We love to do things locally. There are so many places, events, activities in our area and we try to do as much as we can ! Our area is the Bay of Quinte area; including Prince Edward County.
We love the Old Church Theatre located in Trenton. It started in 1876 as a Methodist church. Long story short…… in 1994, Roy Bonisteel purchased, renovated and restored teh building. Today, Lesley Bonisteel (Roy’s daughter) runs the place with the help of volunteers. It’s a great venue for entertainment. We have seen Michael Schatte, Sean McCann (from Great Big Sea) Urban Highlanders, Nicholas Campbell and many more. They also have plays, trivia nights and more. In the summer there is a lovely patio with an outdoor stage and woodfired pizzas as well as an assortment of beverages.

The Fiddleheads ! Great show; enjoyed it a lot and hope to see them again. Also a shout out to Lynn Hanson, she was fabulous ! Hope to see her again too !
Sean McCann, used to be a member of Great Big Sea. He is a great performer and we really enjoyed it. I like the B&W that I did of Sean and then of course the prerequisite photo that Clint took of Sean and myself. (April 2017)
The Toronto Blue Jays are kinda local, if you think a 2 hour drive isn’t too far off the “local path” ! I don’t watch a lot of baseball but I do like to watch the occasional Blue Jays game on TV and I really like to go to the Rogers Centre to see the real deal. Had the chance to go to a game, compliments of my son, on 15 April 2017. It’s about time for another trip to see them.
Great area to live in. Lots of lakes, rivers; we are located on the Bay of Quinte, Lake Ontario is close and we have many rivers including the Moira River and Trent River. There are 4 Ontario Provincial Parks close by, Presquile, Sandbanks, North Beach and Ferris. Sandbanks Provincial Park especially is somewhat famous; it’s known primarily as the world’s largest baymouth barrier dune formation. The massive sand dunes stretch for 12 kilometers and reach heights of up to 25 meters, attracting over 750,000 visitors annually
We have lots of great breweries – Signal Brewery,– Parsons, 555 Brewing Co, Meyers Creek, Prince Eddy’s, All my Friends and approximately another 10 more. There are so many wineries: Casa Dea, Sandbanks Winery, Grange, and Traynor just to mention a few but there are approximately 40 wineries in our area.
Festivals and events are too many to count ! Countylicious, Jazzlicious, Quintelicious, Savour the Heat, Caribbean Festival, Downtown at Dusk, and more. There is the Regent Theater, Westben, Empire Theatre. And of course the Old Church Theatre which I already spoke about.
We also have the Museum of Natural History. I could go on and on but trust me, there is a lot to do and see in my area!
