Busy time in Grey and Bruce Counties



Summer may be winding down but the activities in Grey-Bruce are gearing up. One of the biggest events of the summer - Summerfolk Music and Crafts Festival - will be held this weekend in Owen Sound.

The three-day event (Aug. 19-21) will be held at Kelso Beach Park on the shores of Georgian Bay and will include artists ranging from emerging young talent to some of the biggest names in folk music. For more details, visit http://www.summerfolk.org

Taking over the same venue from Aug. 27 to Sept. 5 is the Owen Sound Salmon Spectacular - a fishing derby with more than $150,000 worth of merchandise up for grabs, free nightly entertainment, two fish fries and a kids’ day. It’s great fun for the whole family and you don’t even have to be an angler to have a good time! For more on the derby, visit http://www.owensoundtourism.ca

Take in some of these events after your round of golf and we can pretty much guarantee you won’t be bored during your time in beautiful Grey-Bruce.



For those of you who have yet to take advantage of the free golf vouchers handed out at the Toronto and London golf shows, it would be a great time to plan a trip to the area.

The golf courses are in fantastic shape, with evening rains helping to keep everything green. And the temperatures in recent days have been ideal for golf. The 14-day forecast calls for lots of sunshine and daytime highs of 21 to 26 C.

To give you further incentive to make the trip, I've listed some Stay and Play Grey Bruce golf offers below.

Hope to see you soon.
