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.

CONSTANCE BAY – The Rural Root Theatre Company (RRTC) is holding auditions in just a couple of weeks and now they are gathering a behind-the-scenes crew.

DUNROBIN – Part fashion show, part fundraiser, all confidence builder.

GALETTA – It was an afternoon of music and stories in the Farmgate Cider barn as Newfoundland musician Sherman Downey shared both during a matinee performance last Saturday (June 22).

WEST CARLETON – We lost a couple great West Carleton Canada Day events due to COVID-19 and construction over the last couple of years, but as always there’s plenty to do in the neighbourhood if you want to celebrate Canada’s birthday locally.
