The Canada Day long weekend is always a busy one in Creemore, and this one looks especially so. In addition to the Creemore Farmers’ Market on Saturday morning, here’s a run down of a few other events to check out.
A Bridge Turns 100
The Collingwood Street Bridge is a century old this year and the committee that’s devoted to saving it is inviting the community to celebrate on Saturday, June 29.
From 11:45 am until 4 pm, a portion of Collingwood Street between Edward and Elizabeth Streets will be closed for a good, old-fashioned street party, with free hot dogs and hamburgers, entertainment by the “Rusty Nuts,” and face painting by darci-que. Piper Tim Armour will be on hand to lead a procession over the old bridge at high noon, and a historical display will outline the reasons the committee thinks the bridge should be given heritage designation.
May the Best Duck Win
Ray’s Place, Creemore’s youth resource centre, is partnering with the Creemore Legion to hold a duck race on the Mad River on Monday, July 1. Proceeds will be split between Ray’s Place and the Legion’s Canada Day festivities. The race ends at Mad River Park at 10:30 am. Ducks, at $5, are available at Ray’s Place and Cardboard Castles.
