Play Buzztime Trivia at the TC

I was so impressed with the response from our guests about the Trivia Pursuit cards we placed on our tables! People have so much fun testing each other ~ its such great family fun.

So I got to thinking ... and that can be dangerous for those of you who know me well ~ many of you are aware that I spent several years consulting before we acquired the TC last September. A consulting life, of course, involves constant travel with stays in many hotels (perhaps that is where the concept of living full time in a hotel was born). Anyway, during these travels, I ran across a place where trivia games were projected onto big screen TVs. Guests created a profile and competed against each other ~ or against people in other restaurants around the world!

Wouldn't that be fun in Dryden? Well ~ come and try it out! Buzztime has arrived at the TC!. Capture your spot in our hall of fame! Win great prizes for playing every day this week at the TC!

Scavenger Hunt

Are you up for adventure? Are you and your friends problem solvers? Can you decipher clues in record time? Can you think on your feet?

Try your skills on the TC Scavenger Hunt. Launching on Saturday May 21st - come to the TC for lunch and register your team. Your team could win TC gift certificates valued at $100, or take home the mystery prize package. That and a whole lot of fun starts at the TC!

Can't make the 21st? We're running it again on the 23rd. All you need is a camera, a cell phone capable of texting, 3 friends, some transportation and your imagination!

Using our technology, you can participate any day until May 31 - then the prize package gets awarded. Don't miss your chance to be the TC Dryden's best scavenger!

The TC Groundhog

What a hoot! It seems we have a new guest at the TC. Actually, I think its a long term guest that we just found out about.

Most of you who have visited the Trans Canada lately know that we have been doing some renovations - fixing up the restaurant and refurbishing some of the rooms. The excess building materials have been collecting all winter in the vacant lot next door, beside the garage.

Its spring - and with it comes spring cleanup! We called the folks at B&M to send us a disposal bin. As we're cleaning up the junk in the side yard, we look over and who do we see watching us - its the groundhog from caddyshack! He's huge, friendly and not at all scared. He's made himself right at home under the sheds and behind the garage. Seems the neighbor knows him well and has been watching his progress.

Tina's been busy cleaning up that area. Saturday afternoon she walks around the corner of the shed. EEEeeeeeeek ... seems she startled the poor little guy. He let out a shriek just like the groundhog on Caddyshack and waddled off into his hole, peeking out again to give her what for.

We know we've got to find him a good home - but he's determined that he's found his home already. Stay tuned for Tina's adventures with the little guy. He's become the talk of the coffee crowd.

Act Your Age?

Have you ever been told to "act your age"? I recall my mom telling me that as a kid - usually when I got WAY out of line. I often criticize MY kids for being nocturnal. Seems they want to go out late, stay up all night and sleep all day.  Maybe they've got it RIGHT?

After all, you're only as old as you feel. Who said you have to eat dinner at 4 and settle down for the night by 8?

Summer is coming - and with it the longer days, sunshine and good times outside. So we're making it easier for you at the TC. Who wants to cook and clean up after a long day of fun?

Come to the TC after 7PM. We've got big screen TVs, a special after 7 menu and a place for you to act half your age! In fact, until May 26, we'll let you eat those words (act my age, my @%*#). Choose anything on our menu totalling up to your age - and only pay half your age! Join the TC VIP club and get more great offers!

Stop by the TC and see what's new. We're changing to serve you better. Meet your friends and family at the TC!
