Apple Festival/Art Show 2023

             Saturday I got to go to the Apple Festival in Bowmanville Ontario. Was the second year in a row that we've done this festival. Since the cases have been down even though things have kind of gone up hill lately but still very much safe to go out to the events at the moment but always keeping aware of everything going on.  

         Also within  the same day, I actually went to the Art show as it was on the same day plus some soup festival event going on at the Polish hall but hard to go to it all honestly but I would of gone. Anyways the art show was in the north in the city from where I'm from so a bit of a travel but worth it. Art was gorgeous and made me inspired to try and get sketching in my sketch book which I need to find as the one artist, she actually asked me if I like art and I told her I'm not much of an artist but do dabble from time to time honestly. We enjoyed both events and that is the post for today, thank you for reading, hope you enjoyed this blog and I will speak to you all tomorrow for the next activity we did.

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.

Maple Festival- Bowmanville, Ontario!

 

              Well, well, well, it has been a long time since I have been to an event especially with my dad. I can tell you guys this I was nervous being in a bigger crowd and I know not everyone was masked and I didn't have mine on but we were outside and it is a ton safer. Anyways it wasn't as busy as before, I mean in the past, 3 years ago at the last Maple Festival in Bomwanville. There was a lot of local businesses out and Bowmanville has changed so much since before this pandemic and honestly I have only been through the town twice before today and didn't really get a chance to see it. Lots of places to eat, the Loaded Perogi place which I will have to try next time around as I love Perogies and a big fan of it since I am part Slovak I absolutely love it!               

There was a fudge place from all the way up in Bruce County which is pretty much Tobermory area where I use to and will be going up to at the end of this summer with my dad. So many different places. Even the local politians were there from Conserative Party of Canada and one from the Provincial Liberal party (sorry to get a bit political but it is nice to see then and Erin was the leader of his party up to the last 6 months. I even ran into a fellow bowler that I use to bowl with, it was nice to see her and she picked me out pretty quickly from the crowd. We kept out distance which was good. All in all, was a nice outing, we bused it out from our area which two two buses to get there and back home again. Anyways that is my bonus post for this Saturday, again Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's out there and I will speak to you all on Monday!
