CCI-GT get together
Sound familiar?
Now that COVID restrictions have lessen, wouldn't it be great to meet in person and talk about our shared interests.
I'm a member of Georgian Bay Steam Show. Our show runs through the August long weekend. The last two years were cancelled due to COVID; this year is a re-start. We are having problems getting volunteers in all area's. We have a spot for Garden Tractor demonstration. This is simply a square where garden tractors in any condition are parked and people are allowed to look at and sometimes ask questions. I will provide a tent where we can sit and chat. We could have a CCI-GT in-person get together.
There is also a GT ploughing event on Saturday morning.
BTW, I went under the handle of Hydrogeek on another forum. The re-branding is due to a future project.

That would be amazing. I certainly would do my best to come, depending on how far it is because the small kids and are attached for life so

I showed M the picture of GT's plowing and said I plan on going. She mouthed off about the price of gas and how much it would cost to go. Well duh, mental health is priceless.

There's camping for anyone out of town. It's a whole show with entertainment for whole family.
FUTZ rhymes with nuts.

Re: CCI-GT get together
Hehe. Got looking at how far away this show is from me. I guess I won’t be going. About 4000 kilometres round trip, and at today’s gas price it would be about $1700.00. I have relatives in Ottawa and Toronto. That I, stress the word, might visit while up there. Hehe. If I went, which I’m not. Jumpins take me 3 days just to get there. Then the cost of staying some where. And food and whiskey cost. Jumpins could be well over $3000.00 trip. Then if something broke down on the truck or trailer. Holy cats.
But I still would love to go.

Re: CCI-GT get together
Unfortunately its a show too far for me too. I think it would be around 3000 Kilometers round trip for me. Worried when I got to the border Canada might not let me in and the US might not take me back!Propane57 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 10, 2022 5:48 am Hehe. Got looking at how far away this show is from me.

Sounds like a good time though. We haven’t been to a show since 2019.
