Class on tuesday consisted of us meeting with Thom Andersons Program planning class to coordinate the Chili Cookoff and our Fall Festival. We discussed which aspects each group would be in charge off and many details of the whole event. Thoms class is taking care off all the money and everything involved with the chili cookoff while we are putting on all of the games and skatejam taking place outside the building. We talked about how much to charge for our skatejam and the best way to get a lot of people participate in the jam while still making some money for LOC. Matteo as our spokesman presented our ideas to the other class and for the most part, they approved of our plans. All final decisions were made as far as pricing and the actual games and events that will be taking place, so we can finally get the ball rolling to plan this event.
On thursday our class took a trip to Cannon and the New England Ski Museum. The New England Ski Museum is located near the base of the tram at Cannon. The museum has all kinds of ols ski equipment and photos that tell the story of how skiing got started and continued to progress in the east. My favorite peice in the museum is Bode Miller's Olympic Medals, I thought it was pretty exciting to be able to hold something like that in my hands. Also while at the museum we sat in on a presentation on the history of Skiing in New Hampshire and Franconia Notch. The presentaion explained the first surface and chair lifts in the state and the notch. Also learned that the first ski trail cut in New England was at cannon and was all cut by hand. Skiing was being done before chairlifts and all terrain had to be hiked, there a lot of places in the notch where this early skiing took place. After we visited the Museum, Sean pulled some strings and we were able to take a ride on the tram. we took a cloudy, misty ride to the summit and had lunch in the lodge. We were able to see the tram work at the top station where all the mechanics are visable.
