We asked him what he’s been up to while the restaurant has been closed and he explained that he’s moved around the resort as different food and beverage options have opened and closed with the seasons including the Kandahar Restaurant Inn Café during the winter and the Summit View Pavilion at the top of Blue during the summer months.</p><p style="background-color: #fbfbfb; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0px 0px 10.5px; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="375" src="https://www.mycollingwood.ca/custom/domain_1/image_files/ckeditor/sitemgr_IMG_2440.jpg" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; vertical-align: middle;" width="500" /></p><p style="background-color: #fbfbfb; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0px 0px 10.5px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Chef Oleg celebrated his 5<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 11.25px; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;">th</span> anniversary working for Blue Mountain Resort in September and in August, he and his wife Christine welcomed their first child, baby boy Luka to the world!

The salad had the perfect balance of dressing, a tangy zip from the parmesan and the house made croutons added a nice crunch.</p><p style="background-color: #fbfbfb; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646;

margin: 0px 0px 10.5px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">The Pottery Restaurant is named after the original Blue Mountain Pottery found on display in the dining room. They are original examples of the famous product produced by Jozo Weider, the founder of Blue Mountain Resort.</p><p style="background-color: #fbfbfb; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0px 0px 10.5px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">From its earliest beginnings in the Blue Mountain Ski Barn during the early 1950’s, Blue Mountain Pottery expanded into an enterprise supplementing Jozo’s ski operation by being a year-round revenue generator. In the beginning, visitors to the showrooms were frequently entertained by Jozo or other craftsmen demonstrating their art using a potter’s wheel.</p><p style="background-color: #fbfbfb; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0px 0px 10.5px; overflow-wrap: break-word;"> </p>Out and Abouthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13137889448794594190noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235900853689526814.post-73273442956619613102021-01-07T14:31:00.004-05:002021-01-07T14:31:21.347-05:00Take-Out & Delivery from local Restaurants, Caterers, Grocery Delivery & Craft Beverages<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyre_YTS0CTROxxVAgOsK5XH2-4tzL_PMfHFWyWF2EGC7DUals1unQxjkpIz0ppJmdH0TjmF4ZFQ9rlEyuKTHncKeTcqbPMeGWm00_NaBC1iaUyHJ41kXMJQL8OGp8iCR91F2RqdKH2vM/s400/pasta1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="266" data-original-width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyre_YTS0CTROxxVAgOsK5XH2-4tzL_PMfHFWyWF2EGC7DUals1unQxjkpIz0ppJmdH0TjmF4ZFQ9rlEyuKTHncKeTcqbPMeGWm00_NaBC1iaUyHJ41kXMJQL8OGp8iCR91F2RqdKH2vM/s320/pasta1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="background-color: #fbfbfb; color: #464646; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="background-color: #fbfbfb; color: #464646; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: #fbfbfb; color: #464646; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">In an effort to provide you with some resources and also support our small business community in the food and beverage industry, we've complied a list of resources available to you.

We were tipped off that The Pottery Restaurant; one of our local favourite dining establishments is now offering all-you-can-eat Mussels every Tuesday evening, so Dan and I thought we’d check it out. </div>
<div style="background-color: #fbfbfb; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10.5px; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-align: center;">

We were professionally greeted by Ellie at the hostess stand, a lovely young lady who is visiting our area from the UK, and working at her first job in the food and beverage industry. She led us to what happens to be our favourite table at The Pottery, right in front of the massive fireplace that was throwing off some night heat on a chilly winter evening.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fbfbfb; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10.5px; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-align: center;">

We were delighted to find that Carol Thompson was our server for the evening. Carol is a Team Lead at The Pottery and has been working at Blue Mountain Resort for over 30 years which we think is really quite incredible. Carol offers amazing customer service, is very knowledgeable about the menu offerings and it’s always a delight to see her.</div>

