Hello Everyone!

We would like to gauge interest for an upcoming Smuggs’ Club trip to the Quebec City Winter Carnival February 5-7, 2027. 

It may seem a long way off but the best rooms sell out fast and we have secured great pricing at a premium hotel with outstanding location for festival events. (Wikipedia article)
