The Royal Winter Fair 2025!

        Yesterday my dad and I went to the Royal Winter Fair @ Exhibition Place in Toronto as it's an annual event and tradition that we do each and every year. Basicially the same thing this year with similar businesses promoting but we did a pile of taste testing as you know by our reels on Facebook, X, Instagram and TikTok. Was neat to interact with them too and especially when it came to the Old Cheddar, Turkey the dips and the Oyster Mushrooms. 

       We walked around for a while then came back  to the show floor to look around and we did that several times and the animals came towards the end with the cows and the usual, Angus Beef cattle, Holstein, Short Horn and a few Long Horn Cows which we haven't seen in ages since I was a lot younger. Of course the goats being silly trying to eat the plastic and I was scratching it's head while it was distracted by the plastic tie down that was on the fence. I lost how many goats were standing up against the fence but was funny in a way. We had supper which I have a review to come out later on but then my dad got coffee and two cookies and we ended up getting another for free which was nice of them, not necessary but nice. We finally went to the Horse Palace and enjoyed our treats and wondered about looking at some of the horses and got talking to a horse and her ears were moving a lot so she liked that we stopped to see her and a champion too as she won a competition, not sure if it was the Royal or another but that will be the post for now, I will talk to you guys in a couple of hours for the food review.

Toronto Trip (June 30th, 2018)

                This was only planned a few days in advance and I was actually expecting to be in my studio working on Chris B On The Web and I knew with this being the long weekend, I made the executive decision to take the long weekend off from Saturday (yesterday) till tomorrow (Monday) so I will be only active on this blog ONLY for the next 24 hours or so while things here at the studio are very quiet and not much going on here till first thing on Tuesday morning. So I got to go into Toronto yesterday for the later half of the day into the evening in Toronto, with my dad obviously and I wasn't sure what we were going to do. 

                So we left around 2 pm EDT, we first stopped at the Catholic Book Store so I could actually get a new book cover for my church book as I lost which probably can be a throwback Thursday story for another day to tell you guys as it was an ridiculous story and totally my fault for not realizing to pick it up but I will tell you guys this on another day, another time. After that we went to Yorkdale mall to park and they told us no TTC parking like WTF... Where in the heck do we park? Like seriously! So we ended up driving up Allen Road North all the way to Finch Station and down. We got there, got on the subway and went down to North York Station and got off and visited Mel Lastman Square for a bit. Saw the fountain there and also they were also setting up for Canada Day Celebrations today as well.

Then we went to church via the 97 Young Street Bus down to Lawrence Avenue area. After mass we went down to the lake, had dinner, I had a polish sausage and a Gatorade  as well. While eating dinner, we actually heard a whistle, well I did and I knew it was the Trillium Ferry and it happened to run to the Islands and back but my dad thought it was only on a cruise but we decided to do the Ongaria ferry to Hanlans Point and back and they had 5 ferries, 1 on Wards, 2 on Center Island and 2 on Hanlan's Point as it was very busy at the island. We know next time to try and get the Trillium Ferry if we happen to hear it's 108 whistle go off again in the nearby future. Finally to end the day we had Gelato which is a less fattening version of ice cream but hey it was very tasty to have and I enjoy it. 


Happy Canada Day To All The Canadian's out there!
