Fall is arriving fast and the trees are starting to turn. Our large maple has several red branches which are catching the sun right now and looking beautiful.
At Thanksgiving there is the Images Studio Tour in the region. There are some amazing artists around Orillia and area and are well worth a visit.
Also at Thanksgiving there is the Rama Pow-wow in the village of Rama. Another must for a visit.
We are rapidly filling up over the weekend, but there are still a few vacancies.
Come and see us at Betty and Tony's before the winter sets in.

We have a room available for the Orillia Scottish Festival from Friday to Monday because of a cancelation. Do you want to come to the Festival? It starts with a fabulous Ceilegh on the Friday evening, a big parade on Saturday at noon and then events all day in Couchiching Beach Park - massed bands, dancers, competitions and retailers. A wonderful weekend in Orillia!

Betty and Tony's B&B is ready for summer! The gardens look wonderful and the canoe is sitting waiting to be taken out.
Our board walk and sea wall have just been fixed up and leveled beautifully by Terry Knappett Enterprises. Terry came in by 60 foot barge with a huge backhoe on board and adjusted the steel wall and releveled the boardwalk. He didn't interfere with one plant or blade of grass. Very impressive. Terry does a lot of work on Lakes Couchiching, Simcoe and Sparrow because of his barge and expertise. He also builds some beautiful custom homes and sea walls.
We recommend his website at www.terryknappettenterprises.com. We have no hesitation in recommending his work.
Terry has a charming personality and is currently working to get his many children through university. He lives in Severn Bridge Hamlet on Sparrow Lake.
Come and sit beside our water and enjoy your summer reading.

Bailey passed away on April 10th., 2011 in St. Louis, Missouri on our way home from Florida. We were caught in a 31 degree heatwave and she could just not get enough oxygen.
She was a wonderful dog and enjoyed by many of our guests, many of whom will miss her on their visits.
She had a wonderful winter in Florida with good health and in comfort. It was a pleasure to have her with us.
We miss her dearly, but can remember so many happy memories of her long life with us here. She turned 14 on January 21st.

We look forward to seeing our friends and guests during the 2011 season.
