Blog Guelph: Ho Ho Ho
Today's six pack of posts perfectly illustrate the current state of Guelph's corner of the universe - snowy, cold and festive.
As you dash and prance about today, remember to access your 'inner Santa' and liberally spread good cheer. Be generous with your smile. Lend a hand. Be open hearted. These are gifts everyone can give, cost no coin and do more for the soul than any gadget ever could.
Merry Merry

Blog Guelph: Downtown Guelph
We have a stunning Thursday on our hands folks.
At least from this office-gurl's view...
Yesterday, our lovely Sue Richards offered us a dozen historical pics of our dear old Guelph town. It's no surprise that the bulk of these were taken within the downtown core - the scene of the historic crime so to speak.
Sue couldn't have handed me a more beautiful segue for todays reminder about The Guelph Arts Council Historical Walking Tours Downtown Walkabout. Phew! Now that's a mouthful.
Take a peek at these ten picks of some seriously ancient and beloved places in Downtown Guelph.
And be grateful.

Blog Guelph: Downtown Celebration
Here's where it's all happening Saturday evening....just over to the right (in front of Old Quebec Street) you'll find the stage.
Smack dab in the middle, an ice-sculpting demonstration and to the left, 2 (yes 2!) horse & trolleys.
Dress cosy now, although you'll be warmed by the intensity of fun..

Blog Guelph: Building Guelph's Future
Do you ever wonder about the future of our fine city?
Do you ever worry?
If you've raised your hand for either question, I'm pleased to tell you that the City of Guelph is hosting an Open House at the River Run Centre, 35 Woolwich Street, 7 - 9 pm, on September 19th where they will be asking Guelph residents how Guelph should be built in 2031.
This is a free event that anyone can attend. So put on your thinking caps boys and girls - get your idea motors running.
Today's series of photograph's feature downtown Guelph today. Your job is to try and imagine each image in 25 years. What would you like to see?

Blog Guelph: Ackers at 80
Ackers Furniture has been selling appliances and household gear in Guelph since 1917 - a full 80 years by my calculations. Their official address is 42 Carden Street, but you can also enter the store from MacDonell Street.
I would conclude that any downtown Guelph business with this stretch of longevity has got some wisdom to share. Is anyone from city hall asking them to share?

Blog Guelph - 4 more sleeps
I had initially thought it was shameless to promote my own event as Guest Blogger until I realized two things:
I would have hustled Sue Richards to do the same and,
it is not about me but....
the 100 mixed-media artists that will line Wyndham & Quebec Streets.
Accompanied by Zero Gravity Circus, Sonic Playground, yummy food, Guelph Environmental Leadership's massive chalk art undertaking, even live music all afternoon with Burrows, Ambre McLean, Ancient Chinese Secret (Brian Connelly from Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet, Atomic 7), and the Strawberry Apostles.
Witness many Acts of Art this Saturday, 11 am- 5pm.
The following 7 posts are some of my personal faves from a few members of our Guelph Flickr pool who just so happen to be 3 of the artists exhibiting and selling their works of art that day. Fix.inpost is none other than Graham Taylor, Raven Girl is the lovely Julia Busato, and we end things off today with a beautiful example of Mary Calarco's work.
Come out and support them on Saturday. Have yourself some fun.
I have been conspiring with mother nature and she assures me it will be a beautiful day...
