Where To Go… What To Do…

As I have mentioned previously, Judi and I are planning on visiting between 75 and 80 Ontario festivals, events and attractions! So far, with unpredictable weather and some personal commitments, we have only been able to visit 9. This leaves 66 to 71 events left to visit in 2008. To put that into perspective, we have 37 weeks left and about 70 events to visit. That means we have to average 2 per week over the next 37 weeks! So much for the math! Here’s our dilemma, most festivals and events take place during the summer and fall months. That means there are a lot to choose from during those months and we have had a great number of requests from festival and event organizers to visit their event. There are so many great and interesting festivals and events, its hard to decide which ones to visit! The problem is we want to visit them all! But, of course, we can’t, so we have to make some choices. In doing this we have to take into consideration timing (month-day-times) and distance. Distance, as I have mentioned before, is important because we need to visit more than one event per week. I thought we would have some fun and let you help us decide which festivals, events and attractions we should visit during the peek months. So, over the next 4 weeks I am going to publish a monthly list of possible events, etc. to choose from. To view the list simply go to the Ontario Festivals Visited website (http://www.ontariofestivalsvisited.ca/) and click onto “NOMAD CONTEST”. When making your choices, please take into consideration timing and distances plus your personal experiences, and then let us know what festivals and events you think we should visit! E-mail your choices to nomad@ontariofestivalsvisited.com. From all the responses, we will draw one name and award a “Nomad Prize” to that person! Once we have made our final schedule, we will publish it in the free monthly Ontario Festivals Visited newsletter, “Festival Notes”.
