TUGFEST PENETANGUISHENE 2008

Count down to Georgian Bay Tugfest.  Only 18 more days left to the big event.  We would like to thank our platinum sponsor "Merdian Credit Union"  Not only have they sponsored us monetarily, but many of the staff are volunteering to lend a hand with the many events.  We sincerely  appreciate their help.  This is what a small community is all about.

If you have some free time and would like to have a great day by the water, come and join us on Aug 22 & 23.
