New Years Day Fizzle?

Well, New Years has come and gone again for another year. Windsor and Essex County residents celebrated in style, partying at bars, restaurants, clubs and halls. The family event held at Lanspeary Park featured free skating, music and fireworks and was met with great success. Hats off to AM800 for sponsoring the event and to Arms and Heidi for a fantastic job in hosting. The placement of New Years eve on a Friday meant that New Years Day would be on a Saturday. Party on right? Well it seemed that everyone must have still been in recovery mode because the downtown area was eerily empty for a weekend evening. It seems that going out on New Years Day night was not in a lot of people’s plans. I did talk to some folks that were attending the Maroon 5 concert at Caesars but for the most part it was a pretty quiet day. What was your favourite thing to do on New Years Day?

The Circus Comes to Town

Today the famed Cirque du Soleil comes to Windsor for a series of shows at the WFCU Centre. Combining circus entertainment with art, acrobatics and music Cirque du Soleil is performing a blend of Eastern performances with Western circus influences. The Dragon (East) and the Lion (West) come together in their latest performance called fittingly “Dralion”. World class performers and athletes and stunning special effects make any Cirque de Soleil event something you will remember. I was fortunate enough to see the troupe in Montreal under a circus tent at the ports of the Quay and was amazed at the level of showmanship and production value. Before or after the show make an effort to try a new restaurant. With a multitude of diversified dining establishments in and around the Windsor area there has never been a better time to try a specialty dinner for a reasonable price. Whether its Thai, Indian, Italian or Chinese there’s always something different to try. Sampling food from other cultures is a great way to expand your horizons and maybe even make new friends. Make this weekend an international affair and tour the world without even leaving Essex County!

Cirque du Soleil performs 8 shows and is town thru Wed thru Sunday. Go to http://www.wfcu-centre.com/ for tickets and info.
