  1. I have updated Cabin list with confirmations for those I have heard from. There is not much space left but please don't let that keep you for options. There are several one bedroom Treehouse units available. Other options include several Watershed/Stonewood cabins that are off site but close and several hotels in the close area. The first year Randi and I attended we stayed at the Nantahala lodge just up the road.
  2. I have out the initial cabin list out there. Please take a look and confirm your intent to exercise dibbs from last year. For the cabins that are available, speak up if you want to stake your claim. Please reply on this topic thread.

  4. Great. We would love to have you. I will be putting up a list of requests soon and will put you in a Treehouse.
  5. 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.

  6. 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. It is our general consensus that the only pecking order that exists is one of common sense. Complete consideration will be given to previous year cabin occupants. Previous occupants will be given sufficient time to state to their intentions to attend again before a cabin is allotted to a newcomer. There have been issues in previous years with loud music in the Treehouses. Going forward the rule concerning systems in the Lofts and Treehouse units will be strictly enforced. Unless all Treehouse units are occupied by our group no music loud enough to be heard in adjacent units will be allowed. The same rule applies to the lofts. Music in the Treehouse rentals must be kept very low unless all four Treehouse units are occupied by our group. Edited October 23, 2021 by sea
  7. The next Carverfest will be held September 6 through September 20, 2023. We will again be hosted by Watershed Resort (Stonewood Cabins) just outside of Bryson City NC. Watershed Resort
  8. A time of Remembrance for Our Lost Friends. Please join us Tuesday September 13, about 8:30 PM, for a joyful time of reflection and story telling.

  9. Now we can firm up our plans. We will host everyone for a Shrimp Boil at Cabin 8, 7PM on Monday September 12. Look forward to seeing all of you.
  10. Some one mentioned to me they had not ordered because the link did not show any XL available. This link is for Color selection only. I am sure our screen printer orders from some other distributors. Don’t let this deter orders, Ed
  11. One more week to place orders. Thanks.
  12. Only a couple of weeks left to place orders. Thank you to those that have already ordered. Ed
  13. There has not been any talk of a project this year but if you are attending and willing to organize then go for it. 🙂
  14. We probably will not know her schedule until early to mid-August. We are definitely going to have our get together just don't know the date yet.
  15. 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.

  16. I am not sure yet but I think I am bringing a pair of Ohm Walsh 5’s in Eddie’s honor along with his Black VTA180 Tube amps. I am hoping to have a beta unit of one of Bob’s new tube preamps as well.
  17. Martin and Charle put in their deposit yesterday for the full 14 days. Now everyone has put in their deposit. Thank you to all for getting this done. This is shaping up to be the best attended CF of the past several years. We still have time for some late comers to take a few in nights in the one bedroom tree house units.
  18. Ed and Randi's Seafood Boil We have normally had this on the first Sunday night. We are going to host again but the night will have to be determined. Randi has started a job as American Airline Agent and will not be able to attend all of the Fest. We will swchedule this for when she is there after she has her schedule.
  19. Stonewood Cabins Second Saturday Event Freda and Stonewood cabins will host the third annual get together at the yard on the second Saturday night, September 17. The details are forthcoming but if like the last two years there will be live music, food and drink. Bob Schinske can vouch for the quality of this event.
  20. Please use this thread to post any events that you are hosting.
  21. I am sorry to say that it looks as though James and his family may not make it. At any rate he has given up his claim to cabin 11 to Kirk. On the other hand I am pleased to say: Kirk and Darlene as newcomers Greg and Jenny returning Brian Lemons returning James Lovell retuning RobertR returning after two years off LT will most likely make it for a day or two Carolee back after at least one, maybe two. Don't remember for sure. Rob and Zele will be attending but camping off site nearby also returning after a two year break. ....and.... Bob and Peggy back after a two year break. Rumor has it there is a possibility that we may even see George and Janice. It is great to see some newcomers and many old friends returning. All cabins are booked except for three treehouse units.
  22. I am not sure exactly what you have paid but I did look back at the calculator for the past four years. This is what I see for 14 days each year: 2019 $1695 2020 $1808 2021 $1891 2022 $2077 This is a 22% increase or $382 from 2019 to 22022. We anticipated a 10% increase from 21 to 22. It looks like to be right on it. Ed
