It was a gorgeous weekend for the Ottawa River Festival, July 3 to 5. Hundreds of people lined the shores from Rockland to Chute-à-Blondeau to enjoy festivities along the way. The Poker Run High Performance boats took off fromHawkesbury Saturdaymorning, with onlookers filling up every spot along the shore to catch a glimpse of these fabulous boats. Several Mustangs cruised by as they arrived in Hawkesbury from the Rockland Poker Run. Just about every generation of
Mustang drove by, along with a few other interesting vehicles. Themidway got started in Confederation Park Friday afternoon, and ran through until Sunday afternoon. Kids of all ages enjoyed the rides, the games, and the concessions.
