PELEE ISLAND
WALKING, FIREWORKS, EATING, LOTS OF FUN AND AN UGLY DUCKLING
Given that this Canadian island has a lots and lots of Americans, it makes sense that it as a combined Canada Day and Independence Day.
On July 1 of this summer of 2006,catch the parade that starts at the Pelee Island Winery. Tastings, tours and entertainment will be at the winery over the weekend.
Also pull on your strollin' shoes for the 9th annual Pelee Island Walkathon for charity.
Saturday night fireworks will explode off the west dock.
Just before the fireworks at 7 p.m. you can take in the musical show with Queen Beez. The group also will perform at 1 p.m. Sunday.
To start Sunday with more pancakes than most would consider seemly, you can gobble up the goodies at the all-you-can-eat breakfast at the Masonic Hall.
As the summer goes along, you can stop by the winery on almost any Sunday and sip in some entertainment along with the local wine.
On July 22 and 23, watch while the Space Theatre Group treads the boards with "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change.``
And on August 26 and 27, the kids will love "Honk, A Musical of the Ugly Duckling`` put on by the young performers of the Theatre Summer Camp.
