Nothing says summer like ice cream. Sure you can buy a prepared frozen snack in
the grocery or convenience store, but that doesn’t compare to a fresh scoop in
a cone from one of these specialty stores. Discovered a great little spot - Gelatini Gelato on Preston Street - run by a wonderful young couple. They are welcoming, accommodating and smiling....and their gelato is delicious!

Perth Festival of the Maples
Want a great way to usher in spring? The Perth Festival of the Maples, held the last Saturday in April in the heart of the maple syrup capital of Ontario, celebrates the end of the maple sap run with a bash that attracts 15,000 - 20,000 people annually.
Stroll, shop, listen to live music, watch a sheep-shearing demonstration, check out antique cars, sample maple products...or just enjoy a spring day. Perth is only 75 km from the west end of Ottawa, about an hour's drive.
