Group tour/shopping spree of Getsnus Pennsylvania location

Wonder if we could get Susan Ivey to come?

She's retired now, so she's got the time. You want to call her or me? ;-)

Do we get free samples?

Not sure if we can sample, but we can have a "snus tasting" for sure, lol

mid october works for me, right around my birthday and i have family in the area that i could go visit as an excuse lol

Talked to Frank a few minutes ago, and I brought this up before we got off the phone. He's on board, so we need to pick a date in early October. Do we want to do it over a weekend, or during the week. It seems a weekend would be better, because of work issues etc. Thoughts?

I'd definitely be coming as I live in NW PA. There are 2 of the big online cigar etailers from PA that do a similar thing for cigars, each of which gets bigger and more costlier every year. But I'd be game for a snus fest at the northerner warehouse.

I'd say a weekend would be better. There's probably a lot of people that couldn't do a week day.

Okay....how's the 8th or 15th for everyone?

Sounds good to me, but I don't really plan that far in advance :^D

What kind of setup do you have in mind Rick? There's a couple interesting things going on in PA around that time. They'd cost some money, but might handle infrastructure concerns. Bethlehem has some "free" music festivals during the summer/early fall. The Celtic Classic is the last weekend in September. I say "free" cause the entertainment's free, but they more than make up for it with food/beer costs :^D Parking's a bitch, but Bethlehem's a cool town. As a bonus there's a tobacco shop you could strong arm into carrying snus :^D

There's also the PA Ren Fest. That's in Manheim PA; a bit north of Lancaster. That would be tougher getting stuff in and out, and again it has a lot of expense involved, but parking's easier than Bethlehem. Anything overtly commercial is of course verboten.

We've moved the warehouse to Mechanicsburg, and I'm not exactly sure how far that is from Bethlehem, but I really like Bethlehem. I suppose we could have a get together at just about any place. Maybe we can reserve a room at a bar/grill or something like that in Bethlehem if we want to have it there. Or we could all just get together at the warehouse and have a cookout, "taste some snus", etc. We're very flexible on this, and we want you all to have a good time so we're open to suggestion.

Id probably take a trip from Ontario to make that happen. Id love to meet all the fellow snusers in the forum.
October sounds rocking, weekend of course.

Warehouse is good too, and probably better if there's "stuff" there, with "stuff" primarily being cover if it rains :^D

we could always take a road trip to Bethlehem afterwards, have to see how far that is. However, I'm sure if we all got together at the warehouse...after a few hours we'd find something to do in and around the area ;-)

Bethlehem is kind of far I think. Not as an initial destination, but as a road trip. If I had to pull a number out of my ass, I'd say it's an hour away; maybe 1.5 hours.

[rickcharles606]

Well then, that's a little far to be driving after the cookout and accompanying drinks that are sure to be had, lol. Two choices then, have it someplace in Bethlehem, or at the warehouse. The warehouse would probably be easiest in regards to logistics and the snus "tasting". Bethlehem would fun though. I'll let you all decide and we'll try and set it up from there.
