well now that i got your attention we ( a small group of canadian eggers) want a fest and need your help.
our question to you is when? where? and how many would actually participate? also we will need an email list so we can occasionally send you some info or questions.all input would be greatly appreciated and remember this is just a survey and not a confirmation for a fest. but if we get enough response and ideas we are willing to do some work to get one going for 2009!
at the moment we are thinking ontario would be the most central area and kinda leaning on orangeville....if you want you can email me for other comments or suggestions.plus i would love to get as many canadian eggers emails to keep in touch.hopefully we will get many eggers from south of the border to assist in this as well!thanks in advance
my email is mikeb6109@msn.com

Yea I was looking at a map and could not figure it out. Thanks for the info...
I might have to stay a few extra days and fish.... -
woohoo, Orangevill is only one hour from home! In fact, we can even ask BGE's Canadian distributor (see link below) to sponsor/host the event, they're in Newmarket which is about an hour east of Orangeville.

if it's a go and i'm in town i can even run a minivan airport shuttle for eggers who need it.
mike you already have my email for the T-shirt draw.canuckland -
Add me to the list - would love to go!
-
-
judging by the distane, you must be east or north of Bangor?
never mind, just noticed Verona Island in your signature. lobsters, yum!canuckland -
Steve,
Vaughan, just north of Toronto. Our city council's slogan is 'the city above Toronto'...
When our mayor Lorna Jackson died few years ago, a cartoonist came up with this brilliant piece of work: Jackson was greeted with 'welcome to the city above Vaughan'canuckland -
everytime you mention eggfest they kinda disappear!
they lack on support and participation! man they did not even go to the the fest in atlanta and they are the sole distributor for the egg in canada!! but i will email john and brian over at the grill guys in newmarket! -
Mike
Add me to the interested column ... you should have my e-mail. I think that a Canadian version would be a blast.Tom
Charles is a mischevious feline who always has something cooking
Twin lbge's .. grew up in the sun parlor of Canada but now egging in the nation's capital

It sound like a good idea. Just a suggestion, to add a second one in the West. Banff would be a beautiful back drop to a big BBQ! Town Council would be all over it.I'm ashamed of what I did for a Klondike Bar.
-
you and steve are pretty close then! he is in caledon i know i spell't that wrong but you know what i meant!
-
guys if you are interested and want to be contacted for further planning please email me!! so i can get an email data base for it.
my email is mikeb6109@msn.com
please include in the subject canadian fest
and give me you handle and name and your location so i can make sense of all this! -
That's a great idea. Only 2,300 miles for me and about 3,000 for mike

Sorry, bad suggestion. :ohmy:I'm ashamed of what I did for a Klondike Bar.
-
wow, i thought they'd be more passionate about it than everyone else... think of all the publicity and new business an egg fest can generate for them.canuckland
-
I'd go to a Canadian Eggfest for sure!! I've been meaning to get to the one in the Pacific NW but am pretty busy most weekends.
My e-mail is braftey1@gmail.com
Cheers

If you did one in or near Vancouver, I would come.
Gwen/Dimple's Mom -
Count me in Mike and you know my email.
I am sure you can count on the rest of our group that went down to Atlanta as well.
Delaware, Ont. -
Mike,
You just got an email from me. You're right on the US border near Caribou aren't you?
Fishing in Grand lake would make the trip worth a million dollars!
Keep me on the list. -
Why not in Grand Falls NB?! Just up the road for all of us New England travelers!
Dang! Do I have to do all of the work here?!
I'll do Sundown's Manly Chili from scratch so you and stike can watch. No can opener up the sleeve here kid! -
I am in for sure... we are in Waterloo - so anywhere in Ontario works well for us.
I will send you an email...
Thanks and let me know if I can help.
Greg -
I'm in. email me we're working on some ideas down here

Ryan,
You were specifically NOT invited.

-
lol the town would never be the same again!!!
-
Hey Mike, I'm all for it if the timing is right. You've got my e-mail. Also maybe if we all told our dealers about it, word can get out to those who don't necessarily visit this forum.
