Tuesday, June 14th: Afternoon Pool Party at Riviera hotel starts well before the start time of 2:00 p. m. and the finish time of 6:00 p. m. It starts at poolside at around at 6am as people start to descend down to the pool to get the spot on the lounge chairs that are made available for the day. Getting your place to watch the event in the glory with your friends of getting a is an event in it self and can only be seen to be believed. The temperature for the day was 100 degrees. The pool party host was Hugo Straney who was brilliant on the day, some people say it was the best every. This year the stage was in a new location at the end of the pool which made for some interesting times. The singing started slowly, as the brave ones started first but as the day went on there was more than enough talented folks to come a sing a song in front of a large crowd.

Wednesday, June 15th: Golf at the Badlands Golf Club was an event of survival by itself. It was a very hot day starting at 82 degrees at at 7am and around 102 degrees by 12:30pm so just surviving was a challenge for each foursome . To say a lot of water and Gatorade was drank would be an understatement. Beer time did not start until the 19th hole and the thirsts were quench at that time. You meet a some great bhoys from other places and my case Alex from LA, and Paul Smith from Scotland and Steve from my club of Bramalea round out the group The high for the day was 106 degrees with not a cloud in sight. Cabaret at the Top of the Riviera |
