This is the final Itinerary for Spyderquest. We had to make a switch to the ride days, so please be aware of these important changes. Tickets for the Whiteface ride, Ft Ticonderoga ride and the Dinner cruise, will be in your registration packet and must be on your person when these events take place. The Dinner Cruise ticket is extremely important because your ticket can not be reprinted if you lose it.

Website----------> http://www.lakegeorgervpark.com/
Time: Registration opens at 2pm
Please wear your name tag located in your registration packet during this opening event. This will get you the BBQ and a bingo card later in the day. Your Spyderlovers handle (if you have one) will also be printed on the name tag to make it easier breaking the ice talking with old friends you may have never met.
BBQ will be served from 3pm-6pm We have decided to serve this BBQ as an eat when you're hungry, and will be cooking in small batches so nobody will be standing in a long line. This way will also be easier for our small staff to cook. Please feel free to use the parks amenities during this time, but please be back at the pavilion by 6pm.
6PM We will be gearing up to give away thousands of dollars in prizes during Farkle bingo. With every paid registration you will receive a bingo card for a chance to win these amazing prizes. If you want to increase your chances of winning, extra cards will be available for purchase. We will also be doing a 50/50 drawing for your chance to win cash.
