Ehhhhhxcellent, Wavedancer.
The Surly rigid fork would be right for your project. I've thrown a couple of those on mountain frames, and been happy. Low money, too.
With the 26" wheels, I don't know how the gear-inches translate, if you switched to your road gears. Probably OK, but you might want to keep the mountain cassette and mountain rear derailleur on there. I think your road levers will work with the V brakes. As for the front, 50 seems pretty high, and you might never use it. You could think about making your front a single, either the 32 with the mountain cranks, or the 34 with the road cranks. I'm making my front a single now.
Brockton and Canton are Oct. 27 & 28. Those are nice and not too far from the Cape. I just learned that Plymouth is 2 days, for the first time. Cool! Sat. is "North" and Sun. is "South".
