Re: Thommie Retter
He did the same thing last year in Maine. It is not a public , ticketed event so far as I can tell. I expect it is by invitation.

Re: Thommie Retter
That video actually is a few years old, I believe. I have seen it several times, but it's nice to see that he has posted it again.

I thought perhaps we had seen it before, but since Youtube says Published on Oct 12, 2013 I figured it was worth posting.ERinVA wrote:That video actually is a few years old, I believe. I have seen it several times, but it's nice to see that he has posted it again.
