2011 Northeast JetFest
Northampton, NY. June 25, 2011

This annual event returns to the Great Sacandaga lake in the Adirondack mountains. Based from Northampton campgrounds (http://www.reserveamerica.com/campgr...&parkCode=nort) JetFest offers riders the unique opportunity to either utilize the venue amenities by camping, or to drive in Saturday morning & spend the day with fellow pwc enthusiasts.

As in years past, participant's $20 entry fee automatically enters them to win a Sea-Doo PWC (to be debutted here June 1st) - along with raffle items provided by our stalwart sponsors (http://www.adirondackjetskiclub.com/sponsors.html) & a beach barbecue lunch.

JetFest will continue the two different rally ride formats, to include all models of pwc's based upon fuel capacity & rider preference.

With the continued growth & success of this annual event, JetFest will be hosted by The Northeast Watercraft Alliance. Spawned from The Adirondack Jetski Club - The Northeast Watercraft Alliance looks forward to building upon the foundation of this event & furthering the progression of organized pwc programs in the Northeast.

We look forward to seeing many familiar faces, along with new ones, Saturday June 25th at Northampton.

Booking of sites should happen ASAP. Since we are doing a slightly later date, the water will be a touch lower, the weather should be a touch warmer, and the demand is a bit higher. Water sites of course are always gone, but we have beach to ourselves and the water sites aren't a huge deal anyhow in IMHO.

I'm on site 205.

Heh, I got site 206. Hope you don't snore too loud.

Booked it about 1 week before you booked 205. I was watching 205 and wondering when someone was going to snag it.

Can't wait.

Ive got 207,

Snoring? Ask my g/f....only when I drink, lol.

Yeah with all the snowpack we have I'll be curious to see if we have water sites, mud and leaves sites or drained dry site. I don't really care about the water, I will set my skis anywhere close, with a Jettribe rock bag anyhow (which I sell at the shop!), so it's not really a worry. Plus I don't wear water shoes and the little narrow coves can be a touch mucky.

It'll be a great time....AGAIN!

Can't wait to see you all!

I stayed on 205 back in 2008 or 2009? Water level was very low back then. If the water level is lower this year, you may be looking at mud up that way for sure. They are nice big sites though!! Like Wayne said - it dont matter much anyway, leave your ski where every you want. I think we only lost one ski over the years. . . Kev's FX1

Just beware of "The Care-Taker" up that way. He dont take well to our kind!
