Default Swords and Ploughshares Military Vehicle Rally - Kemptville, ON - July 2 2011

Hi Folks,

I recently opened a paintball field in Kemptville, Ontario, just south of Ottawa and have concentrated in bringing realistic scenario games to the area. In the fall of 2010, after players were asking for yet another D-Day paintball game, I heeded their call and gave them an Ortona scenario game instead. Mike Calnan has been incredibly supportive of our efforts and to that end, he brought out a 6pdr to the Ortona game and fired a blank to start the day off! Needless to say, the players were, ummmm.... blown away?

In return, I've decided to assist Mike in his quest to acquire a building to house the permanent collection of the Swords and Ploughshares Museum. Mike acquired the D-Day Diorama that used to sit in the old Canadian War Museum. Myself and some other modelers plan to restore it, but not until we have a home for it.

Thus, the Swords and Ploughshares Military Vehicle Rally which we will hold on Saturday July 2 2011. On that day the speedball fields at the front of our property will be closed and behind them we will open a field for displaying vehicles. Those exhibiting vehicles will be admitted free and provided with lunch. If they would like to take aim at my staff, we can kit you up with paintball gear. We will be offering space to vendors.

Admission prices will be posted shortly. If you have any questions, please contact me via the website linked in my signature. My telephone number is listed on the site for those that want immediate contact.

Thanks for reading and I hope to see you there!

Cheers!

Dana

P.S. For those that require accommodations, there is a Howard Johnson's literally next door to the field!

Wow! Nice logo. Who did the graphics? Hopefully I will be able to drag my HUP to the event, which is close to it's original Ontario home - The S&P Museum.

That's a riot! Mike said you'd be pleased with it!

I did the logo in CorelDraw. Will probably offer T-Shirts featuring it on CafePress later.

Glad to hear you can make it!

Cheers!

Dana

Yes it sounds like a good day out and if can support that poor misguided gunner Mike, it will be a pleasure. We have a field kitchen available if required. Gilles

Hi Gilles,

Will be great to finally meet you! As far as the kitchen is concerned, we do have a young lady running our snack bar at the moment. She might be interested in the field kitchen though!

Cheers!

Dana
