Itinerary:

Come and celebrate all things Celtic at the annual Celtic Roots Festival in Goderich! Fiddlers, pipers, singers and drummers from Newfoundland to Ireland, Cape Breton to Wales will entertain us, and there will be lots of opportunity to browse stalls selling jewellry and other items incorporating traditional celtic designs. We've booked two campsites (166 and 165) at Point Farms Provincial Park and will enjoy celtic music, good food, and sunshine for the weekend.

Alison's event will be leaving Toronto at lunchtime on Friday, and will return on Sunday evening. Cynthia's event will return on Monday afternoon, so you have a choice of 2 or 3 nights camping.

Note that you MUST attend the joint event pre-trip meeting on Tuesday, July 27 at 7pm at Chalkers (see Calendar postings) as this is where food, camping gear, tent and carpool arrangements will be made. Failure to do so will result in your immediate removal from this event.
