Shelburne Diary (Part 1): Intro




Title:
Shelburne Diary (Part 1): Intro

Description:
On Saturday, 16 June 2007 I took a day-trip to Shelburne, Ontario (http://www.townofshelburne.on.ca) for their first Doors Open weekend (http://www.doorsopenontario.on.ca). Doors Open is a wonderful event, in which a town or city will open the doors of its public and private buildings to the public one weekend a year. Doors Open had had its origins in Europe and took root in North America in Toronto in 2000. I've never missed a Doors Open Toronto and am happy that other communities in Ontario are now joining in. Shelburne is about a 90 minute drive northwest of Toronto and has a population of about 4,000. A very pretty, little town typical of southwestern Ontario. There were some interesting venues which I'll cover in this multi-part series of *very brief* videos. I'll first look at Shelburne's main street, then the mystery of North America's disappearing bees, musical whorehouses, churches converted to private homes and the power of the wind itself. Enjoy.

Shelburne Diary (Part 2): Bees
At the Shelburne farmers market I chatted with a couple that ran a bee-keeping business about the mysterious disappearance of bees in the US I've heard a number of theories including that cell phone signals are messing up the bees' ability to navigate. Whatever the reason, it's a bit alarming. I'm sorry about the abrupt ending of this video. This gentleman was very nice and very knowledgeable, but he was starting to . . . . . "drone" on a bit.

Shelburne Diary (Part 3): Whorehouse
Part 3 of 5 from my day trip to Shelburne, Ontario during their Doors Open events. While visiting the Shelburne Town Hall I came across a rehearsal for the musical "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas." I was impressed with the quality of the performance. I did find out that the actors weren't local, though, but rather were graduates of performing arts schools in Toronto. For more information see: www.townofshelburne.on.ca
