So another Month and another 2 new locations.....
This one is going to be a little more difficult.... Because you might not even of heard of these places before... But.........
As I stated before, I want this contest to expand the mind.... Learn something new... And research what you are doing.. And for these next two... I think you will have to do a bit of each....
First I want to tell you why I am picking these locations and why they are so special to me.....
Some of you know that I am planning a trip within the next few months to visit the Country of Canada
for my first time.... In fact .. I am going to be meeting someone from Railbirds, that has a very special place
in my heart.... I am very excited about it and looking forward to it....
So the story goes...............
There is a place called Niagra Falls Ontario Canada... I hear it is suppose to be very romantic and beautiful.
I am looking for some beautiful sights I can look forward to on my trip.... This is where I am planning to spend my first night.... winner will recieve 5 dollars on ft.
Second Location
Another stop in Canada... About one Hr outside of Toronto is a city called Kitchener Ontario Canada.
This one may be a bit more difficult so am willing to pay 10 dollars on FT for the best table....
I know very little about this place except that the population is around 200,000 people, The person I am going to meet lives there, And I would really like to learn as much as I can about it before I go... Maybe some of you can help me out...........
This Contest will run until November 28th.... So that gives you pleanty of time to do some exploring... If this one goes as well as the last...... I will do another after that... And I promise you they will be a bit more easy...
Thank you all for taking the time to make these special tables for me... They will really mean so much to me.... Good luck...

Thank you for another great contest! I did some research on Kitchener, and it is in a really beautiful area! This is my Kitchen table entry. It features the West Montrose Covered Bridge, also known as, "The Kissing Bridge." The background is of Homer Watson Park, on The Grand River. I hope you like it!

You will no doubt get to cross this bridge in Kitchener. It is the Bridgeport Bridge built in 1934 and it crosses the Grand River.

It has come to my attention that the, "Kissing Bridge" however beautiful is not located in Kitchener itself. So, here is a table featuring the Victoria Park Gazebo instead. Sorry for the mishap.
Thanks!
