on the breast pocket area, Carverfest information on back and a memorial badge on sleeve honoring Eddie Mackiewicz.

You can also opt for the pocket carver logo only.

As in the past, we will collect $5 per order to cover at least one, perhaps two, T-Shirts for Bob and Peggy. You will notice that the prices are up from two years ago just like everything else.

I am attaching a proof from 2020 to show the graphics placements and a rendering of the memorial badge for Eddie.

Guys

I really would like to return to Carverfest 2022 after a couple of years of not being there, as the USA would not let me in.

So if anyone has a spare bedroom and would not mind sharing, I would be interested.

My dates are Thursday 15 to Monday 19.

Flights from Ottawa have doubled, car rental has doubled.

Cabin Selection Rules and Guidelines

Sat, 23 Oct 2021 15:35:44 +0000

Carverfest Cabin Reservation Rules and Guidelines

The following is an attempt to update and state more simply and succinctly the guidelines going forward. The changes are intended to protect previous attenders but also leave room for newcomers to attend and establish their claim for future years.

1. Members who have rented a cabin the previous year for a stay of at 7 or more nights, of the official 14 Carverfest nights, will have the undisputed right to the same cabin the following year as long as a stay of 7 or more nights is again planned. The intent to exercise this right must be communicated by March 1 of the upcoming year.
2. Generally if a member skips a year, said member will lose their rights under this Rule. Exceptions may be granted for severe health conditions, health concerns or other extreme and unusual circumstances.
3. Members who have rented a cabin the previous year for a stay of at least 7 or more nights, of the official 14 Carverfest nights, will have the right to claim any other cabin that meets any of the following criteria assuming a stay of 7 or more nights is again planned,
a. The cabin was empty the previous year

b. The cabin was occupied for fewer than 7 nights of the official 14 Carverfest nights the previous year.

c. The previous year occupant is moving to another cabin or has declared they will not exercise their rights under Rule 1.

3. In the event Rule 2 applies, precedence will be given on a first request basis. Request must be made in a public post to the Carverfest Reservations thread or communicated to the designated coordinator who will in turn post in the Carverfest Cabin Reservations thread. (added for those that might not have the ability or desire to visit the forum)

4. It is important that we have some rules and guidelines but the over riding intent is to protect members that have stayed for any period of time the previous year. They will have the right to any otherwise unspoken for cabin for the same time period if is not claimed under Rule 1 or Rule 2. In other words a newcomer will not take precedence over a prior year attender under any circumstance.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE CONCERNING THE TREEHOUSES AND LOFTS

Music in the Lofts must be kept very low unless all three lofts are occupied by our group.

Music in the Treehouse rentals must be kept very low unless all four Treehouse units are occupied by our group.

General Information concerning Carverfest Administration and Reservations

Sat, 23 Oct 2021 15:26:26 +0000

We did not really use this sound room last year after Ray started his forum. I have decided to once again have this forum activated and kept current so that the users of "thecarversite" and others can stay up to date without the requirement to be active on Carverfest.com. I will be sure that the information does not end up in conflict. There is not a reservation list or any information whatsoever about CF2022 on Carverfest.com as of yet. If a reservation request is made here I will immediately post it to the other site making it a timely and official request (of course as long as the cabin is available). I will also keep an eye on Ray's forum and reflect any requests that he posts to this site.

I will start a thread called "Reservation Discussions". This is the proper place for questions and requests for a cabin. When requesting please also state the dates you plan to attend.

I will start a second thread titled "Carverfest 2022 Cabin List". That thread will be locked and updated as requests are made on the above thread or communicated to me from the other site.

The rules for cabin selections are the same as the revised rules from last year. I will repost them on this topic soon.
