2019 to 2024, Canso, Nova Scotia

Since we enjoy doing events to show off our hidden paradise, we joined forces with Canso Area Development Association in 2019 and put together the Lost Shores Thunder Rally. The name changed to Route 16 Thunder Rally in 2022 but the same ‘3 guys and a 6 pack’ were the entire committee. These events raised money for youth minor hockey and figure skating at the Canso Arena,. Held on the Stanfest site in Canso, the events combined weekend camping, bonfires, 2 nights live music, 2 Lions Club breakfasts, poker run, field games and Saturday dinner, all for only $99. The Saturday poker run was a huge parade with families and kids out all along the routes waving to our visitors.

Anyways, after 5 wonderful events it was time to wrap it up as other activities were stretching the volunteers a bit thin. Once again, immense gratitude goes to all the volunteers and sponsors who helped make it all happen.
