It was the same year that a group of head-banging\u00a0teenagers had come together in Los Angeles to form Metallica. Despite a recent assassination attempt,\u00a0the president of the United States was still Ronald Reagan. Pierre Trudeau was prime minister of\u00a0Canada, while Bill Davis was premier of Ontario. The Rolling Stones were singing &#8220;Start Me Up&#8221; and &#8220;An\u00a0American Werewolf in London&#8221; was playing in theatres.<\/div><div id=\"cke_pastebin\">\u00a0<\/div><div id=\"cke_pastebin\">Against the backdrop, Chris Simons and approximately 25 friends, through word of mouth, got together\u00a0at the Commerical Hotel {The Zoo}, now known as Angelos of Dover. It was in November and it was\u00a0Friday the 13th. They had such a good time they decided they should do it every Friday the 13th. And so\u00a0the tradition was born.<\/div><div id=\"cke_pastebin\">\u00a0<\/div><div id=\"cke_pastebin\">Every Friday the 13th thereafter, the number of people coming to the event has increased. Chris has\u00a0a suitcase full of newspaper and magazine clippings regarding Friday the 13th and he has become\u00a0somewhat of a celebrity because of it. Everywhere he goes, people have heard of Friday the 13th in Port\u00a0Dover.<\/div><div id=\"cke_pastebin\">\u00a0<\/div><p>~Courtesy of the Port Dover Maple Leaf\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Origins In 1971 when George Simons gave his son a Rupp minibike, he never dreamt he would be instilling a life-long passion in his son Chris.
