CNE

Not to be missed, the CNE continues to deliver on thrills, shopping and food. Definitely something for everyone. Really enjoyed the Acrobatic show in the Coliseum (don't be late, the doors are closed promptly when the show starts) and the Seanachai Irish dance history (told in song and step dance). A shout out to Stardust Jewellry (lovely bead combinations), Costa Nada (for those tie dye fans), Not Just Cats (for lovers of animals on their clothes) and Moon (lots of everyday "go to" silver pieces) in the Craft building and Battaglia in the Coliseum for some great prices on Naots.

Soulpepper - Tartuffe

While expertly delivered and having many fabulous moments and clever repartee, I have to say this play was not to my taste.‎ The foolish gullibility of the master of the house was more than I could bear. However, many of my favourite performers were at their best, so it was still an enjoyable evening.

Taste of the Danforth

Wandered over to the Danforth late in the afternoon of the last day of the festival, expecting it to be winding down. Was I wrong! The street was packed, lots of people enjoying a perfect day, sampling Greek or Indian or Thai, etc. fare and visiting the many booths along the way. This event gets larger every year, attracting more and more people and really showcasing the restaurant and businesses in the area.

Fern Resort - Aug 3 to 10

OK, I just have to include another great week at Fern in my entertainment blog. The usual teen activities, yoga, cocktail mixing classes, jewelry making, swimming, boating, kayaking, awesome food (although the chef was getting a little eclectic this year), tennis, evening entertainment, etc kept us busy, happy and very well relaxed. Definitely the place to go for family fun - something for everyone and plenty of opportunity to do stuff together, or not .........