Carol explained that they were offering two varieties of mussels to choose from. We could order either Beer & Bruschetta Mussels made with Creemore Springs Lot 9 or the Red Thai Curry Mussels. As both choices were something neither Dan nor I had ever tasted, we decided to order a pound of each to start with.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fbfbfb; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10.5px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">
We ordered a nice, very reasonably priced bottle of wine to kick off dinner and a lovely little loaf of Rosemary Focaccia bread, with dipping oil, infused with herbs and chili flakes arrived at our table. Absolutely delicious!</div>

The main event, one pound of steaming hot mussels for each of us was served in beautiful bowls with more bread for dipping. The aroma was fantastic! Half-way through, we swapped bowls so that each of us could try each variety. They were absolutely delicious! My favourite was the Beer & Bruschetta Mussels and Dan liked the Red Thai Curry Mussels the best, so much so, he ordered another ½ pound.</div>

We were lucky that Chef Oleg Bazavic, had time to pop out of the kitchen to see how we enjoyed our meal. It was really nice to be able to meet him, find out a little bit more about his culinary journey and discover how he made his way to Blue Mountain. It turns out that Chef Oleg moved to Canada with his family when he was 7 years old from Serbia. He did his culinary training at the Niagara Food & Wine Institute with co-op placements in Muskoka and achieved his Red Seal Chef certification in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Like so many people that move to the area, Chef Oleg loves to ski and tries to get out on slopes as often as he can. He’s recently engaged and looking forward to his upcoming wedding in August at one of our local wineries.</div>

Spectacular lights. Sensational sounds. It’s a one-kilometer winter stroll through the heights of innovation to the edge of your imagination. Follow the trail along beautiful, tree-lined pedestrian streets and pathways through the Village and around the Mill pond to discover magical, mega-watt light displays. From the “Ice Garden” to the “Enchanted Forest” and through the “Mind Warp”, to name a few, it’s an exciting and interactive adventure sure to spark the imagination of the whole family. The journey ends in the Events Plaza where the illuminated “Dream Tree” is the focus of an amazing visual and musical display every hour on the hour. And, new this year, each creative installation will “dance to the music” - also on the hour from dusk to 10 pm – making it a truly multi-sensory experience. All of this plus fireworks at 8:15 Saturday nights in December!</span><br style="background-color: #fbfbfb; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" /><span style="background-color: #fbfbfb; color: #464646; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"> </span><br />

After nearly forty years of marriage, Joan and Joe Castleman are complements. Where Joe is casual, Joan is elegant. And where Joe enjoys his very public role as Great American Novelist, Joan pours her considerable intellect, grace, charm, and diplomacy into the private role of Great Man's Wife. The Wife interweaves the story of the couple's youthful passion and ambition with a portrait of a marriage, thirty-plus years later--a lifetime's shared compromises, secrets, betrayals, and mutual love.

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We decided to go on a tour of the retail shops in the <a href="http://bluemountainvillage.ca/">Blue Mountain Village</a> to see what kind of unique gifts we could find. Andrew Siegwart and Meghan Harwood came along to introduce us to some of the shop owners, do a bit of modeling and taste testing. We had a ridiculous amount of fun and found some pretty great Christmas gifts that will take care of everyone on your list.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Did you know that most shops in the Blue Mountain Village are open from 10AM until 9PM daily, including Christmas Day? Plus you can take in the <a href="http://bluemountainvillage.ca/blumination">Blumination Dream Trail</a> each evening from 5PM-10PM with a spectacular light show in the events plaza each evening at 6PM, 7PM, 8PM and 9PM.</span></div>

They've got some great 2-for-1 offers on tights, scarves and more so you can check off two people on your list or make someone twice as happy.</span></div>

If you're inspired to create this season, this is the place to do it for sure. Most people really really appreciate a hand made gift because it's thoughtful and truly unique. If you're pressed for time (and who isn't at this time of year?) you can always snag a gift card and gift someone a fantastic, creative experience. Remember those ceramic Christmas trees your aunt or grandmother would bring out once a year? Now you can create one of your very own. </span></div>

