The Migration Festival…

October is almost here and the birds are gathering together for their flight down south! Each year the Town of Kingsville celebrates the winged migration of the Canada Goose and other migratory birds. The community has a long tradition of conservation, starting with its famous resident Jack Miner. The citizens of Kingsville have been celebrating the migration and Jack Miner’s contributions for many years, 39 to be exact. This year, however, is different! The festival’s organizers decided that they wanted to share their joy and excitement with the rest of Ontario! So, to encourage everyone to attend, they have kicked their festival program and their marketing up several notches! Right from their 6:30 PM opening ceremonies on Friday, October 17th to their long list of activities and events, the Migration Festival has everything planned for their 3 day celebration! Their special guest, Tennessee singer/songwriter, Randal Haley, will perform his country hit, “Blackey and the Jack Miner Band” at the opening ceremonies and will act as Parade Marshall for the Migration Festival Parade. Judi and I looking forward to joining the fun and celebrations. We are driving to our artist friend’s home in Essex on Friday afternoon and then on to Kingsville.
