The arrival of Labour Day weekend has a definte psychological effect on me each year. The unofficial end of summer, it brings mixed emotions as I reflect on all of the summer activities and events that transpired. The Red Bull Air Races, Bluesfest, Windsor International Airshow and the many festivals, fairs and concerts all combined to entertain the people of Windsor/Essex and Metro Detroit area. Hopefully you got out to some of these events and support the efforts of the volunteers and organizers.
Regrettably one of my favorite happenings, The Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix will not be held this year due the area current economic state. This high octane display of competition and horsepower served to bookend the summer season and provide a yearly fix for open wheel racing enthusiasts such as myself.
We are blessed to live in area where there is so to do and see and maybe sometimes take it all for granted. Supporting local events is not only a great way to get out and see friends and experience different cultures but also stimulates the economy and provides a living for many of the hard working individuals who are involved.
With the fall season knocking on our door (you mean its going to get cooler?) take the opportuntity to make the most of the season while its still nice out. Go for a walk, get out that bicycle, go out on the boat or take a long motorcycle ride just for fun. We'll be cursing the cold and snow soon enough. Oops did I say snow? A thousand lashes with a shovel and a handful of road salt down my back for that one.
Live it up!
