BANGUS COUNTY—This year’s Bangus County's popular Days of Discover festival promises, thrills, music and plenty of fun to last the four–day festival which has grown from a local celebration or arts and local history into something quite unrecognizable. It’s a much anticipated boost for the tiny picturesque village that is situated where the rambling Rexaconta River meets the humble Ottawa River.
“It’s a good thing for all the vendors that come from out of town and for all the local bands that want to play for free. I sold some bottled tap water last year which helped off-set the cost of fixing the toilet after a woman from Sarnia tried to flush six diapers” says one local businessman. “This year, no one is using my bathroom no matter how bad they have to go.”
Some anticipated highlights of this year’s festival:
• Historical re-enactment of public floggings. For one Loonie, you can flog a man in a bear suit for three minutes.
• Horace the High Wire Horse will walk tight-rope from the Tri-Crosses, across the Ottawa River to Explorers Point. 9 shows daily for three days before he is drawn and quartered and sold off as souvenirs.
• Have your picture taken with the guy (Lonnie) who used to go to high school in Scarborough with Geddy Lee from Rush.
• Performances by music legends Saga, featuring Lonnie, the guy who used to go to high school in Scarborough with Geddy Lee from Rush
