SHANIA TWIN

Belting out the most popular hits from Shania Twain is Shania Twin, a tribute artist who performed at Music on the Barge. Despite some sound issue technicalities, the show was good and her resemblance and impersonation great. The real Shania was discovered when she worked at Deerhurst Resort, and still has a cottage on Lake of Bays.

HANDYMAN SPECIAL

This rusted relic had this scrawled handwritten sign duct taped to it:
It's a AS IS A
Handyman Special
It came out when Hitler went in
1933 Chev. 1 Ton Stake Truck FOR SALE

MUSKOKA DRY

It didn't stay dry for much of the Antique Car Show in Gravenhurst today, raindrops collecting on Muskoka Dry's vintage Dodge flatbed like beads of condensation on a bottle of ice cold Pale Ginger Ale on a hot day. Their famous soft drink, produced since 1873, remains a novelty with my boys and me, a treat we enjoy when they visit here.

THE BARGE

Every Sunday evening during the summer locals and tourists gather to enjoy Music on the Barge concerts, a tradition and landmark since the 1940's, with the current bandshell completed in 1959 when it was officially opened and attended by Queen Elizabeth. Tonight's crowd were treated to a tribute to The Beatles by the group The Caverners.

PLAYGROUND OF ONTARIO

Overcast skies with a light rain did little to dampen the enthusiasm of everyone attending the 17th annual Antique & Classic Car Show in Gravenhurst. The bracket mounted above this licence plate caught my sight and is attached to a 1938 Ford Sedan, the same year and model as the first taxi operated by Orvil Hammond from 1944-1946.
