02/02/08 Tips:

Crash pad is safe and only $5, no reservation needed.
Don't try to drive or (even worse, WALK!) Take one of the shuttles.
Gobbler's Knob opens at 3 a.m., it is normally very cold and often
windy, dress appropriately.
Most of the action starts about 7 a.m., sunrise is 7:25 a.m.
Local cops and people are nice and helpful, but be sensible, this is a
FAMILY event, don't push too hard.
Come to snicker or participate but have fun, this is small town life
at its best.

Another Year, another GHD!

With some time left before the big day of days I am firing up this blog once again.

We will be covering the events of the big day but let me begin with an idea for residents.

Wouldn't it be a great idea to have a monthly flea market really promoted and well-sponsored in Punxy? Think of the traffic/tourism potential and the extra income for local vendors.

If anyone knows someone out at the new plumbing store/warehouse location on 36 north where the old drive-in was located, suggest it to them.

Nice location, easy to secure, charge a bit to get in, a bit more to sell and that would cover the security and cleanup costs.

This is essentially empty space on Sundays and has the benefit of not even clogging downtown with lots of traffic and parking all at once, although it would bring more business downtown.

The two adjacent car businesses would really benefit also.

Things like this can really snowball into major events.

Let someone you know about this idea.
