Why Drive to Toronto?

Many thanks to the over 800 people who attended the N.O.S. this year. Many vendors have requested a two day show for 2009. That is now confirmed. Because the Niagara region relies greatly on tourism, many people work weekends. Two days will afford most outdoor enthusiasts an opportunity to enjoy the show.

  • Thanks to Al, Brad, Erich, Jay, Ken and Rob. Once again I tested our friendship.
  • Joe Montgomery, thanks.
  • www.niagarafishing.net thanks, Rick.

Please feel free to e-mail me at wgw@cogeco.ca and let me know what you would like to see at the show in 2009. I'm already trying to expand the scope to include camping, canoeing, and hiking. I will address your requests and concerns with due diligence. See you next year!

Congratulations to Pete Kennington, Joe Rapattoni, Carol Bellows and John Goulding. You have each won a hat, t-shirt, coolerbag (courtesy Molson), a $25 gas voucher (courtesy Petro Canada) and a fillet knife with sheath (courtesy HFB-Gear).

Regards, Bill Whitehead
Organizer, Niagara Outdoor Show
