ON | Sept 14-16, 2012: Niagara Wine Escape 2012

[Roy in TO]

Sorry to hear that Lenny,
You are welcome to visit if your situation allows. Hope it all works out for you.

Way to go Jim!!!
I'm looking forward to the baked beans.
I'm not sure Alf needs any more help with the hot air. ;-)

I'm teasing you Alf.

Hi Alf
As it stands today, I'm bolerless Missing my Pine Cone. Its is still in the body and paint shop getting all done up in Interlux Brightside by my nephew. My hope was to have it completed for Niagara but she needed a little more work than i thought, so rather than rush it.... I look forward to meeting you all at the next one. Pictures of the new paint job to following once it is home of course. Have fun everyone!

Hi Roy
Thank you so much for the offer. That was truly the best offer I have ever had. Should my plans for the weekend change, We will definitely see your there. Thanks again for the awesome offer Roy. Cheers

Hello all - I'll be at the Niagara Escape, arriving from Ottawa Friday afternoon, leaving Sunday.
I have reserved a campsite for both nighs, but didn't get the number.
I look forward to seeing you all, after a gap of a few years.
Will be in my 1975 13' Boler, which is for sale, and has been advertised on this site.
Is there a "program" for the week-end? I read that there's a potluck Saturday night - that sounds great - anything else I should plan for?
See you Friday!

Hi: All...Just trying to get the bugs off from our trip down east before leaving Fri. am. I can't believe that the Border Patrol didn't try to fine me for importing bugs!!!
KarenH... Looking forward to seeing you again.
Lenny T... There's always next year but if you wish to drop by feel free to do so.
Lespnd... Sorry you're Bolerless. Ours isn't towable let alone campable. The Riverside does have a small motel if you feel the need to get-a-way anyway!!!
cpaharley2008... Glad your legal. Now I won't expect a message at the CG. to come bail you out!!!
I hope everyone has a nice relaxing time. Gather at site 52 for a fri. nite campfire. If anyone wants to contribute a barrow of fire wood that's ok. Sat. am. look n see trailers. Sat. pm. find some nice wineries while the beans are bakin'. Potluck sat. night and for those Casino winners, et al with any cash left Sun morn., follow us to Betty's for brunch!!! That's about it.
Looking forward to seeing you "Down by the Riverside"!!! Alf& Mary Anne aka

I figure Alf will need some help with more hot air !!!

Hi: cpaharley2008... We can have a mini bak'd bean cookoff... but mine'll have lots of meat in 'em. The excess "Hot Air" might be necessary to create enough wind to keep the rain showers away!!!

Does anyone know if there is wi/fi available at the c/g and if it is at your campsite or some other place? Thanks

[Carol Ann in TO]

There is wifi. I think it was an extra $5 per day last year

[Scouter Dave]

I've been on the road for a couple of weeks now. I do not have anything left for the pot luck but I did pick up a dozen ears of peaches and cream corn from the market in St. Jacobs today. They should still be fresh enough for Saturday night. Hope there is a big pot available or a few small ones I can borrow...
See you tomorrow afternoon.

[cpaharley2008]

Arrived safely across border, no fanfare at all. What a lovely place, right on the river.

[Alf S.]

Hi: cpaharley2008... Glad you like our Niagara Riverside. Hope you're all settled in. Be there noonish tomorrow. Sorry no one was there to play the fanfare!!!
