We were greeted by pouring rain this morning before we even took our first step, so we decided to shorten our route. One hiker kindly shared an extra rain jacket, while our poncho-wearing hikers reminded the rest of us of a practical lesson: on a day like this, a simple rain poncho can sometimes keep you drier than even a waterproof jacket.
Despite the rain, there were plenty of smiles and laughter, and we ended the hike with hot coffee, warm conversations, and good company.
Home County is more than a music festival—it’s a community tradition. Throughout the day, many of our members stopped by the Thames Valley Trail Association booth to say hello and check in with our volunteers.
One of my favorite moments was watching a young girl stop by to check in on her favorite person—her granddad. It’s little moments like these that remind us what community is all about. 🥾🌿
A heartfelt thank you to our amazing volunteers: Virginia, Karen, Carmen, Kenn, Peggy Anne, Ralph, and Shengping. And thanks to Peggy Anne for all her work organizing and coordinating the event. 🎪🎶🎼🎤🪕🪇🥾
Thanks again!☕️

Saturday morning turned out to be a great time for a hike through the Smokey Hollow section of the Bruce Trail.
After a leisurely 10 kilometre hike we enjoyed a nice lunch on the patio at the Royal Coachman’s Pub in Waterdown.
