🍁 **Fall Niagara Falls Hiking Trip** 🌦️ **Rain or Shine!** The adventure goes on — whether it’s golden sunshine, crisp autumn air, or a little mist from the Falls (it *is* Niagara, after all!). \*\*\* 🥾 **About the Trip** Let’s escape the city for a full fall day of fresh air, friendship, and breathtaking scenery! We’ll explore the *natural* side of Niagara Falls — less tourist traps, more trails, trees, and pure wonder. We’ll meet outside the **Fairmont Royal York (Front St. W)** in the morning, hop on the **GO Train**, and head to **Niagara Glen Nature Reserve** for an afternoon hike among ancient boulders and the turquoise waters of the Niagara River. This hike includes stairs (about three flights) and uneven terrain — so bring your comfy hiking shoes or sturdy runners (flip-flops will cry). \*\*\* 🌲 **The Trail Experience** The Niagara Glen is a hidden gem — carved out of the gorge thousands of years ago. We’ll follow winding forest paths, stop for photos, and take in the beauty of fall leaves glowing against the mighty river. It’s about 4 km total, with lots of opportunities to pause, chat, and soak in the view. ⚠️🥾 **IMPORTANT: HIKE EXPECTATIONS – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY** 🥾⚠️ This is a **real hiking trail**, not a casual walk. You need to arrive knowing you can: ✔️ Walk for an extended period of time ✔️ Handle uneven terrain and elevation (including the climb back up) ✔️ Keep a steady group pace without frequent stops This is **not the time to test your fitness level** or “see how it goes.” If you are unsure whether you can complete the hike, please sit this one out. 👉 If someone is unable to keep up, they may be asked to turn back or continue at their own pace. The group will not be stopping or slowing down significantly, as it impacts the experience for everyone. This is about keeping the group safe, on track, and enjoyable for all. \*\*\* 🍔 **Dinner & Cozy Evening** After the hike, we’ll head to **Chuck’s Roadhouse** on Clifton Hill for a relaxed dinner (everyone pays for their own meal). It’s friendly, affordable, and always buzzing after a big day outdoors. **Please Note -** This place is not the most vegetarian friendly place. If you will not be joining us because of that reason. Please let me know as will be trying to make reservations. This should not be something you tell me lat minute. \*\*\* 🎇 **Niagara Falls** After dinner, we’ll stroll down to the Falls and enjoy the rolling sound of the majestic falls. \*\*\* 💲 **Meetup Fee:** 💵 **$5 cash at the event** *or* 📲 **E-transfer anytime (before or on the day)** to \*\*[mathewmaclean@hotmail.com**](http://mathewmaclean@hotmail.com%2A%2A/) (You can pay either way — easy!) \*\*\* 🚆 **TRANSPORTATION REQUIREMENT** To keep things simple and organized: 👉 **Only those traveling together on the GO Train with the group will be able to participate.** We will not be meeting people at Niagara Falls. This helps avoid confusion, delays, and coordination issues, and keeps the group moving smoothly from start to finish. 🚆 **Travel Details (approximate)** * **8:15 AM** – Meet at the main doors of the Fairmont Royal York (Front St. W). I’ll be wearing my *Moose Hat!* 🫎 * **8:30 AM** – Depart * **9:03 AM** – GO Train to Niagara Falls * **11:25 AM** – Arrive at Niagara Falls * **12:30 PM** – Start hike at Niagara Glen * **4:30 PM** – Dinner at Chuck’s Roadhouse * **6:00 PM** – Walk Down to the Falls * **8:00–9:00 PM** – Return train to Toronto *GO schedules may shift slightly — I’ll update the group closer to the date.* \*\*\* 🎟️ **Tickets & Gear** Please purchase the **GO + WEGO Combo Ticket (round trip $20)** before the trip you can buy this one day before. 👉 [CLICK HERE to buy your pass](https://www.niagaraparks.com/visit-niagara-parks/plan-your-visit/deals-toronto/) Bring: 🥾 Comfortable shoes or boots 💧 Water & snacks 📸 Camera or charged phone (you’ll want photos!) \*\*\* 📲 **Join Our WhatsApp Group:**[ Click here to join](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DRFTkxRlHS4B3IL1lMleUd) \*\*\* ⚠️ **Important Notes** This is a full, active day — lots of walking, laughing, and exploring.

**A Saturday morning gathering over Coffee & Book discussion.** *Please **bring** either a **book** you really like or something you haven't read but have been curious about. No need to prepare anything!* **We will meet at the Boxcar Social cafe in Summerhill at 11am,** and I will arrive a few min early to make sure I'm there to greet you. Will be wearing blue so you can easily identify me! This event may especially resonate with people who enjoy reflective conversation. Please kindly RSVP only if you genuinely plan to attend and change your RSVP if your plans change.

Early-bird coffee and conversation at [Crimson Cup Coffee Shop - Clintonville](https://www.crimsoncup.com/about/location/clintonville)!

