Once again, the Chamber has collaborated with the Boyne River Keepers and other community groups to host a fun, family-filled day of activities, with a focus on the beautiful Boyne River.
Organizers are encouraging people to grab some pirate gear and come dressed as their favourite scallywag.
The Treasure Chest Market with local artisans and community groups will be from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Ryall Park, where the Chamber partnered with local businesses to create a treasure hunt.
There will also be a Parade of Pirates Poker Derby on the water for $10 per hand, where attendees will kayak or canoe to various stations to obtain cards.
After participants have completed the circuit, they will bring their hand to Ryall Park, where there will be entertainment, a market, booths of many community groups, games for the kids, Ol’ Smokey’s food cart, a treasure hunt through the business district, as sidewalk sales and music by Gord Laschuk at Ryall Park’s stage.
