| | St Jacobs Day TripPage 1 of 2 (1, 2) | | I was thinking of organizing a day trip to St Jacobs from Toronto. We would pick a central location to meet and convoy down. People who are not in the Toronto area could always just join us down there. We would need people with cars who would be willing to take passengers. Was just wondering if there would be any interest. Any thoughts on this? | |

| St Jacobs Day Trip Posted: 3/18/2008 7:56:05 AM | | I would meet you guys there for sure. I love it there but Kitchna is right..watch out for the mud if it isnt full blown spring yet! | |
|
| St Jacobs Day Trip Posted: 3/19/2008 3:53:42 PM | | Well it looks like there is some interest so I will have to start planing something. It will be on a Saturday since the farmer's market is not open on the Sunday. | |
|
| St Jacobs Day Trip Posted: 3/19/2008 5:44:28 PM | | Wow, count me in, I just love to visit small tourist towns and see what their shops have, especially the markets. | |
|
| St Jacobs Day Trip Posted: 3/21/2008 11:50:22 AM | If you do go to the farmers market there you have got to stand in line at "the apple fritter company"if you like apple fritters you most definately won't be dissipointed...one more note there is ussually a sale twice a year of "exotic animals" There should be one coming up in the next few weeks ...maybe check with management at OLEX,if I find out from my friend I will let you know what date it is ...it's just another interesting thing to see...good luck ...all I may be interested in going also and would be willing to drive | |

| |
| St Jacobs Day Trip Posted: 3/21/2008 3:30:04 PM | I'm in. I have never been there but I hear it is really something to see. I could also
take passengers if needed. Then again if you go in the spring I'll take the bike. | |
|
| St Jacobs Day Trip Posted: 3/21/2008 4:21:50 PM | Definte interest here!! Shopping, eating, drinking, all of it is fun especially with good people  | |
|

|
| St Jacobs Day Trip Posted: 3/22/2008 12:23:03 PM | | Looks like there's a lot more interest than I thought there would be. This all came about because I have a few friend's who have never been (yes Angel Eyes, one of them would be you) and I thought why not see if any others on POF would be interested. Look for a thread coming soon. | |
|
| St Jacobs Day Trip Posted: 3/22/2008 9:45:21 PM | sounds good BBF. hopefully it won't be in April cause my saturdays are tied up for that month

| St Jacobs Day Trip Posted: 3/22/2008 11:44:42 PM | Never really knew how big a deal this town is. I live here.. and love it.. for different reasons. Still a small town, great people, and slow pace. Love it.
Great little italian bakery there as well.
Someone email me if you guys come.. I don't follow the threads well, but the email here would be fine... Not really interested in shopping in the boutiques, but if coffee is to follow, I'd be down for it. :) | |
|
| St Jacobs Day Trip Posted: 3/23/2008 11:07:14 AM | | @ Rox...yup the silo is cool....I think that is where I stood mesmerized watching them make peanut-brittle one time......mmmmmmmmmmmmm | |
|
| St Jacobs Day Trip Posted: 3/23/2008 9:04:39 PM | mmmmmmmmmm.....is right.
Apple fritters....peanut brittle.....and coffee. Sounds like I’ll need to spend a week there. This is more than a road trip. It’s a shopping spree and Food Festival rolled into one
mmmmmmmmmmm……food.....shopping
Thanks BBF for thinking about us. Let me know if you need any help with the plans

| St Jacobs Day Trip Posted: 3/24/2008 4:41:56 AM | ^^^^^^^^don't forget about those awesome Pita's they have there also

*keeps her fingers and toes crossed* I was actually thinking about April as it was pre-ball playing season for me but since you were one of the original peeps I was thinking about when I thought about doing this, I will look at a weekend in May...may have to cancel out of playing a tourney but that's the kind of thing you do for friends.  | |
|
| St Jacobs Day Trip Posted: 3/24/2008 5:47:36 PM | | i love that place, comming from a small town we dont see that kind of thing, ive only been there twice but both times there werent enough hours in the day to check out everything. theres a furniture place right near there and they have some amazing craftmens building them, hope to head there this summer with my boys and get some of that great cooking................ps.........bring lots of cash | |

BBF.......you are just the bestest ever girlfriend. i'm starting my swimming lessons soon which scares the heck out of me but i need to do this and i appreciate you trying to accommodate me
i'm sure this road trip will be such a success that you may have to plan a second one later in the summer when you're not busy
cash......yes i'll have to make sure i have lots of that
