Fall Fling
2008, Port Dover,
Ontario.
Do you know the
way?
This is not just another Xpressions
event but
a growing haven and rendezvous for grrls from
around the region. If you have ever asked
yourself if there was a safe weekend getaway
for CD, TG, TS and alike; If you have ever wished
you could just walk around town and just BE,
be yourself, one of the girls, shop, dress, stroll
the
beach,
DANCE!. Then join us in
Port Dover
this fall.
Both a step back in time and yet
wonderfully
progressive and delightful, Port Dover offers
us
comfortable accommodations, gracious (and affordable)
dinning, a variety of shopping from the delightful
Cottage
North Soap Works, to the curious antique shops
to the
latest fashions indulgences. All this AND we are
invited!
Last year shop owners throughout the town
made us feel
valued by posting signs in their windows
welcoming us and
inviting us in to meet them!
In addition, we have our annual events: The
Ladies Golf Classic(Mini Putt in heels. Go ahead try it!);
acclaimed Port Dover People's Theatre, and of course,
our main attraction, the Erie Beach Beef & Pickerel
Dinner and Dance. There is lots more so check out the
General Agenda (see below).
The phenomenal Celia, is our Hotess (Oops's!
I mean Hostess) and organizer. Once again, with her
creative hand on the whip, helm (sorry), Celia is
organizing a number of additional events which are to be
confirmed.
For further information, please contact
Celia or our
general information hotline.
