8 Great Tuesdays

Throughout July and August, Port Erie brings "8 Great Tuesdays" down at the Liberty Park - Pepsi Amphitheatre.

This is a great family friendly event to sit back, relax and enjoy some live music. You can get a list of the upcoming artists on Port Erie's website http://www.porterie.org/. This Tuesday the 11th will feature a Kiss tribute band!

There is additional parking available at the Blasco Library and Intermodel Center, where you can hop on a shuttle to take you over to the show.

So get your best Rocker clothes on and head down to the bay for some beautiful scenery, great music and good Erie company!

Discover Presque Isle

Every Year thousands of locals and visitors set out to "Discover" Presque Isle. Enjoy the beach, shop for some arts and crafts, or just stop down to support the cause to keep Presque Isle clean!

You'll find some good tunes, you can go for a walk, or setup a picnic! Your options are what you make of them!

Let us hope the weather holds out and produces a nice weekend for once!

Laugh till your face hurts

Funny gal Julia Lillis is returning home to her native Erie lands! You don't want to miss this quick-witted blonde cover a variety of topics that are sure to make your jaw sore all night!

Julia has been a busy girl since leaving Erie. She's been to South Korea and Guantanamo Bay entertaining the troops and making herself well-known in the LA area. Julia's not just cracking you up on a stage but on TV, radio and everywhere else she is!

Where will Julia be performing? None other then the Jr's Last Laugh Comedy Club. Make sure you pencil in This TUESDAY JULY 14th at 8pm to be there and not so bored that night! $15 will get you in with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the John Kanzius Cancer Research Foundation.

Go.... Get your Laugh On!

Golf

Erie actually has an abundance of golf courses available to play. Whether you are looking for a quick 9-holes or a scenic 18, Erie probably has what you need.
I've found a pretty good reference for golf courses is www.eriegolfcourses.com to find any course around the Erie county.
Good Luck and remember, just have fun!

Walks

This time of year begins the start of many local non-profits charity walks. The Autism and March of Dimes walks will be over the weekend.
Many of these non-profit do amazing work in trying to obtain their goals and missions. People from all around come to participate and walk for whatever cause they support.
I will be walking in the March of Dimes walk this weekend, Sunday at 1p.m. down at Waldameer onto Presque Isle. The walk is 6.2 miles long, but with the wonderful weather coming our way, it shouldn't be too harsh!
I hope you take the time to go out and support a cause you believe in. These walks help raise money and spread awareness in the local community. Do you part and hit the pavement sometime this year!

Cross Country Skiing

Sorry for the long delay of posts, life got crazy!

Anyone in Erie this time of year needs to find a hobby to get them out and enjoy the snow instead of hating it from the indoors. Embrace the weather around you and take time to learn cross country skiing. I am glad my husband took the time to talk me into this sport. I am still learning, but I've gotten better since my outings last season!

When you cross country ski you get a workout, so you're not FREEZING from the constant motion, and it's a great way to check out more Erie has to offer! We've been to Wilderness Lodge, Asbury Park and a field out in Fairview... can't remember the name of it!

I encourage you to borrow a friends ski's, go to the Lodge and rent skis, or be brave and buy a pair because you will love it. I know our dog always enjoys the trips we take out. Gives her a chance to run free in beautiful Erie as well!

Go, get out there to that beautiful white stuff that surrounds us!
