Subject: Buses of The Corn 2005- August 5-7th in Brooklin, Ontario
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed
Hi Volks,
Just another heads-up announcement regarding Buses Of The Corn; it's
now only 9 weeks until the best Bus camp-out that Brooklin Ontario
has to offer.
WHERE?
Heber Down Conservation Area Group Camping Site, In Brooklin,
Ontario, just a half-hour East of Toronto. To accomodate more campers
this year we'll be moving to the middle meadow and bringing in
additional "personal comfort stations".
WHEN?
August 5-7th, 2005. Gates open Friday at Noon. The campground isn't
open to the public before that, so if you are looking for
recommendations on local accomodation beforehand please p-mail me.
WHAT'S GOIN ON?
In 2005 we're bringing back all the great activities of past years,
in the same great location as always. There are no "official"
activities for Friday, but we will have the frisbee golf course set
up and there will be a campfire in the evening. Set up camp, relax
and watch the buses roll in. There are hiking and biking trails
nearby and plenty to do within a short drive - See the website for
more local attractions. Saturday will start with a Burrito Breakfast
and build up a strong head of steam with lots of activities...
There's a swap meet and the driving contest for the adults, a balloon
toss, coloring contest and scavenger hunt for the kids, and our Tie-
Dye Workshop is fun for the whole family. After all that there's
still the Corn Roast and pot luck dinner, and the group campfire. The
campfire at 2004 featured an awesome jam-session that we're already
looking forward to repeating. If you play an instrument, please bring
it along to BOTC5.
HOW MUCH WILL IT COST ME?
A Weekend full of Fun is $18CDN until June 30th, or you can pay $25
at the gate.
A "One Night Stand" costs $12CDN until June 30th, or $15 at the gate.
Yes, it's a little more expensive this year, but we're putting the
funds towards a good cause: Additional Industrial-Grade Comfort
Stations will be brought to the campground and the door prize pile
will also be increased. Any and all profits realized after the bills
are paid will go to support www.type2.com. Payment may be sent by
snail mail or paypal, see the website for details
WHAT ABOUT THE BORDER?
Passports are NOT REQUIRED for US Citizens to visit Canada. A birth
certificate and photo ID are all that's required. Last year we had
twelve buses from Seven different states in attendance. BOTC
Ambassador Chris Cybulski is co-ordinating the American Invasion of
2005; contact him if you're interested in joining or forming a
Carabus. (Email macbus@mindspring.com)
T-SHIRTS?
Yes, there will be shirts. More info about that coming soon from our
friends at Suburban Design Core.
