Huntsville, Ontario--Updated August 23, 2010--It's not unusual to bring the family to cottage country for some bonding time. But when CARSTAR does it, they go all out.

CARSTAR recently held its 13th Annual Industry Conference in beautiful Muskoka at the Deerhurst Resort.

Events began with a rousing speech from president and CEO Sam Mercanti, who recounted CARSTAR's long and interesting journey through his own lens.

Following Mercanti's speech the whole group headed to the lake for CARSTAR’s “Sweet 15” Beach Party Bash to celebrate 15 years in Canada.

The conference continued with a jam-packed agenda until Friday evening. (See the full schedule here.)
