Big Burke announcement

[dlague]

We like the Tamarack. Glad they added the "Pub &" into the name! :beer: We have always enjoyed thier food and it is priced like a normal restuarant. It has always felt like a sports pub to us since we will watch parts of the Pats games there on NEK Sunday while grabbing a bite before we hit the road.

I posted it because the video you posted was for a blood drive (?)

Having been raised in that area, I am very interested in the final results! We visit that region often and also visit Magog which they talked about too! However, that being said, many of my friends that still live up there are not very excited about it since the better paying jobs require skills/education that many do not have up there. As a result, outsiders will move in and take the best jobs. I still think it will help but that is just me!

Heck they blocked Walmart for years and that one is turning into a battle as to whether or no it should be located downtown Newport or on the Newport Derby area. The environmentalist have not jumped in yet on either front.

and skis will have Q-tips!

I'm a former LSC student as well. Was there from 1998-2000......never made it to graduation. Not from LSC anyway....went riding too much and the grades suffered. Booked a week there in February for me my wife, brother and his wife. It'll be my first time back in the area since then. I have a lot of great memories of Burke and NEK in general. Vaguely remember where the goods are at....I would welcome a refresher via pm if anyone is interested in dropping some knowledge. Looking forward to seeing some of the changes that have taken place.

Right off Wilderness and Dixieland or off The Jungle! Lots of places to explore to skiers right! I know some locals have names for the "secret" trails but once someone has been there - it is not so secret any more - others will follow the tracks!
