BOTL Canadian Herf -- July 24-26th, Southern Ontario

[bdc30]

With inspiration from the fun times it looks like were had at the Hillbilly Herf this past weekend, it's time to announce this year's version of the BOTL Southern Ontario herf!

The dates for this year will be Friday July 24-Sunday July 26th, in the bustling metropolis of Dutton , located about half way between Detroit and Toronto. We've got room to sleep probably 10-12 people, and spouses are welcome.

If there's interest, there are two golf courses nearby - Dutton Meadows is a 9 hole par 35, and Wardsville is a 27 hole facility so we could play both mornings. For the beer guys, there's also a couple local breweries not too far from me that we could check out (Railway City, Toboggan Brewing Co and Forked River) . Other than that, the pool and hot tub will be open, we've got pinball, arcade games, skeeball, darts and basketball so there should be plenty to keep us occupied.

If there are any questions - or you want to reserve a room, couch or camping spot, shoot me a message. I hope you guys can make it!

where would I fly into?

 

[bdc30]

Closest airport to me would be London, Ontario -- however for anyone travelling stateside, you'd be best to fly in to Detroit Metro. It's only about 90mins from my place and if we could sort it out I would do a pickup/dropoff run down or if there are any MI brothers who can attend I'm sure we could arrange to get you here.

Tony Rome and I already texting

Will depend on summer travel plans with family for me but will be eyeing this herf for sure

Thanks for the invite!

Have to check my passport status. If flights are reasonable, I'm in!

 

[Smokin Aces]

FYI....I live in Leamington which is about halfway between Dutton and Windsor Ontario. If I can swing it I will be in attendance and at this point it's probably a 90% chance I will be able to make it happen. I would also be willing to pick up some brothers who want to attend....I will have room for at least 3 people and I would be willing to travel into Michigan if anybody wants a ride. Please PM me if you have any questions.

I'll try Brent. Mama and I might already be going on an Alaskan Cruise during that time.

 

[jmartins]

Brent I am pretty sure I can show. Looking forward to it actually it will be even better to meet more brothers this year. One hell of a year for meeting you all.

[bdc30]

Couple months out but why not a friday eve bump? We're opening up the pool on Monday since it's already in the 90s here, and the Shack will be available for gaming and inclement weather...

Don't need passport if you're flying into DTW.

 

[bdc30]

They'll still need one to get across the land border though right?

 

[ChuckMejia]

So will the herf include visits to these "hands on" places @herfdog has mentioned in chat?

 

[bdc30]

lol I must have missed that discussion....

That's my thought.
