Canada Day Weekend, 2011: HAPPY BIRTHDAY CANADA!
Wow! What a busy town this weekend! The fireworks display last night has
people talking. Some say it was the best show this town has had. It takes place every year, weather provided, from the beach park. Hundreds of people watch from their boats on Cameron Lake, many more watch from shore. Add that to our new docking along the canal/locks, the updated beach area with paved walkways, gazebo, volleyball court, sandy wade-in beach – all connected of course, with the newly expanded Maryboro Lodge Museum serving strawberry shortcake in the afternoon. Top it all off with the Harry Peterson Band* playing their classic rock hits at the Cow and Sow ‘til the wee small hours of the morning, and you have one fun-filled terrific town to visit!
We are in a slight lull right now, as everyone takes a break before tonight’s festivities. Soon the town will be full of shoppers enjoying Midnight Madness and the Lockjam concert. There will be lots of activities to keep everyone amused – from face painting, airbrush tattoos, and bouncy castle for the kids, to good food, great buys, and entertainment for the grown-ups. There’s more, but You just need to be here to take it all in. Hope to see you there!
*totally intended to promote my husband and son’s band. Check them out on Facebook.
