Benmiller and Saltford Thanksgiving 2011

On Thanksgiving weekend 2011 I travelled to Goderich Ontario. On a drive through the countyside on October 9th, we took a walk through some forested areas. Here are a few of the pictures I grabbed on the trip. Enjoy!

I traveled to Goderich, Ontario on Thankgiving weekend (Oct 9, 2011) for some turkey dinner and family. Just the past week, the Goderich Opera House was demolished (conveniently just in time for the Out Of The Storm benefit concert), leaving nothing more than a pile of rubble.

Here are a few photos of the wreckage.

Before I get to the review, I’d like to thank the John Labatt Centre, who so graciously provided me with a pair of VIP tickets to the show, vouchers to cover a round of drinks, and the opportunity to share my experiences with the online community. The concert made for a night that I will never forget.

Tickets and drink vouchers provided by the JLC (plus one of my own).


Pre-Show

Tiesto is a bit of an idol amongst those I associate with, so on the night of September 17th I certainly wasn’t the only person headed to see the show at the JLC. What better way to prepare then to get everyone together, get dressed up, and head to the show as a group?

My Trip to Goderich, Ontario – One Month after F3 Tornado.

 

For those of you not aware, I grew up in the town of Goderich, Ontario. On the afternoon of August 21, 2011, an F3 tornado touched down and ripped right through the center of town.

My grandparents lost their truck and suffered some damage to their property but they were fine as well.
