HiddenSTC Addendum: First Contact
After Hidden STC launched in early 2022, a rep. from the mysterious G.D.T. organization reached out with a proposal for a joint venture during the 2023 Niagara Municipal Elections. Things did not go well. #niagara #ourhomestc #stcatharines

The I.B.V.T.M.P.R. may not have achieved all their goals with Union Drive '93, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't celebrate it! A 5% growth in union membership ain't nothin' to shake a stick at! Grab a sweatshirt, tote, t-shirt or some stickers at https://t.co/WNaCtuyQ0G

HiddenSTC Addendum: Union Drive '93
Despite continued growth in the pager repair market, membership in the I.B.V.T.M.P.R. had stagnated. Hoping to expand outside of STC and strengthen the union, the I.B.V.T.M.P.R. organized Union Drive ’93 #niagara #ourhomestc #stcatharines

HiddenSTC Addendum: Catfish Fry 1980
It wouldn’t be summer in the Garden City without a huge plate of deep-fried catfish with all the fixins, and the Annual Summer Catfish Fry is a huge revenue generator for the STC chapter of the Skink Lodge. #niagara #ourhomestc #stcatharines

After my write-up on Brats & Brews '86, I reached out to the St. Catharines Walter Ostanek Fan Club Headquarters (W.O.F.C.H.Q.) to see if I could license the shirt design used at the event for some official replica merch. Get yours today over at https://t.co/WNaCtuyQ0G

HiddenSTC Addendum: Brats & Brews '86
In the history of St. Catharines' Walter Ostanek Fan Club Local 3091, no event is more famous than its 1986 bratwurst cookoff at Lakeside Park in Port Dalhousie. #niagara #ourhomestc #stcatharines
