Right… Yes… I have a blog. I keep meaning to write more but something always comes along to distract me.
It’s been a busy Spring so far. The number of events in Northumberland County on any given day is mind-boggling. I always have to chuckle when someone says “there’s nothing to do around here”. That just means that you’re not looking hard enough.
I know that I’ve certainly been busy, not only with my site but with other things as well.
Port Hope and District Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards: NorthumberlandView.ca was presented with the award for Excellence in Micro-Business at the awards ceremony on Saturday, April 28th. Needless to say I was surprised. I had a clue that I would win but until they actually announced the winner, I wasn’t sure. It was a great evening and I was able to talk about what I loved about living in this area.
Bears’ Lair Entrepreneurial Competition: NorthumberlandView.ca is also a finalist in the 2nd Annual Bear’s Lair competition. I’ll be going up against 3 other businesses at the Grand Finale on Saturday, May 12th at Peterborough’s Showplace. Tickets are on sale now. http://bearslair.ca
Additions and Subtractions: I decided to take down the “Listen Live” box on the left side of the page and replace it with a “What’s On @” box with links to local arts and performance venues. I’m confident that it will be well used.
