How can you beat a town with one street (so we don't get lost), a couple of classic bars - the Frontier, the Riverside - and who knows what other mischief?

After a year on the lam (we admit to nothing), we're heading back to Drayton Harbor to lend our unique brand of roaming entertainment to the festival grounds and if a tall ship is in town, steal away on her. Perhaps we'll even see the George Raft Race finally.
