I had a small one day run a few years ago here in Essex County. We had some Ohio and Michigan fanatics show up to tour a couple car museums and a tropical garden/animal/amusement place. We cruised down to the Point Pelee Park.
Is it time to have another meet north of the boarder?

Sorry for the tardy reply, Key West for Christmas and New Year's has altered my daily schedule. Plan B looks good to me as long as it's in the middle of the month as I'm on the planning committee for a major car event in Toronto during the first 2 weeks of the month.

I am uncertain that I can participate due to some changes in our personal life. But I will get the word out for MI members when all is set in stone!
Yes Ed,

We would be pleased to have your SSR group attend our show this year. Our date is set at July 27 at the Reif Estate Winery on the Niagara Parkway just north of Niagara-on-the-Lake. Let us know what your agenda is for that weekend and perhaps we can do something jointly. In the past few years we have had an informal social the night before the show with Corvette owners who come from out of town, namely Sudbury and Ottawa.
As you may know, our show is open to all cars ( and trucks) and the total proceeds are donated to the Niagara Peninsula Children's Centre.
Look forward to meeting with your group.
George Dalbergs - President, Niagara Corvette Club.

Some stuff added
Been called a lot of things but long time since i was called a scout !
One small issue with the falls is you never know to till the day of where the mist is?! I quit going there as my rotten luck always has it on the road and getting my fresh wash job dirty. Mist is a 24/7 program as they never shut the falls off - only the lights !
I will scout out photo locations and post some in the next couple of weeks. we maybe can get a shot above the escarpment.
Another Suggestion would be to meet in Sarnia at Hot August Nights Concert Cruise....Event date is August 14.....Pre Cruise for everyone to attend the Woodward Dream Cruise.....Sarnia is only 1 hour from London and only 1 hour nort of Detroit....
Boy I'm lucky I just stumbled across this thread by accident! I like Plan "B" Best but A will work. Patrice and I will attend. I can bring my Kodak too!
Hope my Passport is good? I like the LS2 plant tour idea too.

Cam,
A possible photo vantage is From the tower I got some good views from there. I will search for them and post one or two.
Big Jim thanks for the reminder on the passport as I had thought to mention this the oother day
For our American friends thinking of sliding across the border for the day or the weekend - NO PASSPORT is required to enter Canada or to return to the USA. This is only needed if you are coming in by plane into Canada.
Big Jim thanks for Jumping in as we will require your skills (nobody wants mine!) you are now offically on the unoffical list !
Big Jim which Tower ?
I am going for a tour this weekend and will take a couple of cheap shots
from different vantage points
1 & 2 Were taken from Observation Tower, with a telephoto we could get decent shots from here.
3 & 4 Were taken from the hotel we stayed at, This was from Carl & Debbi's (Savilloc) room I think the 15th floor Marked a couple of possible parking spots This of course would need to be negotiated with the locals? Also one
spot located in the USA. Photo locations are non existant all the space for hotels....

Oh...and ya never know when some Jersey rif-raf might show up north of the border.
I will do the calendar for 2009 Plain Janes....it will be fun, I just hope I can get other Fanatics to send some photo's to me. ( Left Coasters & Middle Fanatics ) I'm working on more "R's" from the East Coast for NOTL!!! That's

I'm sorry Jane I'm a child of the 50's and not too politically correct very often...sorry I should have said Factory Original Condition Vehicles! or something like that.
Niagara on the Lake - LS2 Engine Plant Tour Summer 08
Small wrinkle in the plan to iron out ?
Talked to a Rep at the plant in St. Catherines, ON (makes the LS2 & LS3 Engines) last week. He said very, very, very, very hard to get a plant tour for a small group. He suggested we show up for the GM Car show at the plant on 8-8-08 (Friday) (the weekend before Woodward in Detroit) as they will have the plant setup specifically for tours including displays. The Niagara Corvette Club also helps them organize this event (this is a busy group!). He has committed to giving us group parking for this event. I have enclosed the website for the plant so all can preveiw last years event. He also said we could apply for a plant tour on July 25/08 and he would run it up the pole but not an exciting tour and a rare event to get approved. There may be some GM employees on here that could help out on this?
