Perfect weather had local members of the community out in droves for Canada Day celebrations across the county. Revelers enjoyed parades, live music, demonstrations, art, festive food, lakefront fun, and a plethora of activities for the whole family at various locations including Harrowsmith, Sydenham, Sharbot Lake, Arden, Denbigh, Long Lake, Crow Lake and Desert Lake Bedford, Verona, Snow Road, Maberly, Plevna, and Ompah. There were music jams, pig roasts, karaoke, astronomers, strawberry socials, boat tours, drummers, kids crafts, bingo, strong man competitions, duct tape boat races and so much more. Hats off to all of the community groups, recreation committees and individual volunteers who put so much time and energy into creating a cross county party that so many come out to enjoy year after year from near and far.
As usual, the festivities ended with many a bang as a number of firework displays closed off what many agreed was a pretty much perfect and very memorable Canada Day.
