Just go up to the Rally Calendar on the tool bar here and jump to May 2012 instead of going to the blog.

Update on EggFest. Rideau Acres have notified me that they will hold the line on 2011 rates for next year and if we get 25 or more bookings there will be a discount on rates.

[Larry Tenhage]

Yeah, that sounds like a great idea. It'll be about a 4 hour drive away for us. & we have family in Kingston! We'd probably only be able to stay for the Thursday & Friday nights though. Will confirm closer to the date.

Look forward to seeing you there. Merry Christmas.

Happy New Year everyone. We have booked our first camping trip to Mew Lake, in Algonquin Park, for the end of April so it feels like spring is coming, and winter hasn't really started here yet. The ice fishermen are out on the lake but it's only about 3" thick so I think they are pushing things a bit. I know there's a lot more winter to come but we always feel we can see the light at the end of the tunnel when we've made our first booking for the new season. Hope to see some of you at EggFest at the end of May.

Several inquiries about cancellation policy at Rideau Acres in Kingston for EggFest2012. They have advised me that there is a $5 admin fee if you cancel before 7 days, a non-refundable $10 fee if you have requested a specific site # and after the "7 day window" the fee is one night's fee. They do no however charge if the cancellation is for health reasons.
Have eggs from 3 states and 4 provinces interested in coming, so hope to see y'all there.

Spoke with Neil this afternoon (nice fellow).

First Beachcomber trip of the season, I still have some work to do on the trailer but if I start end of April when I can get into our campground I should have most of what I need completed.

Cheers,

Rickn

Any idea of how many folks will be attending?

Rick.

[Vivian Layne-Parkin]

I'm not sure how many will be there as this is our very first event. Nobody has done one in this area and not in May so it will be interesting. I have about 25 who have emailed me or contacted my blog, but I haven't talked to Rideau Acres to see who else may actually have booked.
Hopefully we will get a nice turn-out, but I will wait until about a week before we head out to call for some numbers so I have an idea how much printing for stickers etc I will need to do beyond the original 25 I have designed and ready.
See you there.

Are these stickers for sticking to the outside of the trailer to say we have attended the event?

And do you have a picture of the sticker you can post here?

Thanks,
Rick.

[Vivian Layne-Parkin]

I wasn't able to post a picture here but it is on my blog. Go to eggfestbybizzian.blogspot.com and you'll see it. I'll try to post it here as it is also our logo.

The stickers are instead of buttons. Because we have no budget I had to keep things as cost effective as possible. We are not charging people to register but we are having a 50/50 draw hopefully to make sure we don't wind up in the hole. People may wish to put the stickers on a button or just stick them up inside their trailers, which is what we have done with other events.

We will have a sheet (in plastic) to put up outside your trailer as well.

Give me a bit of time and I'll see if I can get the logo up.
