Winterlude Ceremony

The opening of Winterlude festival on Feb. 4th was spectacular, especially fireworks on Alexandra bridge. The festival lasts for 3 weeks and is filled with excitement and activities, e.g.  glittering ice carvings, snow sculptures and a gigantic snow playground. Come to celebrate the joys of winter together!

Do you like going to school?

I had a chance to visit the Frontenac County Schools Museum for a Christmas Concert. The schoolroom set in the style of a one-room rural school house in the 1900-1930 era. The desks and artifacts were collected from the schools which at one time dotted the countryside. It was for the first time in years that I felt like going back to school again, but it has to be this kind of school. More info about the school can be found here the Frontenac County Schools Museum.
