Winter has arrived

Winter has arrived

As you can see, winter has arrived here in the North Country.  The lakes are not frozen yet but some bays have iced over and the snow sure is staying.  Areas around Haliburton got 35cm+ of snow today alone!  We currently have about 6″ of fluffy snow on the ground.  We hope that it will stay and be a white Christmas!  Battling high winds, blowing snow and icy boat launches, we pulled the last boat from Gold lake tonight.  On to snowmobiles we go…Give Sally a call or email to make arrangements to get your winter toys out and ready for whenever conditions allow for their use.

If there is anything that you would like done to put a gift under the tree for family or friends, give us a call or email.  We can do tools, winter or summer toys and even a gift card for your favourite loved one.

14 days until the big guy in the red suit shows up.  Hope everyone is enjoying the season and having a safe and happy winter so far!

We’re back!!! (I hope)…
Sorry its been so long since our last update.  The end of summer was quite busy and it has continued through the fall.  We hope all the kids (big and little) got back to school and are enjoying it so far.  The colours this fall came and went fairly quickly, but some stuck around for Thanksgiving.  It was great to see so many people up and enjoying the unusually warm weather for this time of year last weekend!  The water levels this year have stayed really quite high but have been slowly dropping away.  We picked up a ton of boats this week and have a list going already for next week.  If you’d like us to come and get your toys just let one of the girls in the store know or send us an email and they’ll add you to the list.
Our hours right now are Monday to Saturday from 9am-5pm.  We are now CLOSED on Sundays until snowmobile trails open.

We’re getting back on track with keeping the website updated so keep checking back for snowmobiles that will be coming up for sale.

Finally, today we are wishing Luke a VERY happy birthday and many more to come.  Have a great weekend!

Hard to believe it is the middle of August already!

The fireworks on the long weekend were awesome as always, as was the boat show leaving Gold!  A huge thank you to Rick Asling for organizing this night once again and to all of the cottagers and businesses who generously made contributions to the display!

The water has started to drop in the past week or two so be careful when you’re out playing of those nasty rocks that always seem to move each year.
The girls have been busy writing up storage contracts so if you know when you would like your toys to go away for another season give us a call or email and we’ll take care of it for you.

Storm cleanup is still happening in a big way.  There was a lot of damage and lots of trees lost.  If you’re not sure about getting a tree down there are a few businesses in the area that will take care of them for you.  Although most power has been restored (as far as we know), many people are still without phones. It is supposed to be a beautiful weekend so hopefully we’ll see everyone out enjoying the sun and the last couple weeks before the kids head back to school.
