Welcome to the “Dock Side”…

Yes, this weekend Gravenhurst has turned to the Dock Side…

Every year a festival is held down on Muskoka Wharf, and this year they decided to combine Steamship Days, (annual sidewalk sale) on the same weekend.  This is a shot from the main street, the blue trailer in the foreground, is call the Rotary Wheels.  The Club sells hot dogs and sausage all weekend and makes a pile of money from it!

Judy and I did a tour of the main street, and it takes a while, as in Gravenhurst, you meet just about everyone you know on the street as it is a nice small town!

We drove down to Muskoka Wharf, and toured the Dock Side Festival… This is a carved wooden bear that announces Regatta’s Restaurant on the Wharf…

We were supposed to go motorcycling this morning, but the poor weather stopped that.  Does not look much better for tomorrow…

Oh well, till tomorrow…
