Toronto: September 14, 2015. Whether you visit your cottage year round, or only
get there during the warmer months, now is the time to start planning next
year’s big projects for your retreat.
The
Fall Cottage Life Show, featuring more than 200 exhibitors, happens October 23-25, 2015, at The International Centre. If you want
to be ready for next spring, now is
the time to start researching your new deck, ordering a new dock, planning a
renovation, finalizing the budget, or doing a teardown and starting from
scratch.
The
show is dedicated
to cottage and country home renovations, construction, building products,
design, and architectural services along with the fun stuff like boats, docks,
water toys, arts and decor, food and drink, furnishings for indoors and out,
and finding those holiday or special gifts. Anyone who owns or dreams of owning
a cottage, camp, chalet, country home, or rural retreat, or those who just like
to relax in their own backyard, are welcome to come and spend some time at our
cottage at the Fall Cottage Life Show.
In
addition to more than 200 exhibitors who are all experts in their fields, there
are free seminars on the Cottage Life
Main Stage including real estate topics, legal issues, DIY and reno advice.
Meet
the stars of Cottage Life television!
Rob Serediuk, host of What’s For Sale? will give advice to
wannabe cottagers looking to buy a piece of paradise. The host of Reno
My Reno, Dave Depencier will
share some dramatic before and after cottage renos, wrapped up with great
advice for anyone looking to take on their own project. And Marty & Bam Bam, the affable duo
from antique picking show Backroad Bounty will entertain you
with tales from the trails. They just finished filming season 2 exploring the
flea markets, antique barns, and junkyards of Ontario’s cottage country.
The
Dock Party is where you can sample
craft beers, wines, cider, and spirits, with
ticket
sales benefitting the Cottage Dreams
Cancer Recovery Initiative. (http://www.cottagedreams.ca/about/
It’s a great way to raise funds for this
important
charity, while raising a glass with friends.
Step
inside the model cottage built by Canada
Builds. This two-bedroom, two-bathroom charmer is designed for easy
vacation living. Styled by Lakeshore Designs, all the décor you will see is
available from the show exhibitors – see it, like it, buy it!
The Great Outdoors, sponsored by Subaru,
features the famous Haliburton Forest
Sled Dogs demonstrating what
it’s like to experience a winter trail ride. The folks at Wild Ontario will bring their fine-feathered friends including a
barn owl, a falcon, and other birds of prey. And the educators from Scales
Nature Park will bring their wet and scaly friends with turtles and snakes on
display. Get up close and ask questions about how these animals thrive and
survive our cold Ontario winters.
Everybody’s
favourite handyman, Wayne Lennox
will be building a practical little outbuilding that could be used for a shed
or a sleeping cabin. Store your tools there, or your in-laws - you decide! The Cottage Workshop is sponsored by
Timber Mart.
New to the show,
the Makeful Market is an expo of
cottage handcrafters and artisans who produce everything from ironwork,
reclaimed barnboard art, wood carvings, handmade food, pottery, bespoke kitchen
