Wye Marsh Fall Festival Adds “Rhythms” to Family Outdoor Fun

Midland, Ontario…….September 12, 2007. Ontario’s Wye Marsh Fall Festival, one of Ontario’s oldest environmental outdoors festivals in its 22-year, is adding new beats, and new activities for a full day of family fun and entertainment. “Wye Marsh Rhythm’s Festival” is a one day event on Saturday September 22 starting at 10:00 a.m. running through until 9:00 p.m. Cost is $25.00 for a family pass, or $8:00 per person, children 3 and under no charge.

When the gates open at 10:00 a.m. visitors will have their choice of more than 20 outdoor activities from live music on stage with a variety of local artists and their upbeat rhythms, face painting for the kids, birds of prey shows, canoe rides in large voyageur canoes, nature hikes and walks with guided nature interpretation, the sounds of wild turkey and moose calling, and several new activities.

Laurie Schutt, Executive Director at the Wye Marsh says “Each year there are new twists on environmental education and this year the Marsh will be conducting “Wind Walks” to see the new wind turbines used to harvest energy for the Marsh, helping to reduce our power costs.”

Many of the favorite activities are the woodcarvers exhibits, the wildflower gardener’s display, a chance to taste wild game, and the outdoor barbeque and beer garden. New this year will be a Celtic Dance performed by the Kempencelts.

“We continue to add family fun to help build environmental awareness with the visitors to the Wye Marsh. One of the favourite activities that bring families back every year are the canoe rides in our 9 seat voyager canoes….everybody gets to paddle at the same time and sometimes throw their arms up and cheer like our early explorers”, adds Schutt.

Wye Marsh Wildlife Centre is located 35 minutes northwest of Barrie Ontario in the heart of Southern Georgian Bay’s Historic Resort Destination in the Wye Valley, in Tay Township Midland Ontario. The Centre continues to provide improved outdoor experiences and environmental education for school groups, scouts and guides, and international visitors. The centre is open year round, seven days a week, allowing seasonal outdoor experiences in the winter, spring, summer and fall.
