The True Hollywood North, ART IN THE PARK
Shelburne has a ton of natural land available. I have always thought that Canada needs a real Hollywood North. Not the crappy indutrial locations like they have in Toronto. I mean build a town with-in a town, an Old West Town to attract Movie Makers from all over the worlf to come here and film. Building such a location would take investors, create jobs/keep it local! As well a portion of the town could also be a tourist attraction. Farmers could rent out livestock, employ those with talents in the field. Think about it! Building more houses in the area is the wrong choice right now. Shelburne needs an attraction, more jobs. The additions to housing can come after we build a town that people will want to visit, as right now, it offers Nothing!
ART IN THE PARK
As most small towns and larger cities offer...ART IN THE PARK would be a weekend long festival featuring only real artists. Not the Sensy dealers, and product businesses. We have Fiddle Park.this is an excellent venue for such an event. Keep booth spaces low that artists can afford participation, and fill the place! This is a long time coming idea that shows just how 'behind the times' this town currently is!
