odds and ends

The RSVPs are beginning to roll in, so I feel its time to get folks thinking about what to pack. The entire wedding will be outdoors, provided the weather is cooperative. June in Dawson is generally quite warm during the day, averaging around 20C during the day, down to 10C or lower at night. A light sweater or cardigan will come in handy, as will short sleeves. Ladies, I would recommend wearing flats as the affair will largely take place on a lawn. Although I am sure my dad would probably appreciate you aerating the grass, you will want to be able to move freely. Anyone planning to stay overnight or party until the wee hours might consider bringing a change of clothes to maximize comfort and stamina.

In case you didn't know, or in case I haven't mentioned it, the sun will not be setting. Dawsonites will be used to this effect and prepared to party long into the 22nd, guests from afar will probably want to try and get a good solid sleep the night before.

There will be no cost for booze or food, so don't be concerned about stocking up on cash before heading out of Dawson for the day.

If you are planning on joining my dad for the epic canoe trip or any camping of your own you will need some good shoes, probably a hat and sunglasses, sandals and a sleeping bag. As far as the canoe trip goes, we are happy to round up tents, canoes, life jackets, dishes, utensils, bug repellent, sunscreen etc.

I would also like to get some info regarding people's dietary needs. Allergies? Vegetarian? Let me know. The sooner we know the more we can do to ensure you get enough to eat.
