🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING NEWS! EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT! 🚨🚨🚨
📢 THE ROAD IS COMING BACK!!! THE ROAD IS COMING BACK!!! 📢
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, Campbell River… PLEASE REMAIN CALM! (Actually, don't. Get excited!)
After what feels like approximately 47 years, three lifetimes and several geological eras… WE HAVE AN OPENING DATE!!! 🎉🎉🎉
OUR MAIN ROAD IS EXPECTED TO REOPEN BY 5PM TOMORROW… POSSIBLY EVEN EARLIER!
YES! FIVE O'CLOCK! TOMORROW!
Just in time for HALLOWEEN! 🎃👻
The barriers are preparing for retirement. The diversion signs are considering a career change. Sat-navs across Campbell River are about to become redundant!
And most importantly…
🍺 THE LIQUOR STORE IS ABOUT TO BECOME EASY TO REACH AGAIN! 🍷🥂
No more treasure hunts. No more secret routes. No more needing Bear Grylls, Les Stroud or the entire Canadian Search & Rescue team to guide you through the roadworks!
And of course, our neighbours at GOOSE & GANDER will be just as easy to get to! Great food, drinks, music and good times are waiting for you too!
Seriously though, a HUGE thank you to everyone who has been patient, supported us and found a way in during all the disruption. Whether you've been navigating the diversions or making a special effort to visit, we appreciate every single one of you. ❤️
And to those we've not seen for a while…
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! WE'VE MISSED YOU! 😂
The shelves are stocked, the fridges are cold, the doors are open and we're ready for business as usual!
So spread the word, tell your neighbours, alert the family WhatsApp group and prepare for the greatest road reopening Campbell River has ever witnessed!
FREEDOM IS NEAR. ACCESS IS RETURNING. THE B**R RUN IS BACK! 🍻
🎃 HAPPY HALLOWEEN, EVERYONE! 🎃
Normal service (and considerably easier access) is about to resume! 😂
