The best thing though, was when I stopped at Traverse Bay Corner on my way back, to try the excelent turkey dinner at the Idle Thyme. I actually saw a man carrying a bag of wood for the fireplace out of the store!
I woke up this morning to the news on CBC. In the weather forecast they said that Victoria Beach was the hotspot in Winnipeg. Well, I´m sure they meant in Manitoba
The rain has let off and it will be sunny for the next few days at least.
So everybody grab your beach gear and off to the cottage.
August and early September are the perfect time to go to Manitoba’s Beaches! Weather is warm, mid to upper 80s, it is the sunniest time of year and the mosquitos have quieted down. Enjoy the summer by renting a cottage for a week.
Looks like this week-end will be nice and warm, but not too hot for the Eastern Beaches Area of Lake Winnipeg.
The Weather for the Beaches along the eastern shore of Lake Winnipeg can be totally different – Even though the Beaches are only about 60 miles north of Winnipeg
One of the goals of the concert was to raise funds to repair the recent vandalism. Some of the profit was to go towards the upgrade of the baseball park and skateboard pad and the purchase of sport’s equipment.

Over exposure to the UV rays of our sun can lead to sun burns, which in turn are partly blaimed for skin cancer – melanoma. So let’s play it safe, wear a hat at the beach and no skinning dipping before sunset!
The Festival was ended with former Kinks frontman Ray Davies playing his Waterloo Sunset as a kind of swan song to a great party and a great fesitval.

There is even a new phenomenom called ‘row rage’ that has pickers protecting their rows against others trying to sneek-pick berries from rows other than the ones they were assigned to. So far there haven’t been any real phyisikal fights, but apparently it got pretty close a few times.
I just read an article on CBC stating that Manitoba’s main beer distributor says that though there is plenty of beer available they are having problems with the distribution, due to labour problems and weather and illness.
Strong winds brought down the scaffolding and parts of the construction site at South Beach Casino in Scanterbury. The debris fell on some parked vehicles, but there are currently no reports of people being harmed.
Though it can be sunny at the Beaches the weather forcast for Southern Manitoba will predict rain. I wish Environment Canada would discover the area from Patricia Beach to Victoria Beach. Not even Grand Beach gets mentioned in 99% of the weather forecasts! A good place to check the current weather is our Eastern Beaches Website. We have a link there that displays the current weather for the Beaches Area of Manitoba.
Though tornadoes (tornados? whats the proper plural?) are not really common in the Eastern Beaches Area of Manitoba, we all remember the twister that came down at Gull Lake two years ago, killing one person and our power and phone lines.