Pets can enrich our lives in unique, and irreplaceable ways. Whether it’s a dog, cat, guinea pig, or mini pig, pet lovers everywhere can attest, there is no substitute for the bond shared between people and their pets.</div>
<div class="normal" style="background-color: #fbfbfb; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10.5px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">
As the saying goes, “Do something you love, and you’ll never work another day in your life”. That’s why, in 1993, Lorne Forder left his career in Toronto’s financial district, and started Canadian Pet Connection - one of Canada’s first pet health food stores, located in Oakville, Ontario.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="normal" style="background-color: #fbfbfb; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10.5px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">
Lorne’s passion for the pet industry started with his black Labs, whom he adored, trained and competed with in dog training and agility events. In an effort to find healthy products to help his dogs perform at peak levels, Lorne became frustrated with the lack of high quality, human-grade pet foods and supplements available in his area. In fact, many people in the professional dog-showing community were travelling south of the border to purchase better quality foods for their furry friends.</div>
<div class="normal" style="background-color: #fbfbfb; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10.5px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">
Lorne believed healthy pet products should be available to <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">all </i>pet owners. Canadian Pet Connection began with one retail location in Oakville, and grew into two brick-and-mortar stores, complete with professional grooming facilities, as well as a distribution centre. 2017 brought many changes, and with that came a new business model embracing the growth of ecommerce. The assets of those locations were sold to allow the business to relocate to the small town of Meaford, Ontario.</div>
<div class="normal" style="background-color: #fbfbfb; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10.5px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">
Over that last 30 years, Lorne, alongside his son Brandon, have acquired extensive knowledge pertaining to pet health. This includes pet diet and nutrition, supplementation, and holistic approaches to treating a myriad of animal health ailments. Brandon and Lorne have established themselves as experts in pet problem solving: everything from food allergies and sensitivities, to unwanted behavioural problems, including leash aggression, barking, anxiety, and more.</div>
<div class="normal" style="background-color: #fbfbfb; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10.5px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">
Canadian Pet Connection’s retail outlet in Meaford is located right beside the Meaford Factory Outlet. There, they offer high-quality, human-grade pet foods, supplements, treats, toys and accessories. They also offer free delivery from Collingwood to Owen Sound, and all the areas in between.</div>
<div class="normal" style="background-color: #fbfbfb; box-sizing: border-box; color: #464646; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 10.5px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">
Since moving the business to Meaford, this small family business has shifted their primary focus to e-commerce. In fact, their online store, found at <a href="http://www.canadianpetconnection.ca/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #a2d9f5;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1155cc;">www.canadianpetconnection.ca</span></a>, is quickly becoming one of Canada’s largest, and fastest-growing e-commerce pet retail sites.</div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Livinlove also offers one-of-a-kind, originally designed fabric art creations in her boutique, and silk screening studio, such as, ethically sourced organic bamboo t-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, kids clothes, all printed with Livinlove’s original designs, pouches, hats, patches, cards, pillows, and buttons, made from recycled scraps, cuttings from alterations, and donated materials.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Founder of Livinlove, Jill Sosnowski, moved to Collingwood three years ago, after living abroad, and previously owning a successful clothing alteration shop in Nelson, BC., she eventually found her way back to the Ontario roots, from once she came.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“As a nature lover, I am passionate about providing a service which recycles and reuses your garments and materials, as there is such an immense waste left over from the fast fashion industry. As an artist, I provide one-of-a-kind wearable and usable art, that elevates, inspires, and encourages a unique sense of style. As a lover of Collingwood, Ontario, I want to be of service to the beautiful community which I have chosen to make home. The epic nature and vast beauty of Georgian Bay constantly inspire me, and has become my greatest muse.”</span><br />

Mark Saturday October 27th on your calendar and prepare to come downtown to see what is brewing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

