GKTW Event: Nova Scotia Meet is a GO! Aug 8-10, 2014

[Applemomma]

How kid friendly will the weekend activities be? I understand the winery probably is not. Are the other things ok to bring children on? The pirate cruise and things? Thanks so much!

Every event is kid friendly, including the winery, which is at lunch time and they have a kid's menu. Click this link which was earlier in this thread http://www.luckettvineyards.com/

The pirate-themed harbour tour may be a bit late for very little ones but we planned all events with the whole family in mind.

It would be awesome if you could make it. Let us know if you have any questions about anything.

The kids will love the phone booth at Luckett's! They can call someone from the middle of the grape field! And it's free! (See the facebook page for pics) Plus we'll have a list of things to explore that day in the Wolfville area - I can even tell you where the kids can go fossil hunting if nothing else appeals to them.

The pirate cruise will only go until about 9:30 so unless your kids are wee ones they might be able to handle that; plus we're encouraging them to dress up so they can get their "Arrrr me hearties" on

The only thing I can think of that the kids might have trouble with is the ghost walk (but my 17 year old has trouble with that too - she says leave me out!).

Hi Folks, crawling out of the apple orchard to join the discussion...just a clarification on the Luckett Lunch! Don't look at their menu! Because we're a big group they will do preorders as we have to pay with one bill; just makes it easier for them at that very busy time of year and much, much faster for us. So, your selections will be -

Lunch Option #1: Panini with a choice of side soup OR salad $17.50 per person
Lunch Option #2: Panini with a side soup AND salad for $20.25 per person

They will also do up a grill cheese Panini for the kids (stay tuned for pricing) and can accommodate gluten free. They will let us know a few days prior to the event what the actual panini options will be. Also, if you are a wine drinker there is sampling at the bar and you can purchase a glass (or bottles to take home) there.

Easiest thing for us would be if you can let us know what your selection will be when you register for our event, and include that amount in your registration payment to Evelyn. And rest assured, your planning team has thoroughly sampled the panini’s and stamped them Disser approved!

Registration is now open for the NS DIS Meet for GKTW!!!!
We have a weekend of fun planned and already some amazing prizes for our main event.
Our host hotel is the Courtyard by Marriott, just ask for the NS DIS meet rate.

All of our events are family friendly and for those who want to channel their inner pirate, we encourage like attire for our harbour cruise on Saturday night. Last year this was non stop laughter.

The team is working very hard now, wading through the piles of prizes! I did have a couple of tickets on hold that are now available if anyone is interested.

FYI the Monday Lunenburg is cancelled as most of our out of town guests leave that day.
