A brief report of today's Como Lake Festival before I head out to work again.
Thank you for those who came out and joined us today.

This was probably the best event so far this year. The Como Watershed Group put on a colourful, festive and educational show for all ages. It was extremely well done I thought. I liked the aquatic insect tub where everyone was staring at for hours to identify little critters. The band was a big attraction that drew a big crowd. For a small scale community event, this was certainly impressive. I even won a draw prize. I've never won draw prizes! I got myself a Quantum hat, some chocolate and some small animal on a boat thiny toy.

We had the kids fly tying workshop going on again, and of course with the lovely fly instructors we had, we drew a big crowd.

It's a lovely lake indeed. I always thought Como Lake is a small industrial pond that has been abandoned and left to rot. Not so! The rising trout were making me itch, too bad it's age restricted.

Maybe I'll take my dad fishing there instead.
