Parasailing and Medieval Times Dinner
Parasail over beautiful Lake Ontario for some picturesque views! Private boat holds up to 10 people but if we have more they will add a second boat. You may parasail single, double or triple depending on weights and this will be decided by the boat captain. You do not need to get wet/go in the water but may request they dip you in at the end. This is a more calm adventure than most people think. It’s very peaceful up there.
Please note: start time is approximate. We may go slightly before or slightly after depending on how many people we get. We need to be off the water by 3pm sharp for our second adventure, dinner at Medieval Times dinner theatre. Watch knights on horseback jousting and competing for first place. Dinner is at 4pm.
Join us for one or both adventures.
Parasailing $66 US
Medieval times dinner $67 US
If we get a large enough group and group rates kick in you may get a small refund. If you have food allergies please message me as they can accommodate.
Payment via Venmo to adventureD777.
Non-refundable unless cancelled by tour company.
All events at your own risk. Meetup hosts not liable for injuries/damages.

CANOE TRIP 2/26, CANADA DAY AT SPIDER LAKE, SUN. JUN. 28 - WED. JUL. 1st
This is an easy trip in The Massassauga Provincial Park, where we had a great time last Thanksgiving.
Our campsite and parking spaces are guaranteed, on the busiest week of the season, but we are limited to nine people, and the cost for the weekend is $17 per person plus $10 to park each car.
Our campsite, number 21, is on a high rock point, open to the breezes on three sides, to keep down the bugs. It has a table, fire pit, thunder box, and good swimming off the rock. The surrounding shoreline is dry and solid.
Spider Lake is broken into many bays. It is inland, and protected from the winds off Georgian Bay. There are no cottages or power boats. This will be a cool place to spend a hot Canada Day Weekend.
One portage: 370 m., gentle rise 10 m. in the center.
Paddle distance, total: 7 km.
Driving distance from Hwy 400 & Hwy 7: 202 km., 2 hours.
Traffic on Hwy 400 should be fast on Sun. morning.
**LCATION:**
**Massassauga Provincial Park Access Point**
**Three Legged Lake Road**
**45.26379072549102, -80.00827766607452**
There is space right at the lakeshore to unload your canoe, then move your car to the big parking lot 280 m. up the road.
**SPREAD SHEET:**
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RUbAOQrpmLz_P7J2lgvKYLPLNE6rVddygG_cjaM64eg/edit?usp=sharing
This is an operating provincial park, so we have to report the name of everyone who is going, and pay to park cars. Please fill out the spread sheet, and phone me with the make, model, and plate number of your car.

Speak Easy (Storytelling)
The topic for July is "Shoes"
Speak Easy: true stories, told live.
The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast.
Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect.
The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
