Life Experiences with Elvis

If I were a younger person, would I use this service?  Lifexperiences.ca will help me find an 'experience' and send it as a gift.  If we look at the Lifestyle section, there are experiences such as: Axe Throwing in Saint Anns 30 Day Yoga Adventure - For Two Learn to Shop like a Pro Home-staging to sell OR Home-staging to stay My own idea is the following:  Did you know that there is a Niagara Falls Elvis Festival from April 20 - 22?  This is its second year.  There are gala shows, an Elvis Competition, delicious food, fun times and cool surprises, according to the website.  And then there is the Niagara Falls, with its thunderous water, flowers, and attractions. How many Elvis Festivals are there?  There's the Official Elvis Festival, at Lake George, New York.  There's one in Collingwood, Las Vegas, Texas, Georgia, and more.  Did you know that the largest festival is in Collingwood, Ontario?  It's in July.  If we were visiting Australia, the festival is January 9 - 13th next year.    There is an Elvis Week in Memphis in August.  It includes a candlelight vigil celebration.  Or watch the coverage here and see Elvis' comeback performance.  There's so much Elvis to go around that there is Elvis Radio - it is a station that plays Elvis 24/7.  That's a lot of Elvis music having been recorded.  Quora lists 523 albums and approximately 784 songs.   Some pretty pink lilies today.

Patio Lantern Festival

The Festival of Trees is a Christmas celebration in Grimsby and it raises money for Rotary's charitable causes.  It is very popular with sponsors who pay for trees and decorations.  It is equally popular with the public who view the trees and buy lottery tickets for donated items.   I started the search for a summer equivalent - some sort of fantasy of summer trees - perhaps a patio lantern festival. I did a search for patio lantern and found so many results.  Of course we find Kim Mitchell's Patio Lanterns hit song, and all the summer festivals he has appeared at recently. A surprise is more than one winter solstice festival.  I was intrigued by the Secret Lantern Society with their festival at the Winter Solstice.  There's Zoominations where zoos have lantern festivals. The Calgary festival was named Illuminasia. These all sound so great - how to bring these to Grimsby for a distinct summer event.

Our November Festival - Chrysanthemums!

Chrysanthemum Festivals are coming to North American botanical gardens.  At Centennial Gardens in the back growing greenhouses, the Chrysanthemums are trained into shapes.  This is a double hanging heart.  The show will be at its peak in November and for Remembrance Day a giant poppy made of Chrysanthemum flowers will be on display.
