Well you rascal. Any chance you could zip up there and get more and bring it down to us?

Hi: Red Dog... Well that might just have saved it from turning into a "Free for all". If that was to happen it'll be a "One off" event. I have a 4 pack of Ripsnorter Vanilla Porter from The Refined Fool brewery in Sarnia. Might stop on my way out of town and get a 6 pack of Railway Cities Black Coal Stout too!!! It's dark and moody.

I'm a one beer man like I'm a one woman man, too many of either complicate your life....

Well I got the beer, food, clothes, beer, air in tires, giveaways, maps, beer, grill all packed. did I say Yuengling Light for Alf, more beer. Some neat Mason jar shot glasses are packed, refer has been at -0-/35 for past 3 days on propane. House sitter already arrived so we are going to nap now and hope to leave around 2 am, eta lunchtime tomorrow, did I mention beer is packed, everything else is superfluous.

Jim, Looks like you are properly prepped. How much beer are you allowed to bring across the border? We're looking forward to meeting everyone. I've never seen a mason jar shot glass but that sounds pretty cool.
Any word on how many campers are coming to the rally?

Keep in mind that the usual purpose of travel is to experience new things, like local ( Ontario ) craft beer.

I agree and as someone who lives 20 minutes from the border, I regularly enjoy Canadian brews. However, I plan to bring local American craft beers for the exchange. Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Thanks

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who showed us their trailer this weekend. We learned a lot. Glad to have a chance to see them before we order.

Now be sure and mention the owner of the unit you saw when you order, they get a little present from Escape.

Enjoyed meeting you and your wife plus kids too. A rally like this one is one of the best places to get a feel for the Escape trailers.

Regards,

Sorry for the link but I have 71 photos from this weekend's Rally to share. Feel free to download and use any/all pics. I had a wonderful time making new friends, seeing other Escape models and enjoying the fabulous weather in Niagara. Hope you all enjoy the pics and that they inspire you to attend an Escape Rally yourselves!

I'm grateful for friends and the Niagara Wine Escape.

I'm grateful for the Niagara Wine Escape rally and the opportunities it brings to see many of our Escape friends. Sunday morning is difficult to say good bye to everyone.

A special thank you to Alf and Marianne (sp?) for all they do to organize this rally and make it the success it has been. May it continue to grow and flourish for many more years.

Peter & Nancy Styer,
Frewsburg, NY.
