The Swift Guelph Lake Spring Event - It's More Then Just A Sale

Every Spring, for over twenty years, Bill has been taking his crew down to Guelph Lake for one of the biggest outdoor canoe and kayak sales you can find in Ontario. Stocked with hundreds of boats, from new to used, as well as paddles and paddling accessories, the show has become a popular tradition for many paddling folk - both novice and skilled alike.

But it's not just the boats that make the event so special. It's the people. First off, the Swift Crew (i.e. Bill, Mike, Jon, etc.) are the most fun and knowledgeable that you will ever meet. The atmosphere is very welcoming to everyone, families included. There is even an area for you to "try before you buy" where you are able to test paddle the boats to help you find the right fit for your paddling needs and life style. If you have questions, this is where they will get answered.

It's a Badger Fact: This sale is where Badger® Paddles first launched to the public - and Mike will be there, representing Badger® and Swift Canoe, again this year as he has since the Spring of 2009.

But beyond the sales aspect, The Swift Guelph Lake Sale is just a fun place to be. Smiles abound and laughter is aplenty. It is Spring after all, which may or may not have something to do with the fact that the Swift Spring Guelph Lake Sale is also where Mike and I (Fiona) fell in love over a decade ago! Okay, well maybe not fall in love, but it was the scene of our first kiss! But it is the place where I met and fell in love with my Mattawa. That is how much fun it is, people!

Love is in the air...  must be Spring!

Toronto Boat Show Booth Pictures

We have been posting these photos on our Facebook Fan Page but we thought it would be nice to share them with those who aren't on the popular social network.  The following pictures were taken with Mike's Blackberry (cell phone camera) and aren't the best of quality but we just think it's awesome to get some action shots while the 2010 Toronto Boat Show (TBS) is actually going on!

Setting up the booth space.

The booth looks amazing!

The Swift Crew - the evening before the TBS opening.

Dan explains the quality features of a Badger Canoe Paddle to some TBS show-goers.

People just can't stop feeling our  canoe paddles.  It's a tactile experience!

Two happy TBS show-goers pose for Mike's cell phone camera.  Thanks for the really great picture ladies!

This little "cub" puts a Cub WaterColour to the test.  Kids really gravitate towards our colourful paddles!

After careful consideration, the decision is made.  Green is definitely out and Pink is in - for this little lady!

While this little guy decides the green Cub WaterColour is his perfect choice!

These photos were all shot within proximity of or in the Swift Canoe & Kayak Booth.  Sure looks like fun doesn't it?!!

Go check it out...

The show doesn't end until January 17th!
