Savour the Pontiac - Aug 21, 2011

Thanks to Pontiac Municipality for organizing the "Savour the Pontiac" via Action Pontiac Group. Glad I was able to see a few of the vendors and do some taste testing. I was able to take a few pics before the torrential rains fell early in the afternoon and dampened all our spirits.
You can see more pics and read more about the day on the Action Pontiac blog

The Agricultural Hall (aka Elvis Building) was a great place to show our art.

A canine visitor I just couldn't resist taking a photo of.

These guys made great food.....and to boot - it was free.

These guys were great!

On the River near Fitzroy Harbour

No matter when you go on the Ottawa River, you can always manage to see wildlife.  Here are a couple of nature shots near Fitzroy Harbour and the hydro dam.

Value Mart Opens

So glad Value Mart opened up again finally and the strike is over. There was a free BBQ, face painting, balloons and music. I was there when Gail Gavan was singing.
