NEWS UPDATE FOR AUG 14TH “GRAND TOUR”

Only 10 days or so to go and we’ll be on our way, rain or shine, for the second “grand tour” to Kingston, the Tony Rickett vineyard and his classic car collection, a riverbank picnic we provide ourselves, some competition fun and finally dinner at the Inn in Evandale.

Signed-up participants so far include: David and Carolyn N; Bob and Diana E; Curry and Sherry A; Jim and Ellie B; Dennis and Brenda W; Alex and Lise H; Larry and Sandra H; Bob and Rita L; Kelvin P. and John and Shirley Ann B. (For additions, please indicate by using  the website Comments link no later than noon August 1th. Evandale Resort need to have notice of confirmed numbers.)

Starting from Timmies in the Fredericton Exhibition Grounds at 11.30.am, participants will travel along Hwy 105 to Hwy 695 through Cambridge Narrows and Springfield to Kingston for a stopover. The convenience store, gas station, historic church, community museum  - and washrooms will be available. (FABACians from Saint John will meet in Kingston at 12.30 pm.)

From Kingston, we drive to the Rickett “estate”, park our cars riverside for the picnic, meet and greet, enjoy the competitions, etc. Washroom facilities will be available. Around 4.pm, we drive down to the ferry at Grand Bay-Westfield for the run up the other side of the great Saint John River to Evandale.

Pray for a sunny day, bring chairs if you can and come and enjoy your LBC!

Oops!
Sorry about forgetting to confirm our intentions to attend. Of course the Earls will be there.

Sorry, but Dennis & Brenda must bow out. Due to the Musical Ride on Aug 21, we can only celebrate our daughters (2) August birthdays on August 14. (I really wanted to be in Cape Cod to see Johnny Rivers perform!!)

Hi- I hope it's not too late to confirm. Larry Heinlein/Sandi Byers are planning on coming, assuming that our trip next week to pick up our "new" TR3A is uneventful. Thanks. Larry

John,

I have to be tentative at this point as it's the same date as our grandsons final soccer finals.... but I believe they should be finished or near finishd by your rendezvous time.

I'll confirm by tomorrow Aug 8(if that's ok?).
