On Saturday, August 4th the Locks Rocked, once again at the 9th Annual Rideau Waterway Land Trust Corn Roast.

2nd Annual Boat Parade

 

The day's event began with the Boat Parade, a flotilla of boats owned by cottagers, residents and visitors, who demonstrated their decorating skills as a kick-off to the days' events. This year, Boat Parade organizers, the Swartz family, had a great turn out with 30 boats participating in the parade. We were pleased to have the following dignitaries join us for this event; M.P. Gord Brown and his wife Sherry; M.P.P Bob Runciman and his wife Jeanette and Mayor of the Township of Rideau Lakes Ron Holman and his wife Betty.
