C'mon, Digby County, let's get some winter events going!
Destination Southwest Nova Association in partnership with the NS Department of Tourism, Culture & Heritage are working again this year with Saltscapes Magazine to publish their very successful Winterscapes calendar. They are seeking events from our region to highlight the calendar which will feature events and festivals from January 1 to May 31, 2011.

Shag Harbour Incident Society Welcomes 1,000th visitor
The Shag Harbour Incident Society opened in a new location for the 2010 tourist season. The building has proven worth the work, with numbers being up from last year. Visitors have been from all over the world, a lot from Ontario this year. To compare visitor numbers last year on Oct. 2nd we had 1,049 visitors, as of today. Each year we present the 1,000th visitor with a gift from the museum, this year our 1,000th visitor was little Eddie Smith of Boston, Ma. We are hoping to reach 2,000 by closing in Sept. Over the winter months we hope to do more work on displays and get our upstairs section ready for the 2011 year.
