Plenty of clouds around, and lots of thunderstorms predicted, but not a drop of rain as of noon time Thursday. The temperature should start to fall soon. Hard to believe that by Saturday it is predicted to have a high only in the low tees. In the mean time, the lake water has warmed back up to mid-July readings, and skiers and tubers are enjoying the late season heat wave. Glass clam water today is adding to the water sports fun.
There was a cancellation for one of the housekeeping cabins with full bath for this weekend. So there is now a cabin available for Saturday and Sunday night. Give us a call at 613-474-2144 ext. 1 to book it.
The chef is being given a chance to put on her creative side for the evening of September 25th. Limerick Lodge, in conjunction with Harvest Hastings, is accepting reservations for an autumn dinner consisting of as many local foods as she can find. Dinner is $16 plus gratuity, and is limited to the first 18 people. September 25th is the first day of the Bancroft area studio tour. (more details on the below) Spend the day enjoying the studios, then return to the lake for dinner and an evening with friends. Perhaps a few ping pong matches will break out after dinner. Call, e-mail, or stop by the store to make your reservation.
Reservations for rooms, cabins, campsites, and boats for the remainder of the season can be made by phone, e-mail, or on-line through the website. There are still some weekend vacancies in September. There are also great rates on weekday cabin and boat rentals during September and October. Stay and fish for as little as $58 a day per person INCLUDING a rental boat. Not a fisherman? A large parking lot and easy access to the trails network make this an ideal place to ATV or otherwise make use of the trails from. Trail passes are available in the marina store.
Limerick Lodge will be open for winter activities from February 10th through March 14th. Plan a winter trip to enjoy cross country skiing, snow shoeing, sleigh rides, sled dog races, winter photography, or a myriad of other activities in the area this coming winter.
The Bancroft area fall studio tour is being held the weekends of September 25-26 and October 2-3. With Bancroft having been voted Ontario’s most talented town, the creativity of some of the artists on the tour is world class. This is a great opportunity to see their work in their own studios, along with enjoying the bright, autumn foliage that time of year.
This is a good time to stop by the store and make winter storage arrangements. Shrink wrapping is $16 a foot, and is well worth it. In 3 seasons of wrapping boats, everyone of them has opened in the spring without a spot of mildew or any other damage.
On the Trident subdivision matter, the Trident engineers recently provided many new pages of maps, charts, and documents. The sub-division agreement may be before Council for approval this Tuesday evening. Updates will be posted as information is received.
