Chris has produced the following video that features my business. It is entitled “A CFDC Success Story - Murray's Story – Ontario” or found on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaFY4HQEnQc
As you will see this video is about my personal connections with the
Northumberland CFDC and how much they helped me with the starting up and
running of Misty Hollow Carving.
In 2008 my dream to launch a business became a reality.
This year and in these few short days, until May 23rd, this
next Wednesday, there is a small competition taking place. This video that Chris produced will be
possibly shown (as the winner) at the National AGM of the CFDC (Community
Futures Development Corporation) from across Canada.

The Fireworks - Last Night in the Park
We arrived at 9:30 PM at Roger’s Cove in
Peterborough. It is a beautiful park
sitting on the north shore of Little Lake.
It faces south on to the lake with the beautiful fountain just to the
right.
Last night was the amazing Fireworks display
to celebrate this Long Weekend in May – where we entitle it the “Victoria Day”
weekend. The comical part is that very few of us ever think about the Old “Queen
Victoria”, who is a relative of our present Queen Elizabeth… an earlier great grandmother(?)
– who lived between 24 May 1819 – 22
January 1901
But Canadians love a good
holiday and any reason for a celebration – even a Queen that we hardly know
anything about!!!!
For all the old
Peterborough-ites that once lived here… these photos are for you. The Big Bangs
and Kerpows cannot not be duplicated here for you. Sorry.
(The fact that this display of
Fireworks is very much smaller than the ones that we used to watch in Asia when
we lived there… that took a half dozen barges located in the Harbour of Hong
Kong to set off a GaZillion dollars of Fireworks… doesn’t matter. This is
Peterborough and we don’t a GaZillion Dollars!)
Here is some of the display
for you to enjoy….

BTW - some of the photos are shown with more space to the left - I cropped them that way to use as Screen Savers - which you are welcome to do.
