EDITOR’S NOTE

ESSENTIALS

D

ear Readers,

We're halfway through summer already! Lately, I've been busy sorting out my parents' estate and closing up the sale of their home. It’s been a real education for me.

However, I've also taken the time to enjoy the season, especially my trip to Nashville for the CMA Fest. If you're into country music like me, check out my article in this issue where I talk about the festival.

To add a little magic to our Summer, spending time with my three-year-old grandson has been amazing. Whether we're hanging out at home or having fun at Canada's Wonderland, seeing him discover new things is like reliving my own childhood. We're looking forward to taking him camping soon, hoping he'll love the outdoors as much as we do.

In this magazine issue, you'll find lots of great ideas for things to do this summer in our area. From tasty recipes to cool products and interesting travel stories, we've put it all together with your enjoyment in mind.

We'd love to hear from you, so if you have any thoughts, suggestions, or informational content that you'd like to see from our advertisers, send us an email at info@homesplusmagazine.com.

Dive into Summer Fun

Hosting an Unforgettable Pool Party

By Francine Gall & Codi Keller

As the temperatures rise and the sun shines brightly, there's no better way to celebrate summer than with an exciting pool party right in your own backyard. Whether you're hosting friends, family, or both, here’s your complete guide to ensuring your at-home pool party is a splashing success.

Prepare Your Pool

3

Safety First

Safety should always be a priority, especially when water is involved.

Always have a designated water watcher. In larger groups, we’re often easily distracted and tend to assume someone else is watching.

1

Before the party kicks off, it’s essential to get your pool in pristine condition. Start by cleaning the pool thoroughly, skimming off debris, and ensuring the water is sparkling clear. Test the water chemistry and adjust the pH levels if needed. Make sure your pool equipment such as filters and pumps are in good working order.

Set the Scene

2

Create a festive and inviting atmosphere around your pool area. Decorate with colorful bunting, inflatable pool toys, and string lights to set a lively mood.

Consider setting up a designated area for towels, sunscreen, and other pool essentials so guests can easily access them.

20

Ensure there are enough life vests and flotation devices available, especially for children and weaker swimmers. Clearly mark the shallow and deep ends of the pool and make sure there is adequate lighting if the party extends into the evening.

Plan Your Menu

4

5

Create a Comfortable Seating Area

Set up comfortable seating areas around the pool where guests can relax and socialize between swims. Arrange lounge chairs, umbrellas, and perhaps some outdoor cushions or bean bags for added comfort. Provide shaded areas for those who prefer to stay out of the direct sun.

Plan Poolside Entertainment

7

Stay Sun Smart

Ensure your guests stay protected from the sun’s rays by providing sunscreen and encouraging its use throughout the day. Set up shaded areas with umbrellas or pop-up tents where guests can retreat when they need a break from the sun.

Capture Memories

No pool party is complete without delicious food and refreshing drinks. Keep the menu simple and easy to eat outdoors.

Consider options that can be prepared ahead of time so you can spend more time enjoying the party. Some ideas include: Grilled favourites, fresh salads, cooling treats and refreshing beverages.

6

Keep the party lively with a range of poolside activities and games.

Depending on your space and the preferences of your guests, consider activities such as Pool Volleyball, water balloon toss and music and dancing

8

Designate a photo area with props and backdrops where guests can take fun photos to remember the day. Consider hiring a photographer or setting up a photo booth with a Polaroid camera for instant keepsakes.

With these tips, host an unforgettable pool party everyone will love. Get ready to make a splash and cherish summer memories with loved ones.

Summer fun in the village of

Blue Mountain with Property Valet

­

After a long winter with boys in rep hockey, my friends and I were ready for a relaxing summer getaway! Blue Mountain Village seemed like an ideal destination for us to enjoy with our kids. It’s a beautiful, scenic drive from K-W to Collingwood, getting you to the Village in under two hours.

Property Valet had everything covered; Our rental condo was perfect for our group. As soon as we walked in, we were welcomed with a bright, clean and modern space. The condo included a full kitchen with a dishwasher, complete laundry room facilities, an outdoor patio with a bbq, and plenty of space for everyone with two full bathrooms. We stayed at Mountain Walk which was just steps from the bustling village. Property Valet vacation rentals has many beautiful rental properties available and listed on their website; propertyvalet.ca Short term rentals are available in The Blue Mountains, Downtown Collingwood and Mont-Tremblant Quebec to name a few, with plans to open in Revelstoke in the fall. They carefully personalize your stay with comfortable accommodations no matter your group size, and have a team providing you with quality guest experiences and recommendations.

24

There is so much to do in Blue Mountain from zip-lining over the mountain, to mountaintop segway tours, gondola rides & scenic hiking. We opted to purchase Play All Day passes which gives you access to all of the activities (depending on age restrictions). Our kids loved the Timber Challenge High Ropes course and the Ridge Runner Mountain Coaster! We also spent a beautiful sunny day enjoying the Blue Mountain Private Beach Club that included access to non motorized boating activities, beach volleyball, parking and clean, well maintained amenities. The passes can be purchased in the Village, and the beach is a short 9 minute drive along the coast of Georgian Bay. In your downtime, Blue Mountain has a variety of quaint shops and plenty of dining options to suit your taste & mood! You can also enjoy live music, and outdoor movies at night. We enjoyed breakfast at Sunset Grill, refreshing cocktails at Copper Blues and a casual dinner by the water at Northwinds Brewpub. You can find an abundance of ice cream shops, cafe’s and sweets to enjoy as well, and pick up some treats to take home. While planning your stay check out the event calendar, as well as all of the dining and activity information found right on Property Valet’s website.

