Lynne and Mark have operated Fields on West Lake http://www.fieldsonwestlake.com for 5 years. For almost 3 years now they have been trying to add accomodations to their operation. Each time they try to apply to the Planning Department they have been told their application is incomplete. Background - Each year their business attracts, on average, over 4000 visitors to Prince Edward County who need meals and far more accommodations than the property could ever hope to have on site. Mark and Lynne are also the founders of the fully, not for profit, Prince Edward County Marathon http://www.pecmarathon.ca which attracts approximately 500-1000 visitors needing meals and accommodations - each year runners complain they can't find places to stay. We know we have a great deal of public support for what we are doing - your help would really be appreciated.

http://www.fieldsonwestlake.com is our home page http://www.pecmarathon.ca is the County Marathon website - Lynne Ellis is Chair of the Board of the registered not for profit Prince Edward County Marathon and Mark is its Race Director. Mark and Lynne have both donated resources and funds to this event every year since its inception. The event has generated over $2 million in economic activity since 2004 http://www.cornfieldmaze.com the website which promotes our very popular corn maze
