do we need to pre-register for the pancake breakfast?

No just show up at the time and place which will be posted on the list of activities, which you will receive on the Friday night at the Meet and Greet Campfire.

Hi Rick , any idea how much to cook for the potluck ? I am wanting to be prepred

[Rick Mooyman]

Hi Nadine. Bring as much as you are comfortable bringing. Some items run out and some have left overs. It really depends on what the crowd likes to eat and being for potluck, you really never know what your going to get until you go down the food line and see what is available.

So far there are 25 Trailers registered and unfortunately not everyone gave me a head count, but my best guess is 51+.

I know it is not the answer you are looking for, but that's how potluck works. Bring your dish of food, your plate and cutlery and what ever you want to drink with your meal and fill your plate with goodies everyone else brought. I am sure you will not go away hungry LOL.

Thanks so much Rick , I can't begin to tell you how we are looking forward to this weekend ,now I just have to decide what to make

[Rick Mooyman]

Make something you like and would love to share with the group that is easy to prepare at camp or will not spoil if prepared at home before the event.

Other years there has always been a great mix of food and I don't think anyone ever went hungry.

[SBracken]

Just a suggestion/request, it would be helpful if the food was labeled with a little note with a basic description. Some of us have dietary restrictions and that makes it much easier, though I certainly found lots to fill my plate in the last few years

[9385kevinl]

hello, im kevin and family with a 17 ft boler, we will probably be going to the Morris stardust drive-in on the Thursday night - if its still running, I think they do camping too if anyone wants to go Thursday aswell- if its open

[Rick Mooyman]

Hi Kevin. Are you the Kevin that responded to my co-host's ad on KIJIJI?

Are you sure you don't mean the Morden Stardust Drive-in?

We’re having a Boler Open House and you’re invited!

<image001.jpg><image002.jpg><image003.jpg>

Who are we?
Tom McMahon, Kelly Klick, Jack Klick, Dianne Klick, Jacob, Patrick and Kendra

What’s the point?
After two years of renovation, we now have the Boler trailer of our dreams to match the Klick family 1953 Mercury pick-up truck (Mercury pick-ups were made and sold only in Canada)! We’ve been blabbing on and on about our Boler for so long, we thought we would let you know it’s finally done! We’re so excited we want to show them off! If you, or anyone you know, is interested in or just curious about old pick-up trucks, old fiberglass trailers or renovation projects, or simply want to say hello, this is your chance to have a look at what we’ve been up to!

What’s a “Boler”?
Boler trailers were invented in Winnipeg by Ray Olecko in the 1968 when he realized that the light-weight septic tanks he was inventing could be turned upside down and put on wheels! Bolers were produced from 1968 to 1988, and several similar fiberglass trailer companies followed. They are named Bolers because they resemble a Boler hat. Ours is a 13 foot, 1975 trailer.

When?

Sunday, June 22 from 3:00 – 5:00 p.m.

Where?

Fort Rouge Leisure Centre parking lot at 625 Osborne Street and Kylemore

NO NEED TO RSVP. EVERYONE WELCOME.

Less than 2 months to the Event. So far 26 campers registered and 3 maybe's.

Made some more mods to my Boler and still trying to decide what to cover the AYR-FOIL Reflective insulation with.

I have looked at numerous postings and other sources for Boler history, and consolidated these into a single document. If anyone would like to suggest corrections or additions, please email me at tom.mc@shaw.ca. Or we can chat about it at St. Malo get-together!

[Ian G.]

Looks very good Tom, I want to read it more carefully that my quick scan but WOW. Looking forward to meeting you and having s chat at the Manitoba event

[Rick Mooyman]

Just a quick update on St Malo. Section A and Bay 11 are all sold out. There are still lots of sites in Sections B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I and J. All are close enough to get to for campfires and the trailer tour.

So far 28 registered campers, but some are shy and don't let me know they are coming and just show up and join the group, which is ok too. Just makes it harder to know who is part of the group for the trailer tour. We are on par with other years so looks like a good group will be coming. Some are newbies and coming to their first Rally. And lots are veterans returning from other years.

Shirley and I are off to the Rally in Macklin SK tomorrow along with my friend Luc and we will meet Chris and his girlfriend there. So looks like 3 fiberglass campers representing Manitoba will attend.

I did an interview about the St Malo Rally with the Winnipeg Free Press along with Tom and Kelly aka rova. Both our Bolers will be featured in a 1.5 page article in a upcoming Saturday Edition. I will let you all know what Saturday it will run once they give me the date.

More info to come as we get closer to the Rally.

[Rick Mooyman]
