FROM THE PUBLISHER<br />
Sweet, sweet summer in <strong>Huron</strong>/<strong>Perth</strong> – it’s when the world starts to really<br />
feel alive again, our communities are bustling with visitors, farmers are<br />
working hard in the fields, and those of us lucky enough to call this place<br />
home are taking advantage of every minute we have living in paradise.<br />
I truly feel we are blessed to live in a region rich with beautiful beaches and<br />
interesting community festivals, access to locally grown produce, well-kept<br />
trails, and no shortage of wide open spaces where you can hear yourself<br />
think.<br />
Is it any wonder tourists drive hours upon hours just to experience a few<br />
days in our paradise?<br />

This summer marks our ninth summer issue and it always amazes me the<br />
knowledgeable and talented resources we have in our community. Thank<br />
you to Colleen Maguire for educating us on one of our area’s first – and<br />
likely most famous – photographers, Goderich’s R.R. Sallows. Elizabeth<br />
Bundy-Cooper gives us a glimpse into the Stratford Festival’s early days in<br />
an interview with Laura Pogson, whose family home has welcomed guests<br />
since Day 1. If you are exploring the region this summer, be sure to read<br />
the story of Point Clark Lighthouse, a National Historic Site in nearby Point<br />
Clark. Thinking of exploring a little further abroad? Mandy Sinclair shares<br />
her experience in the Big Apple. Finally, Brandon Wittig and Cai Wilson,<br />
from BioPed Footcare & Orthotics, share their<br />
expertise on preventing foot problems in those<br />
with diabetes.<br />
Thank you for reading our summer issue – I hope<br />
you soak up all summer has to offer this season!<br />
