Our very recent vacation to Maine included Two New England Kossack Meet-Ups organized by Common Sense Mainer (Michael) and Bill in Portland Maine. Kossacks from Connecticut, Massachusettes and New Hampshire and Maine showed up for some fun socializing and heady Political Discussions, Ok, we ate great Seafood and some of us had a few drinks..LOL.
Kudos to Michael & Bill for their Planning and Organizing and, Kudos to the Attendees for traveling to Portland and Old Orchard Beach. What a Fine & Sweet Group of Kossacks, We couldn’t have hoped for a nicer time on Di Millo’s Floating Restaurant and Brunswick Oceanside Restaurant in Old Orchard Beach (OOB).
The Di Millo’s Meet-up pics appear First here, the OOB Pics subsequent.
HairyTrueMan & Family were unable to attend the July 7th Meet-up, hence the July 5th Meet-up in Old Orchard Beach, where we got to finish our evening there with Fireworks on the Beach. What a Hoot!!
Merci Beaucoup & Cheers to Christian for all the Pics (except the one of him) and the Film!
Enjoy our Cheers & Jeers style Comraderie below da Fold:
