Well, now that Music in the Fields is over, we can breath a sigh of relief. It’s great that we get all these artists here to entertain all those who come from far away and injest our community with lots of money, but it certainly is nice when we’re back to normal and peace reigns once again. We do hope that the weekend was as successful as it appeared to be. We also look forward to hearing how well financially things went, but that may take a few weeks for all the bills to be added up and taken care of. Congratulations to all the great volunteers who made the weekend such a success.
Congratulations to the folks who participated in the Ripley Food, Arts and Crafts show on the weekend. There was an amazing variety of items offered.

Fall in cottage country is beautiful—crisp, clean air; a quilt of coloured trees lining the hills; and sparkling, shimmering water undisturbed by summer’s eager boaters.
Thanksgiving at the cottage can be something special too—if you do it right. Chances are, that weekend is also close-up, and while you want to get everything ticked off your to-do list, you want to enjoy the spirit of the season as well.
Here are five ways to hack your Thanksgiving feast, so you can get your work done and still have time to relax and enjoy those last precious cottage moments.
On August 30, My Muskoka Now reported a sighting of the invasive gypsy moth in Ontario’s Parry Sound. Originally found throughout Europe and Asia, this deciduous-destroying insect was brought to North America in the late 1860s by Leopold Trouvelot, a French artist and amateur entomologist, in an attempt to establish a silk industry in the United States. But the insect escaped from Trouvelot’s laboratory in Boston, Massachusetts, thriving and multiplying in the nearby hardwood ecosystem.
Nobody wants to say goodbye to summer days on the dock, but unless you’ve winterized your cottage, closing up in the fall is something we all have to do. Luckily, Cottage Life editor Michelle Kelly has some helpful tips to make the process less painful.

Lake Huron Centre for Coastal Conservation
Welcome to April's edition of the LHCCC Newsletter! Spring has “sort of sprung”? Mother nature is trying her best to bring back our summer weather, and I am sure many of you are contemplating your returns to your cottages and planning your summer vacation.
Wow, do we have a lot to share in this month’s newsletter! The Coastal Centre has been very busy collaborating with environmental groups along our shoreline to protect your lake.
I had the opportunity to attend the Environmental Defense Gala in Toronto. We have had a planning workshop with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, met with Conservation Authorities, Healthy Lake Huron and the Bruce Peninsula Biosphere Association. We have made presentations to several of your municipal councils, have met with Pine River Watershed Initiative Network and the International Joint Commission. We are doing all this in an effort to link all environmental groups along our shore to create a cohesive effort to protect and improve the health of Lake Huron.
