WHAT'S NEW

Featured Events

Happy Halloween!

If you weren't here last Saturday night, you missed one of the best events of the season. The entire evening was a blast and the Barn looked amazing. What a way to end the season for 2009.

All we heard that night was this is the best Halloween Party they've ever been to and rivalled the bars downtown Toronto. We may be out in the sticks, but boy do we know how to throw a good party!

A huge thank you goes out to Daniel and Luke for putting this event together. They, along with their team, Tracy, Rob, David, Jas and Murray, coordinated and prepped the Barn for this event. You all did an amazing job and made the place look great. Thank you all very much.

The Maze was fantastic and scared more than a few. Even Jas got Bevan, who thought... [ more ]

Well, we've done it again, another season under our belt. It wasn't one of the greatest seasons weather wise, but we certainly had some good times and great events.

We want to start off tonight by thanking Myrn, Chantal, Stef and Heidi for preparing and doing a great job on the food for tonight. As well as a huge thank you to Laurie and Barb for bringing back the chocolate fountain this year. I know how you all missed it last year, I certainly heard enough about it.

We want to welcome all of our new seasonals for 2009, this was a record year for new additions and just goes to show you Cedars is the place to be. Welcome to Cedars!

As always, there is a list of people to thank for making Cedars Campground what it is today, but understand we thank each and every one of you for being part of Cedars Campground.

And our bar backs Rob & Frank. Thank you for keeping us stocked up!

Quick side note, since we’re talking about the bar. We want to thank Kevin Beech for dedicating his time and his own money for redoing the bar here at the Barn. Thank you Kevin, we... [ more ]

Well I didn't make it to the park this past week end, but from what I can tell I missed a really good show. I mean I have read nothing but great things on the net and heard fantastic reviews from people on Church St. I am sorry to Mona and the performers for not being there and supporting some really good talent from our Women of the Park.

The following is part of an email that I received from Rob the stage manager and his take on the show. Also, from what I have heard he and Les were also thanked a lot from the... [ more ]

They say if you build it they will come, well Chris and Bevan have built it and come they did!

What a fantastic way to end the summer, but also remember that we still have many events left in the 2009 season.

Friday morning when I arrived at the park, the back forty was already filling up with beautiful men and women everywhere. There was a huge number of trailers and motor homes this week end.

Friday we started off the week end with karaoke at the pool bar Splash and a dance at the barn.

Saturday the weather was just getting better and better and what a fun day at the Splash bar. In the evening we had our annual illumination night. I love this event as the seasonals and campers put on such an amazing light and candle show throughout the park. A few friends and I had a... [ more ]

Well, what a great week end that we all just had.

Friday I wondered up to Splash bar where Kendall was playing to a full deck. What a great time everyone was having dancing and singing along with him. After he was finished I wandered over to the Barn where there was a dance going on and again noticed that everyone was having a great time dancing and partying.

The variety show on Saturday night was a huge success; it was one of my favorite shows to do. Les did an amazing job organizing the show and the performers came and did their thing to the delight of a wonderful audience. I am so amazed at the talent in our park. Many thanks also to Chris, David, Michael, Rick and our D.J. Rick for a great job and of course a huge thank you as... [ more ]

Here is the 411! With the weather staying hot, Cedars is the place to be this week-end!!! Cool is the word!! The pool will be cool. You can cool off with a blender drink at Splash, our pool bar, and listen to some cool tunes. And, all the cool kids will be at the annual Variety Show on Saturday night at the Barn (10:00 pm). I have it from a very reliable source that this show is going to be whack!! Rumour has it, that along with the great talent that is in the park, there is one cool act coming in that has performed around the world. Don't miss it!!

And the word to sum up this past week-end at Cedars was? Hot! Hot! Hot! Everyone was feeling the summer vibe on the week-end. Kendal rocked it out Friday night at Splash and this definitely set the mood for the week-end. Splash was packed with seasonals, campers and visitors... [ more ]

I was walking up Church Street on Monday mourning and a friend of mine asked me how my week end was and I said OMG, it was so much fun, I really had a great time. He replied that that is what I say every time he asks me about my week end. I thought about it and well, he is right, the week ends are just so much fun. We really have it going on here at Cedars.

Friday night started the week end off with a huge event, our annual Mr/Ms. Cedars Leather contest and dance. It is the first time we had it on a Friday night and I think that it worked. We were joined in our celebration of leather by Spearhead Toronto and the CCGRA. A huge thank you to Frank the President of Spearhead for hosting the contest. A huge thank you to the contestants. I want to say that some of our lesbian seasonals are in to some heavy leather gear, LOL. And finally a... [ more ]

Wow! Wow! Wow! Summer is finally here. What a totally fantastic week end. And the weather was great the whole way through.

A huge thank you to Troy and Andrew for their Toga Party, although I couldn't attend I did see the pictures on Face book and it looked like a lot of fun.

It was so nice to see so many new faces in the park this week end. Is it me or are they getting younger!

The music at the dance and poolside was well received and we thank our resident D.J. Thunder and Dancing Monkey.

