The first day of our trip to Wasaga Beach was our day of playing Joe/Jane Tourist. We headed to Niagara Falls to enjoy the beautiful sites but when we got across to the Canadian Border, our hotel wasn't where it was suppose to be. Since international law does not require hotel relocation notification, we had to locate it ourselves. So, we parked all our Vette beauties and analyzed the situation. Once our analysis was complete, we realized they didn't relocate the hotel but in fact we had made a right turn instead of a left. We then drove our nine Corvettes back to the town in hopes the local folks would view us as a Parade rather then a large group of lost Americans. The Parade was a success judging by the many looks that we got as we drove to the hotel. The location of the hotel was ideal and was within walking distance to the beautiful falls, Skylon Tower as well as the Casino.

Friday

Up early for breakfast and sight seeing before heading out for Wasaga Beach. Some of the group took the tour Behind the Falls and some went to view Queen Victoria Park. We then all met at the hotel mid-afternoon and left for Wasaga Beach.

When we arrived at Wasaga Beach, we found what appeared to be an ocean resort. The view of the beach looked similar to that found at the shore with the exception of lake-sized waves in what appeared to be an ocean of water.

After registration, we started on our first fun filled event the "funkhana". This event was composed of five timed tasks that turned full-grown adults into fun loving kids...

Task 1: Banking a pool ball around four empty beer bottles up a raised ramp and into the hole. (Timed)
Task 2: Dunking a weenie tied around your waste into a narrow mouth bottle. (Timed)
Task 3: Sinking a golf ball up a 6-foot long inclined hole. (Timed)
Task 4: Shooting three darts for the lowest score.
Task 5: Carrying a hard-boiled head on a spoon over a pre-outlined multi-floor specified course. (Timed)
Task 6: Chewing two crackers and then chewing bubble gum to blow a bubble. (Timed)

The Wasaga Beach Corvette Club hosted a hospitality night at Banana’s (local bar) right on the beach. They provided food, drinks, music, and trivia games. The DJ awarded prizes (even if you did not know the answer). It was a really great time to meet the other Corvette participants. Everyone seemed in awe that people traveled all the way from New Jersey to attend this event!

Saturday

Today included a fun run of over 70-km with over 200 Corvettes. We went through several towns as well as unpopulated areas through the beautiful roads surrounding the Huron Lake area. Scenery was beyond belief. When we reached our destination, the Vettes made a 180-degree turn back on the highway, providing a beautiful parade of Vettes on both sides of the highway.

Sunday

The last day of the event included a complete car show with an expected 500-600 Corvettes. Both the Hetman's and the Leppien's entered their Corvettes. Although no trophies were had for the Vettes entered, the Club did get a trophy for the longest distance traveled. We were also treated like Ambassadors and were asked to be an extension of the Wasaga Beach Corvette Club.

All in all it was fun filled time for all with beautiful Vettes galore...

Two couples from the Wasaga Beach Corvette Club were planning on attending Carlisle.

They did show up and even brought us pins and pennants from the Town of Wasaga.

We all had a really great time and met wonderful new friends!