My stay at a Property Valet rental can attest to this as it was truly a luxury home away from home. We had everything we needed to enjoy a comfortable, worry-free stay.

A Fun, Lively & Hilarious Show

Something Rotten! at the Stratford Festival Written by: Trina Stewart and Alissa McGill

Imagine a lively comedy set in Renaissance England, where everyone's talking about Shakespeare. "Something Rotten!" at the Stratford Festival brings this era to life with lots of laughs, dancing and music.

The play, directed by Donna Feore, is full of energy and jokes that will keep you smiling throughout the show. The actors, especially Mark Uhre & Henry Firmston as brothers Nick & Nigel Bottom, bring a lot of humour to their roles, not to mention the hilarious & memorable character Thomas Nostradamus, played by Dan Chameroy.

The story is about Nick Bottom, who is tired of Shakespeare getting all of the accolades and attention. He and his brother Nigel set out to create the world's first musical, and their adventures are both funny and heartwarming.

The music and dancing featured in the show is catchy and fun, mixing different styles to create lively songs that make you want to dance in your seat. The beautiful costumes and sets really capture the feeling of being in Renaissance England.

"Something Rotten!" is not just a play—it's a celebration of creativity, following your dreams, and staying true to yourself. It's perfect for anyone who loves a good laugh and enjoys musicals. By the end of the show, you'll leave with a big smile on your face, feeling like you've been on a wonderful, immersive journey with the characters.

Exploring Nashville During CMA Fest

By Trina Stewart

Nashville, known as Music City, comes alive in June during the CMA Fest, drawing music enthusiasts from around the world. My partner and I attended this year’s festivities and took in the beautiful southern charm we eagerly anticipated.

Here’s how to make the most of your trip beyond the festival itself:

Choose your location

Upon arrival, settle into a hotel, ideally, if you have the budget, close to downtown Broadway. During CMA Fest, prices are astronomical for a downtown venue. We chose to stay near Opryland and ventured downtown using Uber or Taxi.

If you up for diversity, a few short blocks away you can find Printer’s Alley. The nightclubs opened here in the 1940s, and the alley became a showcase for the talents of performers such as Boots Randolph, Chet Atkins, Waylon Jennings, Dottie West, The Supremes, Hank Williams, Barbara Mandrell, and Jimi Hendrix. Today’s nightclubs are the descendants of the saloons, speakeasies, and clubs which developed into the entertainment district still known as Printers Alley.

Visit Broadway

This famous street is lined with honky-tonks and live music venues, offering an authentic taste of Nashville's music scene. Spend the afternoon hopping between bars, enjoying performances by local artists and soaking up the lively atmosphere. Broadway is PACKED during CMA Fest but we enjoyed venturing into the honkytonks during the day.

42

Get an early start and head downtown to Fan Fair X where you can meet artists, try out new gear, and enjoy interactive exhibits. Head outside to explore the downtown CMA stages. Enjoy live music with thousands of other country music fans. Watch various record label accounts to get into exclusive shows happening on rooftops within the core of downtown Nashville.

Food and Drink Experience

Book your tickets early to enjoy nightly performances at Nissan Stadium. The stadium hosts the best in country music and is a broadcast for a later date. Since this is a broadcast, expect an amazing night, ah-ha moments, and delays in performances.

Cultural Exploration

Nashville is renowned for its food scene, so dedicate a day to indulging in local flavours. Start with a Southern-style brunch at spots like Biscuit Love or The Loveless Cafe, famous for their biscuits and gravy. For lunch, dive into Nashville’s iconic hot chicken—a spicy specialty that’s a must-try.

In the evening, explore Nashville’s craft beer and whiskey scene. Visit Fat Bottom Brewing Co or Tennessee Brew Works for locally brewed beers, and then head to a whiskey distillery like Nelson’s Green Brier Distillery or Corsair Distillery for tastings and tours.

Take a break from music to explore Nashville’s cultural offerings. Start at the Country Music Hall of Fame, where exhibits showcase the history and evolution of country music. Don’t miss artifacts from legends like Johnny Cash and exhibits on contemporary stars. Afterward, visit the Frist Art Museum for a dose of visual arts, featuring a range of exhibitions from classical to modern.

In the afternoon, unwind at Centennial Park, home to the Parthenon replica. Relax by the lake or explore the park’s gardens and walking trails. It’s a peaceful retreat from the festival crowds, offering scenic views and a chance to recharge.

The Old Town Trolley provides a much needed break after miles of walking from stage to stage. They offer unlimited hop-on & hop-off as often as you like all day long. It’s a great experience where you can explore Nashville and learn about its history.

Whether you danced on Broadway, met or listened to your favourite artists at CMA Fest, or explored the city’s cultural and culinary delights, you’ve experienced the best of Music City.

Nashville during CMA Fest combines live music, cultural discovery, and Southern cuisine. It’s a city where music resonates throughout the streets, and each corner holds its own unique story, creating an unforgettable destination for music enthusiasts. We’ll be coming back next year to see and experience more of that Tennessee Vibe!
