Tourism Burlington: Increasing in Popularity Each Day

Hello world and those of you reading this from alien planets,

First and foremost, we have two new followers. Lauren and Sharon bring our followers up to 9- a whopping 29% increase. And after only two blogs this year! Is it just us or is our charm and humor infecting the population more rapidly?

Onto more Tourism-related news. The Sound of Music was pretty much the most exciting musical experience that has ever graced your soul in the matter of four days. There were 25,000 attendants Thursday night, which shattered all previous Thursday night attendance records. As one woman once said to us, “never underestimate the power of a free Marianas Trench concert”. The fireworks Saturday night drew a large audience as well. They were very captivating- not unlike your Travel Counsellors. We would also like to thank Mother Nature for holding down her end of the bargain. We pay you and you give us good weather. It seems like a fair bargain.

It’s been a while since we gave you a glimpse into the glamour and intrigue of our day-to-day lives, so here’s a little overview:
08:00: Dania and Alyssa start work.
08:02: Dania takes out the sign. Alyssa updates the whiteboard and turns on WORLD CUP SOCCER.

11:00-13:30: Dania and Celine man the fort while Kat and Alyssa go on a Top Secret Mission to recruit allies and distribute information regarding our upcoming and fabulous event, a Taste of Burlington (Shameless plug: A Taste of Burlington features 23 of Burlington’s finest restaurants offering prix-fixe lunch and/or dinner menus!

One last update before we depart – Canada Day festivities will be held at Spencer Smith Park next Thursday July 1st. They will kick off at 8:30am with the Canada Day 5km run and conclude with a fireworks display of awesome at 10:00pm. There will also be FREE BREAKFAST at 9:30am (while quantities last). It is going to be fantastic.

More to come next week. Until then…

Stand by,
K&A.
