Magnetawan Fish Hatchery!
The fish hatchery is back up and running in Downtown Magnetawan. The first netting of the pickerel (walleye) took place on Saturday morning and Cody (the wonder dog) and I decided to check it out. Attached are some pictures - they net the fish, keep out the females, extract the eggs to put in the hatchery and then release the females. Very interesting process. ...

Cottage Life Show UpdateThe Cottage Life Show was a success, by all accounts. I had the pleasure of speaking to a lot of people about the Almaguin Highlands area - a lot of people who already own property in the area and some that are looking to purchase property in the area. Looking forward to my time at the show next March!

Looks like the ice will be out by the end of the week - this must be a new record. It is amazing to be out and about so early and so nice there are no bugs! Cody took his first dip in the river (albeit a quick one) yesterday.
This is ...

BillboardIt's official - I have taken out my first Billboard! Located on Hwy. 124 heading West from Sundridge half way up Clover Hill. When I first started out in my new career, it never occurred to me that I would undertake such a large advertisement. However, I have learned that this entire business is based on self-promotion and so here it is...the very first one! ...

Mid-OctoberIt is now October 19th and, having had a beautiful week to 10 days of fantastic weather, we seem now to be in a rainy, windy typical fall weather pattern. That's okay - we don't have to shovel it and I am sure we are all (most of us anyway), happy about that. I wish to welcome Kevin & Yvonne to the Burk's Falls area - they have purchased a home and moved up from the Barrie area. ...

Magnetawan Fall FairI think the Magnetawan Fall Fair was a huge success on the weekend! There seemed to be a great crowd - lots of exhibits and wonderful music! The beef on a bun was amazing!
