Best things to do for Canada Day

No more teachers no more books..., well you know the rest.    I've been out of school for more than 20 years, but end of the school year still seems to be the official start of summer for me.

Lots going on in and around Waterdown if you decided to stay in town instead of heading into cottage country.

In Waterdown, "THE" event of the summer is taking place at Memorial Park... I believe it's the 4th Annual "Oh Canada Ribfest".      Lots of great food like bbq ribs/chicken/pulled pork, colossal onions, donuts, lemonade, ice cream etc...  Also lots of local businesses, vendors and artisans have booths selling their services or products.    Then, there is the stage for entertainment (you can watch ME dancing with my Adult Hip Hop group dancing with Live Dream Dance on Saturday at 11am, and then a big attraction on Sunday night is local rising star Jaclyn Kenyon) and of course all the midway/games.     Monday, special Canada Day activities are planned like the swearing in of new Canadians (130pm Main Stage) and then everything finishes off Monday night at 10pm with FIREWORKS!!!

For more details on all the activities happening at Ribfest, or if you'd like to volunteer... please visit  http://ohcanadaribfest.ca/     This is such a great fundraiser put on by the Rotary Clubs of Waterdown & Flamborough.     Money raised goes right back into the community for local projects and organizations.

Another great event is happening 10 minutes away down at the downtown Hamilton waterfront... the Tall Ships have arrived in Hamilton Harbour as part of a year long celebration of the Bi-Centennial of the War of 1812 (aka when we kicked the butt of the American's and this great country didn't become another American "state"     To find out more about the festivities around the Tall Ships in Hamilton Harbour, check out the Tourism Hamilton Website:

Happy Canada Day from me and my family to yours...
