Auto flea market, Medieval Fayre, Carden Nature Festival...events in cottage country, Ontario 2010!

Less that one month left then school is out for summer but, what's keeping you entertained this weekend? Of course, the weather is a huge dictator of plans around cottage country so lets hope for a weekend stunner!

If you haven't made plans to host a garage sale, roll around in poison ivy or stake out the G8 Summit, perhaps a visit to one of the following events may be of interest to you.
