CARP – Last Thursday evening (Aug. 22) Shakespeare buffs gathered behind the Diefenbunker, or perhaps we should say on top of the bunker, for an evening of intrigue and murder.

SARSFIELD – Two former politicians showed they could cut a line at the recent (Aug. 23, 24) Ottawa Carleton Plowmen’ Association (OCPA) Plowing Match, but not well enough to take home top prize.

DUNROBIN – A little rain never hurt anybody, and those attending last night’s (Aug. 22) St. Mary’s Old Time Corn Roast didn’t have to worry anyway, as the hard-working volunteers of St. Mary’s Anglican Church had their gazebos up and doors open.

CONSTANCE BAY – We don’t have a lot of details, but when a great non-profit organization like the Rural Root Theatre Company (RRTC) celebrates its 20th anniversary, you sound the horn early.

OTTAWA – Ottawa fair season kicks off this weekend in Ottawa’s east end with the Navan Fair pitching its tent; the start of the most wonderful time of year culminating in Carp the third weekend of September (although there might be one more fair after that).

DUNROBIN – In West Carleton, first comes the corn, followed closely behind by the community’s corn-themed events.

 CARP – The horses are already arriving in anticipation of the Eastern Ontario Quarter Horse Association (EOQHA) annual summer show.
