I have found a very nice Bed and Breakfast called the Wingle Inn located in this township and only about 20 minutes from Rally Headquarters in McArthur's Mills which I would like to support for the rally. The B & B has one room (King bed) available for the night of Friday, June 11th in the main complex. The rate is $95/night and includes breakfast. They also have a guest cabin available which has a double bed on the main floor and in the open loft upstairs, a Queen bed and two twins. There is a fridge in the cabin but no cooking is allowed. The rate is $125.00 per night for 2 people and extra people are an additional $20/person/night and this again includes breakfast. If you're interested in booking - call Lu at 1-866-339-9909. The Wingle Inn also does home style Italian cooking dinners for $40 per person and it includes an appetizer, salad, main course and dessert. Reservations are needed so if you're looking for somewhere to get a great meal Friday night - why not check it out. Call the same number above and make a reservation. May 25th, 2010 A quick "heads-up" for those of you who need CARS licenses (either new or renewed) - you will need to take care of this by Tuesday, June 8th at the latest as the CARS office will be closed from that evening on as they (Linda and Terry) will be in Montreal at the Grand Prix.
