It's snowing again here in Ottawa today, but I did get our bikes on the road; my neighbour's crocuses are in full bloom; and the ski stuff is back in the basement. Another major sign of spring is the Cottage Life and Big Back Yard show at Landsdowne Park this coming weekend. My back yard is microscopic but Ask Around summer HQ is an island in Georgian Bay, so this show is one of my favourites.
If I sometimes seem obsessed with plumbing and plumbers you now know why. City dwellers take plumbing for granted, until it goes wrong; but island life forces me to face plumbing issues frequently and forthrightly; the alternatives are too smelly to contemplate. I am a huge composting toilet fan - wonderful green technology for fragile ecosystems and careful cottagers - so when Scott from Envirolet offered free tickets for the Cottage Life Show there was loud cheering here at Ask Around.
This is the deal: Scott has given me 2 free tickets for the Cottage Life and Big Back Yard Show for Ask Around members, courtesy of Envirolet. Interested? To get your name into the draw recommend a local business at AskAround.ca before 12:00 noon on Thursday April 11. Ask Around members can also forward this week's newsletter to a friend (cc wendy@askaround.ca) to have both your names entered for the draw.
On Thursday I will let winner(s) know where to pick up their prize. The rest of us can buy discounted tickets online here.
Good luck - see you at the show. I'll be at booth 1326 in the Aberdeen Pavillion talking to Scott about Envirolet vacuum flush systems . . .

for the Ask Around draw. Her blog has amazing resources for Cottage