The spirit of the season has also taken over many of the businesses; check out all the windows to see who has been put under the spell of the spirits.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Starting at 11 a.m. activities will begin along Hurontario Street to put even the most skeptic of creature into the haunted mood; awaiting is a cauldron of activities. You can also create your own spine- chilling Halloween craft to take home or watch as balloons are twisted into ghosts. As the town hall clock strikes 1 pm all good little Witches and Warlocks and their friends will gather at the town hall for a costume contest for various age categories…. Judged by the Head Witch and Warlock!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Of course, our downtown merchants invite all the costumed good little girls and boys children to come for some early trick or treating….. just look for the Orange ‘Witch’ signs on the door or window to find out who has treats inside!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This family orientated Halloween day is a Collingwood tradition, join us, or else....</span><br />

the place out and I was hopefully excited that I would find what I was looking
for.</span></div>

Antique Market is an incredible destination for a treasure hunt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are so many antiques packed into this
location, at first it was a bit overwhelming so I asked the owners Christine
and Mick for a bit of assistance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sure
enough, they knew exactly where to find what I was looking for….and surprise
surprise…I’m not suffering from sticker shock.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 600;">THE SURPRISE AND LEILA LIVE</span> are fresh from The Toronto Fringe Next Stage Festival where both shows played to rave reviews!Ginger is throwing a surprise party and she needs your help. That’s where YOU come in. Literally! The Surprise is a hilarious clown-based immersive experience that’s guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat. Who’s invited? Who’s the guest of honour? You have to come and find out. There will be cake! From the creator and performer of Fringe hits Chaotica, ONEymoon, and All KIDding Aside. “Bartelse is charming and funny” Mooney on Theatre “Bartelse, whatever outfit she’s wearing, is a joy to watch. The Surprise lives up to it’s title. NNNN!” NOW Toronto</div>

This 30-minute character-based blast of zany high-energy fun introduces us to Leila, a shamelessly self-obsessed Iranian woman living in Toronto who loves to text and sing and live her best life, but is as naive about relationships as she is stubbornly confident in her own amazingness. Sporting a colourful headscarf, an awesome tiger-print outfit and a full beard, the mysterious performer behind the act (Izad Etemadi) blends over-the-top storytelling, comic cover songs and running punny gags into a laugh-filled tale about Leila befriending an Instagram celebrity and attending a gala at Casa Loma. Part of the plot involves returning free samples, but this sample-sized show leaves you wanting more Leila!” NOW Magazine.</div>

With an international reputation as one of the most popular brass ensembles today, Canadian Brass has truly earned the distinction of “the world’s most famous brass group”.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10.5px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Masters of concert presentations, Canadian Brass has developed a uniquely engaging stage presence and rapport with audiences. This concert will show the full range from trademark Baroque and Dixieland tunes to new compositions and arrangements created especially for them – from formal classical presentation to music served up with lively dialogue and theatrical effects. The hallmark of any Canadian Brass performance is entertainment, spontaneity, virtuosity, and most of all fun – but never at the expenses of the music.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10.5px; word-wrap: break-word;">
With a discography of over 130 albums and an extensive world-wide touring schedule, Canadian Brass is an important pioneer in brining brass music to mass audiences everywhere. Among, over 2 million in album sales worldwide (1.2 million of those sold since 1991), Canadian Brass continues to score Billboard chart positions; with Stars & Stripes: Canadian Brass Salute America, which spent 8 weeks in the Top 25 on the Billboard Classical Chart, peaking at #2.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10.5px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Canadian Brass has enthused fans worldwide by touring through; Canada, USA, Japan, Europe, Australia, the Middle East, Soviet Union, and South America. The group has had the privilege to be the first brass ensemble from the West to perform in the People’s Republic of China, where they returned for a 5 city tour in 2010, and later for other performances.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10.5px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Whatever the style, Canadian Brass performs with the utmost dedication, skill, and excellence.</div>
