The Home Show Tour is a GO!

We have 6 stops and the final destination of the OVAS BBQ at Vincent Massey Park.
More details (addresses, etc.) will be posted Saturday.

The tour will run from approximately 11:00AM - 4:00PM, with half an hour available at each stop. We will try to meet at the first stop and travel in a caravan from there.

I can take 3 people with me, but they have to either meet me at my place (Beechwood Avenue/Vanier Pkwy) or at the first stop (Gladstone/Parkdale area).

Here is the tentative itinerary:

Stop 1: Pat & Trina (redbelly & alongfortheride) - 11:00-11:30
Stop 2: Sue (Sue) 12:00 - 12:30
Stop 3: Norm (normc) 12:45-1:15
Stop 4: Errol (charlie) 1:45-2:15
Stop 5: Enrico (Toss) 2:30-3:00
Stop 6: Ken (jetstream) 3:15-3:45
Stop 7: Vincent Massey Park (OVAS BBQ!)

I think my car is now full, as well.

You know I would be there if not for being in Montreal to get some wedding stuff squared away.  Hope those going have fun.

I'm sure the 4 of us will 8)

Since I seem to be the only one driving so far, there's no need to post everyone's addresses on the site.  If you decide you want to go, please PM me before 10AM tomorrow and I will send them right back to you.

I wanted to go. Is the first stop at Pat's (redbelly) house? What's his address, and what time should I be there?

PaleoFishGirl

Sorry, PM sent to freshwater, he's in possession of all the details (thanks, Crumpet).

Kobi

Yes, I would like to join you. I would like to meet you at the first home if that's OK.
So, yes please, send the address. Or maybe more than one in case I get lost.
Thanks - see you tomorrow

A huge thanks to all of the hosts (Trina & Pat, Sue, Norm, Errol, Enrico & Ken) and their families for allowing us to traipse through their homes! I had a great time, thanks for joining me!

:) :) :)

Crumpet

Had a great time today, thank you everyone for having us over!  Some terrific set-ups for sure :)

Thank you PFG for the lift

It was a really enjoyable event that I know I enjoyed immensely, in fact, I would say that not having had one of these events for years, it was a capital idea that panned out rather well.

Thanks to Trina and Pat, Sue, Norm, Errol, Enrico and Ken for opening their homes to the club and sharing their water worlds with us, it was a terrific afternoon with the perfect weather for tootling around the various neighbourhoods.

I look forward to doing this again next year, perhaps paleofishgirl will organize that one too on her vacation week or something. ;)
