The weather in the Haliburton Highlands is mild and wet. It’s barely hitting freezing during the overnights, with the days quite moist. Next Friday looks to be a bright and sunny day though, with seasonable temperatures.
Some Fun Things To Do in the Haliburton Highlands:
Check out the name of this store, The Maple Moon. I love it! My boys brought me (I stayed home with the pooches for the season inaugural trip) a really cool pressie this summer past here. I'm making a point to visit The Maple Moon next summer when we should be there upwards of 2-3 weeks straight.
Festival of Trees November 25, 26 & 27, 2011
Make sure to click each announcement to be able to view it full-size. The Christmas sale begins this weekend, the Festival of Trees, next weekend as the Christmas sale at the Maple Moon continues.
So many good things are happening in the Haliburton Highlands year-round! Whatever your pleasure– a meetup with friends at the Wild Moose for some darts and draft, a film fest, a ‘green’ evening with artist and activist Franke James, or a Santa Claus Parade, there is something for everyone to enjoy! Please read on to get the details. Watch the dates because some of these good times are happening very soon!
All the details are included here on the Minden Festival of Trees 2011. If you have questions beyond what is provided (below), there’s a phone contact as well (scroll to the very bottom). This looks like a great all-ages outing.
Who wouldn’t want to meet Mrs. Claus at her ‘sweet treat cafe’ on Saturday?
I’d love it if someone took photos and shared them!
Influenced by Jamaica, Barbados, Southern California and the Canadian Shield, TooNice has created the sound of Central Ontario! Four members with diverse musical backgrounds have created the nattiest reggae sound around. Go wake the town!
Friday is really the last day for us here at Maple Lake to kick back and have fun before we must start packing and closing up the cottage for the winter so why not have a last blast before we go?
The weather should be awesome during the day–so sun and fun it shall be–maybe grab a few photos and take a swim, perhaps a canoe ride. Then chill a bit and head out in the evening to check out this band! Hope to see you there!

Summer is almost over and it is time to look forward to the many fun fall events in the Haliburton Highlands. Among the most anticipated is the 2011 Colourfest in Haliburton Village. In a continuing quest to offer something for everyone year-round, Colourfest is but one very fun-for-all-ages activities to look forward to.
Besides the awesome performances, one of the Colourfest offerings that excites me most is the
OPP Golden Helmets. Put a uniform on a guy on a bike and ooh-la-la! –I’m entertained.
