Get Ready for Choose Your Own Adventure Activities

Tuesday evening is always a fun time at Latornell and this year will be no different. New activities are also being offered this year.

You can join Barnstormer Brewing & Distilling to learn a little bit about the Ontario craft beer industry and sample 8 interesting and unique craft beers. Pre-registration is required. Don't delay in getting your tickets for the Latornell Brewmaster Session with Barnstormer Brewery as we only have a limited number available. Tickets are also available at the Registration Desk.

You can also pull up a seat fireside and enjoy roasted marshmallows for Traditional Bonfire Storytelling with Brian Charles of the Chippewas of Georgina Island. Using replica wampum belts in this special presentation, Brian will illuminate a path that not only interconnects the nations and histories of First Peoples in the Eastern Woodland, but also of settler societies in Canada.

We also have old favorites, like Mingling with Exhibitors, the Jungle Quest Team Mini-Golf Tournament, where your golf skills are put to the test, and the Latornell After Party (The LAP!) where you can enjoy music, play card and board games, and have plenty of fun. More information on all the Choose Your Own Adventure activities can be found on the Latornell website.
