Check out the Taste Explorers section starting on page 58 and the Shoreline Sipping Route starting on page 52. CONNECT WITH YOUR COMMUNITY As the seasons change from hot, sunny summers through to cold, snowy winters, so do the quantity and type of events and activities. In peak tourist season (May through September) there are about 200 local events going on, spread across spring, summer and early fall weekends. Instead of tourist-attracting events, late fall and winter activities change to hiking, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and skidooing. Indoor activities become club and service-club based. Find Rotary, Lions and Optimists in each municipality and the Kiwanis Club in Forest. The Kiwanis Club looks after the Kineto Theatre, one of the world’s oldest film theatres. There are special interest clubs for hiking, pole walking, gardening, theatre, visual arts, history, line dancing, darts, euchre, shuffleboard and personal development.
