Picnic in the Park
The first day of summer was a scorcher, but it didn’t deter a good-sized crowd from attending a free evening barbecue and concert hosted by Donna Cansfield, MPP Etobicoke Centre. The steamy evening was cooled down a notch with thoughts of Finland as Boomers for Fitness offered a Nordic walking demonstration. After enjoying a barbecued bite to eat and seeing a variety of organizations showcase their products and services, attendees settled in for a wonderful concert courtesy of the Etobicoke Community Concert Band. The fun-filled musical evening was the first in a series of summer concerts at Applewood, The Shaver Homestead. To learn more, visit www.applewoodshaverhouse.org
