 The Red Jacket Inn, North Conway, New Hampshire, was site of the 2004 Gielow Family Foundation annual meeting.Located on forty private acres overlooking the Moat Mountain Range and Saco River Valley, the Best Western Red Jacket Mountain View is nestled right in the heart of Mount Washington Valley. The weekend provided perfect weather and there were many activities to keep us entertained, including hiking, a mud-bowl football game, a delightful mud-bowl parade, ping-pong, and many other amusements. The view of the mountains from the balcony outside the dining room was spectacular. |
