Never been to Niagara Falls? Well, this is your chance to visit this spectacular wonder AND experience the excitement of the Society's 75th Anniversary with all your barbershop friends all in one trip, at the 75th Annual International 

Convention in Toronto, June 30 through

July 7, 2013. With Niagara Falls only and hour or so away, it's the perfect combination for a couples retreat, or a family vacation!

While you're in Toronto, take in all the sights! For all you non-acrophobics, you can literally "hang out" at the CN Tower, recently nominated one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World, featuring glass floor observation decks and a revolving restaurant. It is rumored that one of our quartets will sing from Edgewalk (pictured) - if they can catch their breath - and you do not want to miss seeing the video afterward. 

This special 75th Convention will feature huge displays of past costumes and other historical artifacts both from the Society and from Districts. Oh, yes and of course you'll enjoy terrific performances from Ringmasters, Ambassadors of Harmony, Lemon Squeezy, Rusty Pipes and more!
