Quabbin cruise 2015 planning

[Formula413]

Hey all, it's time to start thinking about this year's spring cruise. I want to get people's input on a date. We have been holding this event in mid May, which would be the 16th-17th this year. One issue with that date this year is that there will be a lot of traffic on the Mass Pike due to an air show in Chicopee, and the Pike is the route many people use to get to the cruise. The last air show in western Mass caused massive backups on the Pike and I wouldn't want people to get stuck sitting in traffic. My suggestion would be to move it to the weekend of the 23rd-24th. This is Memorial Day weekend so I know some people might be tied up then but the weekend two weeks previous (9th-10th) is Mother's Day weekend and that always seems to be an issue for people. Anyone who wants to put their $.02 in on this or any other aspects of the cruise is welcome to.
