:( Unfortunately the Hanhams are leaving Saturday morning. If anyone would like our cottage through to Monday, we'd be happy to make it available!

Dance the night away!

Sherkston Shores has entertainment in the evening. The line up inludes:

Monday: Katch 22 (All the best classics from yester year!)
Tuesday:Team Show (Sherkston's Funstars perform an amazing variety show!)
Friday: LMT Connection (You'll dance the night away!)

Sherkzilla!

What do you call a water slide 12 metres high and 52.5 metres long? Sherkzilla just about says it all.

The new attraction at Sherkston Shores is an inflatable slide that weighs about 1,800 kilograms.

“This is the largest inflatable water slide in Canada,” the owner said. “It is going to make a very nice addition to the resort.”

The slide is so large that it has space provided for four concession booths. Pizza Pizza will operate an outlet from the slide.

Wayne's famous hamburgers

I found this nice sunset photo which makes me think of beach sunsets at Sherkston. Just to let everyone know that Wayne (with Amber's help) is making up batches of his famous hamburgers for our family reunion and everyone is invited to the Mahon's cottage for a BBQ on Wednesday night!

Acommodations

If you don't yet have a place to stay, Heather recommends the Holiday Inn in Fort Erie. She says it is very nice and is located right next to the YMCA which has a pool and hot tub and is just a short drive to Sherkston. The hotel is located at 1485 Garrison Rd (Phone # 1-888-269-5550 and web site address is http://www.holidayinn.com/).

To Market to market!

For those who love to go to a great Farmer's Market, there will be a group of us going into Port on Friday morning (after coffee...). Let us know if you need a ride...dinner on Friday night will feature what we find in the market!
