Hi
I knew Alf would have the number. If variety is the spice of rallies, this is one spicy rally. Models represented from year to year vary and I can tell you a number of them I've seen in the past three years
Escapes, Compact junior, Bigfoot, Trillium , little joe, unik ( very unique) playpack, parkliner, Casita, Little Snoozy, Scamp, and the little guy who anchors it all, the venerable Boler. Come out and participate, tours, potluck, tour the Falls and the wineries ( on your own) and if you stay overnight the breakfast at Betty's. Every year there's a couple tent campers, when they return the next year they are sleeping up off the ground over wheels. Well behaved dogs come too. Wish I had one. More fun than any one person could have alone.

Sounds Great! I booked a site. We can bring some Amish clover honey for the exchange! We use it in our coffee and our tea.

Hi: Dylemma1... Honey works. It's also good on cooked carrots with a bit o butter and fresh dill.
Stopped in at the Riverside Motel& Campground to compare notes. My list is growing!!!

Gimme that

Hi All Niagara Wine Escapers.
New this year will be an event we're calling. "I could use that". You bring camping or trailer related items you no longer want or need. A couple tarps along the pathway to the Harry Potter Corkscrew Willow will
be provided. Starts 8 ish or so Saturday morning. Stop by early or as you are touring the open trailers. Leave your freebies, peruse the offerings, take what you can use, stop back at noon and pick up
anything you brought that nobody took. Come to grips with the reality that nobody wants it, and take it away. If you have something to trade or sell, make up a paper describing it and post the paper. Folks interested will visit you at your site and deal with you directly. Sounds like fun. Who needs a trailer hitch ball? How about a butcher knife for cutting up a giant zucchini?

I'm confused now. I picture you with a pup at your feet. Did something happen or are you saying that pup is not well behaved?

Dog being dog

Hi Roy
Yup we have a great dog, he runs, he lets kids rub his ears, he does tricks, only barks when excited and charms the ladies. He doesn't listen too well though so I made the tongue in cheek comment. Jake
has about 19,000 miles in this year on the camping trail.
He travels in a kennel behind me in the Highlander and loves camping, the smell of any animal
In the brush and the taste of gourmet string cheese.
He will be with us at Niagara in a couple weeks, we always take him to Canada as he's my interpreter. He's a French Brittany

Its Wine Escape week!!!!! As much as I love to camp and attend rallies in the summer, there is nothing like waking up to a cool, crisp September morning when the mist is still hovering over the Niagara River. I've been looking forward to this rally all summer, the unofficial kickoff to our fall rally season. Can't wait to see you all this weekend!

Hi all,
My wife and I would like to visit this Saturday morning to view trailers (specifically Escapes). Not sure what that routine would be; where to park, is there admission fee to the CG, are those that are showing marked in some way??? Any help would be appreciated.

thanks,
Marv

There is a gate controlled auto entrance at the motel which is in the cg. I believe you can park there, at the motel parking lot and walk in and the rally is right there. Us/we Escape owners love showing our units, so pick you trailer.

Hi: Stkshftr Marv... WELCOME IN ADVANCE...They may charge a day fee... but it's a small price to pay to view the Escape lineup!!! Our 5.0TA will be in site # 52. Stop in to say HI: There'll even be a couple of new 21'ers. One from NY State to view.

Identification

Alf
You forgot to tell these nice folks that visitors usually wear a beanie with a propeller on top so we can identify them as fiberglass trailer potential owners.
Seriously, as you walk around you'll find most owners outside of their trailers, sputtering, puttering, and muttering as they shine, drink wine and dine. Bring your picture taking device and feel free to take notes.

If you pull up to the gate you'll want to talk to Celia about entry. Explain your goal, she's very nice. Do not disassemble the crossbuck on the gate and drive through like some people have right Jim Norman?

Better late than never!

A late commitment after a whirlwind summer, Ian and I and the two dogs @tiny2plustwo will make it out again in our 1980 13' Boler. Looks like we will be 'off-grid'!

Just a quick note to tell everyone to have a great time! I'll miss my first Niagara Wine Escape since 2010 since I'm currently in southeastern Oregon. Hi to all...

Hi Everyone
Was wondering if someone could list the street address to the campground for my Garmin, coming from Hamburg N.Y. to check out some FG campers. Many on here recommend to first check out a FG RV rally before purchasing.

Thanks

Uh oh. You were right. Now HE wants a 19'.
