Dave Fortier once again opens his house to all iceboaters from far and wide this coming weekend. Sleep on the floor Saturday night if you’re on the way back from the NEIYA Swap Meet, or show up Sunday morning in time for a pot luck lunch and meeting after. Come ready to discuss iceboating issues, or to learn something about how the sport is pursued in Maine. Items to buy and swap are always entertaining. Often there are those with buyers remorse coming from the swap meet the day before. Their impulse becomes your bargain!

Directions to Dave’s: Maine Turnpike Exit 32, turn left at light onto Rte 111, drive for a couple of miles to a complex intersection. Turn onto West St., more of a bearing right, between a Burger King and a cemetery, go about 3 miles past a high school and through another light. At the next intersection turn Right onto Guinea Rd. then at about 1 mile turn left onto Cretien Rd. to second house from the corner on right (two buildings connected by a raised walkway).
