I doubt that any of you have heard of the Port Dover Friday the 13th ride. Port Dover is on the north shore of Lake Erie about 2 hours, including the border crossing, from Niagara Falls, NY. It has been going on since 1981 rain, hail, snow, or shine, no matter when Friday the 13th comes in the year.

Here it is through the eyes of Rick Mercer, who is kind of our Newfie version of Jon Stewart.

I think I've seen a few of those characters when I was there last year! I know I remember the zebra lady

Been twice, myself. I actually prefer the place any time other than Friday the 13th and have been there a dozen or more times when the streets were empty.

One of the founders is a long-time member of another board that I'm on, and is in that video.
