Thanks,

Well, to some extent, there is. I've got to dig them up from the various Dragon threads - or you can search for them yourself, but if you don't know what you are looking for, it can take a lot of time. Several members have made maps/guides that exist on here in old thread. srqfun, dedwards and shamrock I think are the three that have done so.

Kinda depends on what you're interested in - Lots of venues in the area. Attached are a couple of possibilities, though somewhat long days.

Friday night at the lodge main lobby is a great time to meet up with everyone and find out what and where you will have fun on Saturday and/or Sunday. Introduce yourself frequently and when you find someone you like see if the aren't doing what will interest you.

It is unlikely that you will go wrong here because almost everyone with a Crossfire, at Fontana ON PURPOSE, will give you a good time and be fun with which to run.
