Pickering Ribfest

Last weekend I went to Ribfest! I'm not much of a rib person, so I can't exactly judge the ribs. Things were quite expensive though. It was $13 for a half rack of ribs, $5 for a small bag of popcorn, $4 for a candy apple, $5 for a milkshake, and the rides were like $5 each! It was kind of crazy.
The line-ups were also very long. My boyfriend waited in line for at least 30 minutes to get ribs. The live entertainment was really fun! I loved watching the band play, I can't remember their name though. They played family-friendly songs, but I still really enjoyed it.
Overall, it was nice. If it wasn't so packed it would have been much better.
Ribfest was on June 3rd, 4th & 5th.

Tim Hortons is starting to serve smoothies

TORONTO - Tim Hortons will soon begin serving up smoothies in Canada as it attempts to shoulder its way into a trendy and growing but fragmented market for the healthy crushed-fruit drinks.

The restaurant chain that made its mark on the Canadian consciousness with the less-than-healthy combination of coffee and doughnuts plans to add pre-blended, mixed berry and banana strawberry fruit smoothies to its menu starting Monday.

I personally think that the only reason Tim Hortons is going to serve smoothies is to compete with Starbucks frappacuinos. The only cold thing you can get from Tim Hortons in the summer is an iced cap, and those aren't even that good. Frappacuinos seem to be extremely popular, like every time I am in Starbucks (no matter what time of year) theres always someone there getting a frappacuino.
