May long weekend 2010 Fireworks!! Port McNichol & Town of Blue Mountains ...tonite!!

For those who've made tracks up to the cottage or you live in cottage country all year long the Victoria Day May 24 weekend is always charged with excitement. I was hoping to find quite a few fireworks venues for you to consider but have only managed to turn up a couple of ideas.

With both weather and budget being a factor to having a successful event perhaps not many wish to take on the task. So, you could attend one of the following events or buy your own fireworks and have a display of your own!

Fireworks

The Village at Blue Mountain
There are activities planned all May long weekend up at Blue Mountain with music, hiking, scavenger hunts, face painting, Rusty’s Rib Eating contest and yes, there will be fireworks...tonite at 9:30ish!!

Port McNichol
Portorama is a weekend long festival on the waters of Georgian Bay. Boats will be launching for the first time in 2010 and fireworks finale on Saturday, May 22!! ...tonite too!!

Fire Ban is still in Effect for Ramara and Tiny Township - Fire Prevention & Safety Information

I love to have a roaring fire outside, at any time of the year. Like right now for example, when the air is still chilly and dried leaves, sticks and remnants from the past winter still remain piled high longing to be charcoal. But alas, there's a fire ban in effect within both Ramara and Severn townships... :( so no fires for this girl, yet!

If you're a firebug like me, be sure to check with your local township office before torching your pile of dried wood, leaves, grass, brush, paper, cardboard or whatever it may be you want to burn. Please no garbage, plastic, tires ect. Buy a dump pass already, don't be so cheap!! It also doesn't matter whether your fire is contained to a barrel or firepit nor that you're hidden out of sight, no fires means no fires.

So, before you set torch to something, check first!
