    Also dermot, Eva and Tad I think brought over two large coffee dispensers with fixin's for the shop. That was mid morning.
     Then John Jr. and I went for sandwiches for all the employees at lunch. I also went to Starbucks an hour or so later and brought another big container of Java with fixin's. We had all the employees buzzing on caffeine for sure.
     Tuffy,Tad Dermot and myself signed the card which we gave John Jr. early in the morning with the donut run. It was clear that the card was from all the forum. Tuffy wrote something and I drew some pics on it.

I just wrote "With heartfelt thanks from the Larrivee forum family" more or less.  They knew that the food, coffee and thank you's were from us all.   I asked around a bit afterwards and I know that they all enjoyed the treats very much and expressed thanks back to us for thinking of them.

  This is John Larrivve when we were on the way to the factory with the sandwiches.

I was not able to get receipts for everything purchased for the employees because some were purchased by others and I would just press some cash into their hands and tell them that the forum had a fund for this. At one point when there was a moment of inactivity I added up around $175 U.S. was spent.
      A five or ten Canadian was given to me in the midst of lots of activities and I was trying to keep track, but frankly though my heart was to account for every cent spent, in the end it became a blur of motion. I do feel however that all the $ were spent that were donated for the Larrivee employees.
      Also I talked to most of them one on one throughout the day and they expressed their thankfulness to us over and over. Which I of course returned from us all.
               It was hectic at times, but it was fun

Thanks much for all your efforts, Danny! You folks did us all proud!

Danny, thanks for the pictures since I missed the momentous event. 

You can buy bear claws in the Great White North, just not at Timmys.

Wow, so much news from the factory tour.   I wish circumstances would have been different and allowed me to make the trip.  Someday......
I'm just now reading about the nice things you all did for the employees at the factory.  Way to go!  That's the stuff that makes this forum so great.  Donuts for all of you!

  Sorry we missed out on meeting you.

The Bearclaws are frosted in powdered sugar if you find them in Canada, aren't they? 

When we moved from Ottawa to Shreveport Louisiana we surprised at how many people really thought we had Polar Bears in the streets.  We just told them that customs would not let us bring our pet Penguin into the states.

Matt,

You just made me laugh, which is a good thing. Yes, polar bears in the streets, it snows 12 months a year and we all live in igloos...right? LOL

Matt,

I always knew you lived in igloos but I never realized it snowed 12 months a year,  well you learn something new every day.

I've set up a thread just to post pictures of the FIII and the tour, so they are all in 1 place.

Bear claws....... they didn't have any.

My memory may be fooling me, but I seem to remember Tim's having bear claws when I was a kid.  Can any of the Canucks on the forum confirm this?

I've really enjoyed reading the posts and seeing the pics that came out of the tour.  I think they really show the great sense of community on this forum and that Larrivee is a special, family business.

i was the one and only Canuck on the donut run.... and nope no bearclaws, not even glimmer of recognition from the Timmy's crew... I'm not Timmy's regular  tho ;-)

d. picked us all up very early and he took all the pictures so he was not in any of the donut run. This was taken by me on the way to Timmy Hortons
