W ell it is the season that we all wait for, well most of us, Summer. This is the time of year when we are either packing up the RV and heading out with the family or putting the roof down and heading to the beach. Whether riding on two wheels, four wheels or six you are planning out your weekend events or just hitting the open roadwith the top down to see where the road takes you. Regardless of what your plans are get out and enjoy yourself. Whether it is that family vacation to the Grand Canyon in the state of Arizona, or The Calgary Stampede in Alberta enjoy

the time that you have and send us pictures of the places that you went.
As a team we always like to hear about events and see where our readers and viewers are going and have been. So keep in touch on whether your travels are on or off the road as we like to hear from you. We are sure your travels will have you at a festival or event this Summer, and we are very excited about partnering with the Cavendish Beach Music Festival this Summer. Jeff Squires, President of the Cavendish Beach Music Festival knows a thing or two about festivals and running a successful business as he is also the President of the PEI Brewing Company which is a major sponsor of the festival. Jeff Squires passion for Prince Edwards Island is second to none. Jeff has taken an idea to draw tourists to Prince Edwards Island during the tourist season, a season which the province is largely dependent on, into the largest music festival in Atlantic Canada. The Cavendish Beach Music Festival, now in its eighth year, has spotlighted the best in country music with past artists like; Reba McEntire, Tim McGraw, Keith Urban, Little Big Town, Taylor Swift, Lady Antebellum, Brad Paisley, Toby Keith, Eric Church, Dierks Bentley, Alabama and Rascal Flatts. This year is no exception with Blake Shelton, Kenny Chesney and The Band Perry as this year’s headliners for the festival. It is no wonder why this event attracts more than 70,000 concert goers over the three day music event, which pumps millions into the Prince Edwards Island economy. We know that Jeff and his team put an amazing amount of time into The Cavendish Beach Music Festival to make it a success as do the people that organize and run other festivals and events but we also need to remember the sponsors of these events as without them there is no event or festival. It is their marketing dollars that allow these events to continue so please remember them when spending your vacation money this Summer and all year for that matter. So we hope you can join us at Cavendish Beach this year, but if you can’t please follow us on social media for all your updates on events and we wish you all the very best and that you are safe regardless where your road travels.