**Local Cantina -** We'll shut down wine club at 8 pm this evening and take a short walk to our neighborhood Tex-Mex eatery - Local Cantina. Join us after wine club for a snack or meal. Please RSVP early AND Please let me know in the comments if you plan to join us after at the diner so I can have accurate numbers for the reservations. **On Freestyle night** \- just bring a bottle to share\. There is NO formal wine tasting like on other weeks\. Door charge is $10 \(cash or Venmo only please\)\. We may have some left over wines to clear out\! Glasses are provided\. Take Care\. See you there\. **Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby. I am told that the Chase parking lot is safe after hours. **Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the EMPTY glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please do not make me hunt down your empty glass. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass! **Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing. **Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions. Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends. Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***, **Red 1 Realty** *Your Hilliard Wine Club Host*

**Summary** We will play TV-style game shows at [Game Show Battle Rooms](https://gameshowbattlerooms.com/columbus/) ("GSBR"). These will include *Family Feud*, *Wheel of Fortune*, and *The Price is Right*, and we will play them over the course of an hour. We ran this event for the second time back in October, and it was an even bigger hit than it was the first time we ran it the February prior. GSBR has nearly 10,000 reviews on Google and a 5-star rating. If there were any event where you were just about guaranteed to have a good time, it's this one. GSBR changes their questions and answers every month, so if you attended in October (or even if you went with another group as recently as April), you will not see any of the same questions you saw before. **The Date and Time of This Event** Saturday, June 27, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. However, if someone books the 3:00 p.m. time before I do (meaning before I have enough paid attendees), well, that's the way the cookie crumbles and we'll have to move to Plan B. That might involve trying for either one of GSBR's 1:30 p.m. or 4:30 p.m. slots, or just cancelling the Meetup altogether. We'll cross that bridge if we get to it, but be aware of these possibilities. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to whatever our actual showtime ends up being. (Hence, this meetup's 2:45 p.m. start time.) **Cost** The cost to play, per person, is $36.95 plus 8% sales tax of $2.96, plus a refundable 8% gratuity of $2.96 (see the next section for more details), for a total cost of $42.86 per person. **Mandatory Gratuity (If 20+ Participants)** If we have 20 or more participants in this event, GSBR will assess a mandatory gratuity of 8%, or $2.96 per person. If we have 20 or more attendees, GSBR will give our group an extra 15 minutes of playing time. I am collecting the gratuity up-front to prepare for the case in which we have at least 20 people. However, in the event that we do not, I will refund this $2.96 to you. In the event we have fewer than 20 people and your gratuity is refunded, your cost for the event will end up being $39.91 (instead of $42.86). I will say more below on the actual exchange of money for this event. **Drinks** GSBR does allow beverages into the game room, and they also sell some on-site. These include bottled water, soft drinks, and some alcoholic beverages. You can bring your own bottled water, too, if you want. **Cancellations and Refunds** Per GSBR's [website](https://gameshowbattlerooms.com/questions/): *If you cancel your show 5 or more days in advance of your booking time, you will receive a full refund.* *You may reduce the number of tickets and receive a refund if you provide at least 5-days’ notice.* More on this in a moment. **Number of Participants** GSBR does not run events for fewer than 6 people. I will not purchase tickets for this event with fewer than 10 paid, and I will not send out a solicitation for money without at least 12 signed up for this Meetup. More on this below. **The Actual Exchange of Money** Tickets for GSBR events are not purchased piecemeal. I will need to book our GSBR event as a bloc. This means that everyone will need to send me his or her entrance fee via either Venmo or Paypal prior to me booking our time. Anyone failing to send me his or her money will be removed by me from this event. Once 12+ people are signed up here for this Meetup, I will send out a DM through the Meetup messaging system to those 12+ participants with my Venmo/Paypal information. You will then have 72 hours to wire me your share of the money. After 72 hours, if I don't have money from you, I'll remove you from event. If I don't have money from at least 10 people, I'll refund everyone's money, and we'll either re-start the process or I'll just cancel the event. I'm not going to book any event with GSBR unless I'm reasonably certain we're going to be able to run it. Assuming I have money from 10+ people, then I will book the event through GSBR's website. If you decide to cancel and you want a refund, you ***must*** give me time to contact GSBR with at least 5 days notice. Since the date of this event is Saturday, June 27, you have to let me know not later than Sunday, June 21, to allow me time to call GSBR not later than Monday, June 22, in order to get a refund for your share. Once I have confirmation from GSBR for the refund, I will Venmo/Paypal the money back to you immediately from my account. (There will probably be a 3-5 day delay before GSBR actually processes the refund, but I will absorb the cost of the float and get your money back to you right away.) **"Hey, Eric! I just saw this event! Can I sign up late?"** Yes, but you still need to Venmo/Paypal your share of the booking fee to me, which will be $40.55. If I don't get it within 72 hours after you sign up (or time permitting for me to book you in with GSBR if you sign up last-minute), then I'll remove you from the event. **Mandatory GSBR Waiver Requirement** GSBR policies *require* that each attendee signs a liability waiver prior to the event. You can find the waiver [here](https://gameshowbattlerooms.com/questions/) (on the right-hand side toward the bottom of the page under the section "Do I Need To Sign A Waiver Form?"), and you should also be able to skip directly to the form [here](https://waiver.smartwaiver.com/w/5c473bb934d6a/web/). *You must fill out this waver in order to participate in the event*. The form is short and this really shouldn't take you more than 2 minutes, but please send me a DM if you have any issues filling out the document. **Denouement** Afterward, for those who are interested, we'll drown our sorrows or celebrate our exultations at [Crooked Can Brewing](https://crookedcanohio.com/) in Hilliard. They also have extensive food options. The actual address of the brewery is [5354 Center St, 43026](https://www.google.com/maps/place/5354+Center+St,+Hilliard,+OH+43026/@40.0339813,-83.1623519,17.25z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x883893f9f30108a7:0xbe4c8919aa69e3e7!8m2!3d40.0344541!4d-83.1598828!16s%2Fg%2F11gxsh9f_0?entry=ttu).
