10 year old Abby Johnston is holding a yard sale on Saturday, but it isn't just any yard sale. It's also a bake sale, a raffle and a silent auction, all in support of the Meaford Hospital Foundation.
Meaford's harbour will soon be dotted with a rainbow of colourful sails as Sail Georgian Bay opens for another season of training area youth to sail.
Sail Georgian Bay, a non-profit sailing school, offers sailing lessons to children ages 8-18 throughout the summer.
The Sydenham and District Optimist Club will be holding their annual Canada Day Celebration on June 30 at the Annan ball diamond. Festivities will begin at 6 p.m. and will include the band May Contain Nuts, kids' games, kids' parade, raffle table, food booth, trivia games for all, and big fireworks at dusk.
The event is free but donations are welcomed. Bring the whole family and some lawn chairs and join in the fun.
It made a big splash last year, and this year it's returning for two days of fun on Meaford's 'hospital hill': the Urban Slide, a 1,000 foot long inflatable slide operated by Meaford-based 365 Sports.
The huge slide will provide thrills in Meaford on Friday, July 7 and Saturday, July 8, and as was the case last year, hundreds are expected to turn out and take a slide.
