Welcome to the end of the G8 Madness! The Huntsville Event that never was is just about over as the movers and shakers are bugging out to join the big party in Toronto. We had a couple of major motorcades leave just before noon. One was rumoured to be the big man himself The President of US...Obama. Definitely a fast mover with top cover supplier by a green chopper with open doors and most likely bad stuff inside ready and looking for trouble.
The very first picture is our new recreational center also know as The Summit Centre. This was originally going to be the 17 million dollar media center for the G8 till we were pushed aside by the fake lake in Toronto which only cost 2 million.
To celebrate the end or near end of the G8 Huntsville Marine hosted today a lunch presentation. The first ever and last Huntsville G8 awards... The Outside The Red Zone Awards Banquet. Since we spent all that money on The Summit Center we figured we might as well get some use out of it...as it was not busy...in fact empty.
The Outside the Red Zone Awards Banquet
Having the event on short notice and with my son Taylor in the US we needed a master of ceremonies. So Ben Allan got the call was ready willing and eager! We really wanted Ben anyway as the first choice as he is X military and a licenced chopper pilot. Ben managed to fly in under the radar using a cloaking device (top secret stuff) and land just in time at the center. Ben came dressed in his full military uniform so he fit right in...nice helmet by the way! Just saluted acted like a general and walked right into The Summit Center. He wisely left the engines running as we figured the best and brightest would start asking questions at some point and we would very quickly be in deep shit. Anyway here are the awards as presented by Ben...read quickly as this whole thing is going to self destruct in 60 seconds. Huntsville Marine its owners, staff and customers have no knowledge whatsoever about this or anything else about the G8. We deny or make no comment...we were not here...we were actually in Scotland the whole time checking out boats and eating Hagis...really we were!
Best Motorcade
June 26 around noon. Pictures are enclosed. I really liked the guys in the black SUV with the guns hanging out the windows. Rumour has it that it was Obama!
Best Fly Over
Whoever was flying the F18 before the event doing the low passes over Fairy and Penn Lakes. Man were they loud! That little event must of resulted in a few phone calls as whoever that was never was seen again. Only very high top cover on the 24th.
Best Protest
Hands down the Buddhist Monk! Anyone who walks here from Toronto beating a drum the hole way stands out. I got a headache just form him walking by.
Best Unscripted Event
The British Prime Minister going for a dip in Penn. No word yet if he had trunks. Hope so as there is very big Pike in there as well as a very large snapping turtle.
Best and Most Expensive Photo Ever
The leaders of the G8 standing on the grass (it was AstroTurf) in front of the Deerhurst docking bay. We spent 16.5 million on flowers for the two events and this was the best we could do?
Dumbest Photo
The leaders of the G8 trying to paint on a picture being completed at Deerhurst. Who thinks up this stuff! Apparently we paid a consultant $165,000 to get the art work just right!
Best Boat
The 25' twin 300 Verado inflatable at about $325,000 each and yes there were several. Way over the top for Penn Lake!
This brings to a conclusion the G8 coverage from Huntsville Marine. I see several guys and a lady in uniforms chasing Ben. Thank Ben...Exit stage right!
