Happy birthday Boler: 100s of cute campers in Winnipeg for anniversary gathering
WINNIPEG — Angela Durand sits outside her camper which is decorated to look just like the yellow submarine in the well-known song by The Beatles.
In a lawn chair beside the blue-and-yellow 1968 camper painted with pictures of John, Paul, George and Ringo — a little yellow propeller attached to the back — Durand strums her ukulele and sings about the community that’s developed around the small moulded fibreglass Boler.
“I bought it. Then I did research on the Boler. Then I became addicted to Bolers,” she said. “I love it.”
Hundreds of the unique trailers have descended on Winnipeg to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Manitoba invention.
