Anyone heading up to the Park this weekend for Loggers Day? Hoping to head up that way with my two kiddies and that Markus fella... We were there 2 years ago and loved it.


Saturday July 25 Loggers Day

10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Loggers Day at the Algonquin Logging Museum, at km 54.5

Admission is a minimum donation of $1 per person.

Join us for a highly entertaining and educational day at the Algonquin Logging Museum (near the East Gate).
Enjoy the Wakami Wailers as they sing shanty songs; take in the demonstrations around the Logging Museum
trail; and why not try the old-time loggers lunch ($7 per person) served in the sawlog cookery from noon to 2:00
p.m. (or while quantities last).

I'm planning on being there, I went a couple years ago too, I didn't make it last year.

Well, Markus, my 2 kiddies and I will be there tomorrow... hoping for a really good day.... They are saying it will not be raining till lunch time, so that gives a couple hours at least.

it will be loggers day at mt house july 25th

So Markus showed up at my place 7am on Sat morning and we headed up to the Logging Museum. We arrived at 10:30 and had a good day seeing the exhibits. People like Ron Tozer were on hand to give explanations / demonstrations on how things were done 'back in the day'. We enjoyed listening to the Wakami Wailers a couple times and also had a great 'Loggers Lunch" of beans, fried potatoes, fried bologna, coleslaw, cookies and butter tarts... mmmmm...

After we left the museum, we had time to hike the Beaver Pond Trail. We were about 1/3 of the way along when the skies opened up for about a 2 minute drenching. Once it stopped, we were soaked, but continued on without further rain.

We finished the trail and headed over to The Mad Musher for a quick beverage (and desserts for the kiddies) and to meet Steve (who was also at Loggers Day). He showed us around the place and we had a good chat. Nice to meet another AA'er.

The drive home was interlaced with sporadic showers ranging from sprinkles to hard downpours. There was a nice hour of quiet as my three passengers dozed off after a day of good fun.

Took some photos and will post them here when I get a few minutes, as I am sure will Markus.

To those that debated going and didn't, you missed a good day. To those that were not able to make it, make plans to go next year.
