Apple Festival 2022

             Back on the weekend, I got to go to the Apple Festival with my dad as it is an tradition for us to do that year after year. There was a ton of people there and glad to see how busy the event was especially being back after 3 years of no events and I honestly do not remember if they did one last year at this time and I do not think they did. A lot of vendors there, we tried this really awesome Cookie, my dad had the vanilla flavor meanwhile I tried the Pumpkin Spiced flavor. Was really good that we bought 3 boxes of them as a treat for all of us to have. Was really good trying these cookies. I wasn't sure I was going to like them.

               A lot of campaigns for the upcoming elections were there to getting people's vote and someone that is running for Mayor which my dad knew him as he played hockey with them. Also the Member of Parliament. It was nice to see the politicians there to represent the community at these kind of events.  Was a great event and nice that we took the bus into Bowmanville for this this event. Anyways that is my post for today and small note we made a side trip by car to the lake to see the ship that was down there as we think it was leaving but it wasn't when I wrote this yesterday. I will talk to you all tomorrow for another post.

Bowmanville Apple Festival 2019

         Yesterday my parents and I went to the
Bowmanville Apple Festival which is an usual event that I go to on a yearly basis. So we say vendors with Honey, apples which had all kinds of Apples, golden delicious, MacIntosh Apples and so on. Also it has jumping castle for the kids and speaking of which they also had a Merry-Go Round for the kids. However there was no Ferris Wheel whatsoever and normally they have a Ferris Wheel but this year there was absolutely no wheel this year which I find it really off like I said there is a Ferris wheel normally. Anyways the one place I did not see there and they are always there each festival is Tyrone Mills and this year they were not there so that is a question I cannot answer is where they were this year.  I was disappointed as I was thinking of grabbing a donut from their booth this year as they make the best donuts ever
.            


                So another thing I noticed is the lack of food vendors and I knew someone that I worked with when I did my High School placement he had a hot dog vendor my dad and I went to but the Toasted Walnut was there outside. The Member of Parliament who is going to try and get re-elected to office tomorrow actually and he was there actually so it was neat to meet the Bowmanville Member of Parliament and seems like a really nice guy. There others who are running were there too and I have my thoughts and feelings about seeing politicians campaigning but again I understand why. Final few things I would like to even mention is I ran into my aunt which is always nice to see family and we didn't know she was going to be there but family does mean a lot to me honestly. Overall we had a good time and looking forward to the next event.

Bowmanville Maple Fest 2018!

              Yesterday, I got to go to the Maple Fest in Bowmanville with my dad before I spent time with my niece and nephew and I always go to this event every year, I believe I did not go last year but made up for it this year. Today also marked this as the first local event or event in Ontario this year. There is plenty of more events to come and I will be announcing it at the start of next week to the events I will be attending this year in the way of Chris B On The Web related. 


              So first impressions were I was excited to be going back to events just because I love to blog about it, the adventures, what I saw, what there is to do. We got there, there was the fire truck displayed and what a fire truck it was! It really has changed since the first ever fire truck came out back in the day! Of course we saw a fire truck coming our way probably was heading to a call and it wasn't red, it looked like a black fire truck and I thought the fire trucks are suppose to be red? Maybe it was too far away from us where we were standing at the time.                         


They also had vendors as well, lamps, they had entertainment in two areas of the street, one in the middle and at the east end of the event as well. I took a picture but I don't think it turned out very well but I managed to try and get a picture but I didn't see it when I processed the pictures but I will look through the images again to see. There was food too, BBQ, Hot dogs, sausages. My dad and I have a Potato Tornado which is potatoes on a stick. Can have Sea Salt, Buffalo flavored, sour cream or Dill. Was delicious to eat and I wanna try the sour cream flavor as I  am one for sour cream when I eat my potatoes, baked potatoes mainly. So I definitely will try that next time we have a tornado potato. When I look at it, it does look like a tornado when you look at the stick from the top to the bottom of the stick. Yes I snapped the stick in half after I was finished eating.

Finally I enjoyed my time at the Maple Fest and looking forward to the next one which is the Food Truck  which is the day before the Old Car Festival which is in June, the date for the Food Truck Friday, June 15th, 2018 and I will be attending it this year, however the old car festival will be a no go but there is other car festival here in Oshawa coming this summer to look forward to going to, so I am not worried at all about missing it but I loved going to the Bowmanville one because of the old Edsel Car but it is what it is and I just gotta deal with it.
