Another Fabulous House Concert

The beer was on ice, the freshly picked veggies were all washed and sliced, the cookies were baked and the coffee was brewed, the house was packed… the House Concert was ready to start…
Last Saturday night Charles Glasspool and the Big Love rocked the house to raise funds to finish their first EP “Mudtown”. It was an amazing concert with great original music. If you missed it, be sure to check out some highlights of the evening.

Owen Sound Salmon Spectacular

Deb — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 14:22:36 +0000

Although it coincides with back to school and the end of summer, many look forward to it each and every year… It’s the Sydenham Sportsmen Association’s annual Owen Sound Salmon Spectacular. This year’s event runs from Friday, August 28 to Sunday, September 6.

You don’t have to fish to enjoy the derby. Each day brings loads of entertainment and things to do for everyone of all ages. Lots of fun, food, prizes and entertainment. Check the schedule on the website. The entertainment starts on Friday afternoon and just keeps going for the duration of the derby… kids night, kids day, daily and nightly entertainment, a giant fish fry on each of the Saturday evenings of the event, seniors day and a ladies afternoon.

The derby is run by hundred of volunteers, working each day to help it run smoothly. It has grown over the years and seems to be bigger each year, with many local and national sponsors to help make it such a success.

So, if you fish, buy your ticket and get in on some great fishing. If you’re not… come on down to the big white tent at the marina and have a great time… you may just come back more than once.
