The reconstruction of the Roxy Theatre, coffee shop and Crossings Community Church on Mill Street continues as the steel beams have been covered with the new glass face at the top and the new street level entrance works. It's ironic that we had heard that Acton was quite a biker town many, many years ago and the headquarters was the old theatre that will now hold a church. When I was taking this picture there came a roar as about 50 friendly motorcycle riders came through town along Highway 7 - passing by the Roxy.

Ann went on a girls night out evening so I decided to make a return visit to the Rockwood Conservation Area - just 20 minutes to the west of Acton (follow Highway 7 towards Guelph). The night was falling and I ventured into the woods (they have a great trail set up now) to see what I could see.

The scenery in the park is fantastic and the entrance fee of $4.25 (2008 season, adult) is well worth the money. I did see a blue heron waiting patiently along the shoreline for a fish to come close and there were plenty of fish catching insects along the surface of the water.

Inside the forest some of the limestone depressions collect water and are covered in a vibrant green algae. The Grand River flowing into the conservation area passes over an old dam, below, which they are trying to decide what to do with now (ie refurbish or remove).

It was a beautiful night (with no rain) and it was a very pleasant exploration of the beauty of Ontario. PS we are starting to notice some of the trees around us starting to change colour as fall quickly approaches.

Some members of the Georgetown Fire Department relax during the 2008 Georgetown Rock n' Roll n' Classics juried classic car show. There were plenty of people in the historic downtown core of Georgetown looking at about 300 beautiful cars.

I'm not sure what happened here. I think the kids got thirsty and they pulled up to a bar to get a large draft of Moosehead beer and left their transport outside. There were plenty of things to do at the show including some rock & roll music from Rolly Rocker and the Hemi Heads.

The lawn and garden tractors line up for the 800 lbs class tractor pullin' at the 2008 combined Erin and Acton Tractor Pull. The event was run by both the Erin and Acton Agricultural Societies and was held at Erin's Fairgrounds. There were about 90 pulls in about 10 weight classes held throughout the evening.
