together in a small community; reflecting on contemporary living in
order to.... adopt a basic and environmentally sound lifestyle
while.... ensuring individuals are valued and feel that they can make a
contribution to others and the environment.
Over 25 exotic
animals are displayed
in a very fascinating and very safe exhibit.
Every
animal is contained in their own sealed aquarium with up to three
handlers controlling everything that happens. The display is very
interactive and educational. Each handler can take out one animal at a
time to let people see, feel or hold them. In addition, the handlers
will tell the visitors all about each of the animals and the visitors
can ask as many questions as they would like. All of the animals are
well-trained and very used to all of the commotion at fairs and other
events. Interactive activity sheets are handed out to get the children
even more involved in identifying and learning about the animals. We
also provide a hand-sanitizing station for anyone who feels the need.

The Elwins
Ontario independent pop act The Elwins are a part of a vital practice of D.I.Y. pop eccentrics whose '60s swoon-worthy melodies unabashedly ignore current trends in indie music. This is a band that reminds one of exactly what can be very good about rock and roll; simplicity and solid songwriting backed by some naturally talented young musicians. The Elwins are a true gem among other independent artists.
The Elwins recently returned from a trip to Philadelphia and Seattle where they were arranging and recording their debut LP. Produced by Bill Moriarty (Dr. Dog, Man Man) and Ryan Hadlock (Stephen Malkmus, Metric, Islands, Blonde Redhead), and mixed by L. Stu Young (Prince, Sum-41), this record promises to be the fresh sound the indie music scene needs.
Matthew Sweeney’s voice, unrefined and appetizing, melds well with the quirky and memorable lyrics, at the same time leading the band with guitar riffs that stay with you long after hearing them. Travis Stokl, a pop savvy drummer, co-writes the songs with Sweeney, bringing his catchy rhythm that undoubtedly leaves toes-a-tapping. The bassist and longtime friend Feurd backs things up with a solid moustache.
The Elwins' charm and blissful attitude is a unique addition to the Canadian music scene. Their self-titled EP has sold a multitude of copies, garnering North American and European audiences to follow. Time spent with the boys can range from a peculiar conversation about dynamics and chord structures, to a spontaneous improvised performance, notably watching them switch instruments effortlessly. They've played at festivals such as Halifax Pop Explosion, Canadian Music Week and they made their American debut playing SXSW in Austin this year. They have shared the stage with friends Toyko Police Club as well as Sweet Thing, The Coast, Maylee Todd, and The Bicycles.
The Elwins distinctive sound and natural aptitude for writing upbeat and luminous pop tunes have promptly launched them as a clear-cut contender in the Canadian music scene. Their forthcoming album promises to take everything loved about the EP and live performances and turns things up to level 10, taking it beyond anything we’ve heard from them thus far. They are currently performing their high-energy shows locally and around the continent. You can catch their quirky sense of humour on their video blogs and posts, where they show their love of cats, sewing, paisley and of course, music.
Back again for this year's Sutton
