Anybody else ever gone to this?  I went last year with a friend and my older son and it was a blast.  Totally amazing to see these things swimming around in the partially iced over creek.  I'll see if I can find some pics!

I went a couple years ago when Little Ray was doing a film! It was awesome being out there with a film crew!!! they brought heaters hahaha so it was wonderful heaters and hot chocolate! couldn't ask for more!!

It is SOOO worth it!!
But be warned - if you fall in the water (this is mostly for kids!) - you are DONE, GO HOME! your night is over! That water is COLD

And the Brigadoon is a great place to warm up and eat

I can't wait till my son is old enough to go!

Yeah, I made the mistake of wearing my winter boots instead of waterproof ones.  Then of course I couldn't see and was compelled to wade in anyway.  It was one cold ride home!

I'd like to go again this year at some point.

Can you believe it, I have lived less than 5 km from the dam in the village of Oxford Mills for 25 years and only my wife and kids have seen this event, when the boys were young students at Oxford Mills Elementary School.
Time to get out and have a look.

Thanks Irene