Miss Conception and Teron Blake put on a magnificent show poolside on... [ more ]

Well I have been friends with Les for well over 25 years and I have always respected his talent and creativeness, however, his presentation of the White Ball this year completely blew me away. I know that he had a lot of help from Troy and a crew of many others that helped transform our Barn into a magical Winter Russian Palace. I am sure that I speak for everyone that attended thank you so much to all of you for a great time. It really was a lot of fun.

As I have always said in the past the Cedars to me is a place that is ever evolving and it is what we all make it for ourselves. After the dance I stepped out of my comfort zone yet once again this year and I accepted an invitation to a fire from fellow Cedarites that I have only just said a... [ more ]

Sorry, to all for being very late this week. I have been fighting a cold and I am beating it. Thank God.

Although, I wasn't there as I had to work, I have heard all about the exciting "Underwear Party", and I have it on good sources that the party was a blast. Some really creative outfits and the music and energy were high sort of speaking. I will however be at the next one, you can bet on that.

Creative, top notch, incredible, wow, unbelievable, just some of the words used to describe this year's High Tea, hosted by Michael, Chris and David. It truly was "Wonderland". And a huge acknowledgement to all of their friends that also helped make everyone feel truly comfortable. Way to go all of you.

These two events were highly... [ more ]

Okay, Okay, so we knew that this past week end was going to be a lot of fun and excitement but really my friends and family, it went way beyond expectations. The week end was really a lot of fun. You could feel the energy as soon as your drove into the park. Which I may add looked fabulous. Bevan and Chris and staff, I don't know how you are going to improve but it looks great.

It started on Friday night at the pool bar, Kendall was playing and let me say this about that. I have heard Kendall play many many times through the years and I have to say he was so on Friday night. He truly was in fine form and his voice was so in tune and his selection of music so in tune with the crowd at the bar. There was a group of guys and gals at the end of the patio where he was playing and they were dancing and having a great time. I liked watching as they really were into... [ more ]

Hey there seasonals:

Well, it was a beautiful week end, the weather was finally here and it was really warm during the day but not at night.

The dance on Friday night was really a lot of fun. The dance on Saturday night was a blast it looked like everyone was having fun.

Poolside saw some really nice fun happening during the day.

Thanks to Les, Randy and Greg for putting on a great Wacki Tacki event.

This coming week end should be really fun we are celebrating twenty five years. There will be entertainment by the Drag Kings poolside Saturday afternoon as well as the celebrity dunktank. Later that evening we will have a really big... [ more ]

Kwe' my Cedars Family

A huge success for the first full fun filled week end of entertainment and frivolity and I could tell that everyone really enjoyed themselves.

We at the Red Roof were kept busy all week end making sure that you were all fed with some really fine inexpensive food. The spaghetti dinners went over well and please keep checking on the website under the Red Roof for upcoming specials. I have to say that on Friday night, you know when you all came in at once and sat down for dinner, well, thank you to all of you it was really fun and you all seemed to being having a really good time moving from table to table and just really enjoying everyone there. Sorry to the ones that couldn't get a seat. But it really was a party atmosphere.

Then I guess you all went up to see Kendall at the Barn as it was really fun up there as well so I hear. If you haven't heard Kendal as yet please make sure to catch him the next time he plays at the Cedars he really is one of my favorite... [ more ]

Kwe' M'sit Noogama,

Well, I think that this week end we turned the corner. We didn't have to turn on the fireplace and I didn't see my breath when walking home from Frank and Rob's on Saturday night. Now, it is not as hot as I would like it but I think that we may be on our way. I personally love the really hot humid weather. I mean I like it when it is really hot. During the day I love it especially if I am around the pool. And at night I love it when you are just sitting around visiting with friends. I mean you can always cool down in oh so many ways. We didn't have any of those evenings last summer as the summer weather really sucked but I think that we may be in for some this year.

I had a great week end, and I thank Rob and Frank for a great dinner on Saturday night... [ more ]

Well my Cedar's Family, what a great week end we had. The weather was fantastic and the music on Saturday night was rocking. I meant to dance, but when I wanted to get around to it, well, the dance was over.

I also want to call attention to that rocking Dancing Monkey who rocked the pool bar on Saturday, way to go. And I saw that Mona was totally in her element.

I made my first appearance at the dance on Saturday night and I had a blast. It was great to see Fred and Rob behind the bar.

My fabulous sisters Laurie and Barb made their first appearance as well and it was... [ more ]

Hmmm! I was going to start this post with OMG I have just had a few beers and then I realized that I have said that in the last few posts. Oh well, it is true I have had a few beers and here is an update.

What a great evening I have had tonight, you know sometimes you say I'm just not going to... [ more ]

Okay so here it is the first day of spring and well, just what is on my mind. Well I don't know about you but the upcoming season at Cedars is really on my mind at this point.

Mind you I have just consumed six beers and watched some of the past shows at Cedars and well it just makes me kind of... [ more ]

OMG, it sure has been a very cold winter so far, and a couple months of this still to go. But we can make it, as I sit here in front of my fireplace, smoking a cig and having a cold blue.

Well, I hope that everyone had a great Christmas season, or whatever season anyone celebrates, (far to many to list), it is like the gay... [ more ]
