Topic: The Mackfest is coming ... April 26 and 27

Salut,

Since no one else answered, I'll give you what I know. Although it doesn't look like I'll be able to attend this year (work travel).

Both mornings people usually met up at Bunker's. Make sure to be there early enough, they usually have some Tim's coffee and this year apparently some food (but I wouldn't rely on that). Some people did have plans and just bypassed Bunker's. Regardless of who meets where, I would suggest trying to find a group of people you plan on being with and see if you can join others. There are tons of people going on all the rivers.

Also, hopefully this is not the case this year... but don't be late for dinner at Bunker's! Last year I arrived around 7:30 (I would say is a reasonable time for dinner) and they ran out of food. Like, there was NOTHING you could order. The menu did not exist for whatever reason. We ended up driving in "downtown" Marmora trying to find a restaurant of any kind. The closest thing we found that was open on a Saturday night was the Subway inside of a corner store. That was it.

Great rivers down there! You'll have a blast!

Do we all meet at Bunker's Saturday and Sunday morning?

One question though, looks like there is a race on the 27th, I'm not interested in that! Is everybody doing that race or what!?

Answer: how many club members would want to race a Class V run, where Bastien lost two teeth two years ago?

I am sure Sunday people will run one of the available rivers...

One question though, looks like there is a race on the 27th, I'm not interested in that! Is everybody doing that race or what!? Do we still meet at Bunker's that morning if we want to do something else than race?

[Francois Leclerc]

I'm planning to go on the 27th.

Adam and I are planning to be there.

Just received this message from the M.A.C.K. Fest organizer.

Bonjour tout le monde, Hi everyone!

I took over as Director of Mackfest this year and want to thank you for posting a forum on it! I had tentatively chosen the first weekend of April for the event but seeing that Mother Nature won't let go of winter, it looks more like the last weekend of April (26-27).

I will confirm these dates by March 15th so make sure to visit www.mackfest.ca

New to this year is a $500 cash prize to the winner of the Fish Hatchery race (Crowe river dam section), which takes place on the Sunday morning!!!

Pasta buffet, live music, raffle, silent auction, door prize and much more on the Saturday night at Bunkers Hideaway (www.bunkershideaway.ca), right in Marmora.

You can camp for free or book a motel/B&B when weekend is confirmed.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact. Si vous avez des questions, n'hesitez pas a me contacter au mannyfergie@hotmail.com
