It’s sad to think about it, but we will soon be saying goodbye to the ‘dog days of Summer’ and hello to the cooler weather and colours of autumn. But just because the seasons may be changing there is still a lot to see and do in Waterford.

Old Town Hall, Waterford has once again entertained us with a great lineup of local talent at their outdoor Thursday night Summer Lawn Concerts. Thanks to all of the entertainers who headlined the concerts and those who attended. The music was great and it was obvious that

everyone enjoyed the entertainment.

The final show, Summer’s Last Waltz, will be held on Friday, August 28th. It promises to be a bigger celebration than expected and a little bit different. The evening gets under way at 5:30 p.m. with a cocktail hour featuring Bazil Donovan of Blue Rodeo fame. There will be feature stories, songs, conversations and even a surprise guest with a special announcement. Everyone is invited to attend this 2nd annual musical celebration fundraising event in support of Old Town Hall.

You can find more info on their Facebook page – Old Town Hall (Waterford, Ontario, Canada). It will be an evening packed with great music, great entertainers, special guests and some great news! You won’t want to miss it!

VETERAN BANNERS

If you enjoy strolling the streets of Waterford, be sure to check for the latest Memorial Banners that have been raised around town and at the Legion on Nichol Street.

It is such a fitting tribute to Waterford Veterans who served their country. You can learn more about these Veterans by following Waterford Memorial Banners Facebook page. There is a story behind every banner! A huge thank you to everyone involved in this project.

A special thanks to Norfolk Simcoe Electric Ltd. for volunteering their time and equipment to install the latest of the brackets and banners, including the ones that are located on the Main Street bridge.

It takes a community and we live in one of the best ones around.
