The new pavillion beside the barn was ready just in time for our meeting. It was a tremendous asset during some wet weather and
made a wonderful social gathering place, particularly with several masonry heaters producing heat.

Initial feedback has been 100% positive.
About 70% of the attendees were new. This included a significant contingent of young professionals in their 20's, which is wonderful news for the future of masonry heaters and sustainable heating.

Thanks to Tom and April Dougherty for the photos.
  Six of us left Wildacres early Thursday morning and convoyed north towards William Davenport's family  hunting lodge in PA, 
where the conversations and ideas continued to flow.
Looking forward to next year already. Another great program is already starting to take shape.
