Pike Lake

Pike Lake, which may or may not be a real lake, is the name of a popular men's spiel that our gals are getting organised to play in this coming weekend. It is held in Harriston, Ontario, which is somewhere in the middle of my road map where I have a coffee stain but seems to be straight west of Shelburne, (Fiddle Town, home of the Fiddle Championships) and straight south of Owen Sound which is home to the Chi Chi Mon. Surprisingly, the Chi Chi Mon has no connection to a song by Rastafarian Rapper TOK, ( TOK - Chi Chi Man ... Chorus: From dem a par inna chi chi man car Blaze di fire mek we bun dem! (Bun dem!) From dem a drink inna chi chi man bar) but is actually a ferry, [no wings], that ties Manitoulin Island to the mainland in the warm water season.

Not much of this has anything to do with the upcoming event, which you can reach through the Link on this post, but it is a slow, rainy day and we are in a bit of a lull while we make ready for the main event coming up in just 18 days in beautiful downtown Halifax. Seriously though, the Pike Lake spiel attracts a lot of good teams and our ladies should be able to find some great competition as they continue their tune up regimen and they may also get a chance to work on their dance moves at the Sock Hop which I am sure is one of the highlights of the event.

Now you have the link, the dates and the location and you have also learned something new, I mean, who knew where Buckwheat learned to talk like that?

We will report on the scores and outcome of the Pike Lake Classic as we get the information.
