We started out at the Carnegie Arts & Visitor Centre. From there we rode through town to the Grovedale House, Lakeside Park, the Kingsville Military Museum, and the Lions Club with its Birds of Prey show.

We met back at the the Carnegie Arts & Visitor Centre, where we enjoyed the Starlight Aerial show and a visit from Honker before our ride.

We rode across the street for a group photo at Jack Miner statue and then on to the Grovedale House And Lakeside Marketplace where we bought Girl Guide cookies and were able to shop at the many different vendors.

We were given a brief history of the Kingsville Military Museum. The we rode through the local streets and cemetery before finishing up at Lion’s Park. While we were there we met Sparky and Kingsville Firefighters. We listened to music and watched the children’s activities.

One of the highlights of our tour was the Birds of Prey show. We were able to observe some hawks and  owls firsthand. What beautiful birds!

After we’d taken in our fill at the Birds of Prey show, it was time to return to home base once again at the Carnegie Arts & Visitor Centre.
