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.

LAKE OF BOYS

After spending the previous week at separate locations of Ontario Pioneer Camp, my boys take some time to share their experiences when we spent the weekend relaxing together at a relative's cottage on Lake of Bays, the second largest lake in Muskoka, however not as well known as the other big three of Muskoka, Rosseau and Joseph.

THE COUNTDOWN

The countdown has begun to August 14, the date of Muskoka's own Amazing Race. Modelled after the popular TV series, 50 teams of 2 will compete in various challenges and locations, starting from The Landscapes venue in Baysville. To participate I have to raise $200 in pledges in support of the Muskoka Trails Council and their initiatives.

The last of the original fleet of steam ferry boats to ply Lake Of Bays she spent decades submerged underwater before she was recovered, and over the past several years being restored to her former glory.
