2016 FALL COTTAGE LIFE SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:
The Model Cottage
– A brand new cottage concept will be making its debut at this year’s Fall Cottage Life Show. Step inside and get the first look tour of The Halö, one of the latest designs from Bonneville Homes Micro-Loft Series. A contemporary blend of simplicity and efficiency, this modern retreat will feature impressive amenities and groundbreaking functionality packed into less than 1,000 square feet of living space, complete with furniture and accessories from show exhibitors. The model cottage will feature the interior styling expertise of Peterborough-based Lakeshore Designs, using décor and furnishings found on the show floor.

The Main Stage – Learn from industry experts speaking on a variety of topics daily to help make the most of your cottage life. Dave Depencier, host of Cottage Life TV’s Reno My Reno will share the dos and don’ts of DIY renovating and provide valuable advice for anyone looking to take on their own project. Matt Logan, an ISA-certified arborist will educate attendees on tree care and modern tree practices, while brothers Andrew and Benton Brown will provide tips on alternative energy and myths and facts surrounding geothermal systems. Cynthia Zamaria, a Toronto-based designer, will show attendees how to make stylish décor for the cottage and JD Petit, featured in this month’s DIY issue of Cottage Life, will share how he designed and built a cottage from the ground up on a sustainable budget.

The Great Outdoors – Explore the wilder side of life on the lake, right in the heart of the city. Back by popular demand, the famous Haliburton Forest Sled Dogs will demonstrate what it’s like to experience a winter trail ride; Scales Nature Park will educate visitors on conservation efforts for a diverse group of reptiles, amphibians and fish; and the experts at Wild Ontario will stop by with some feathered friends including owls, falcons and more, answering all of your questions about wild birds. A nature lover’s paradise!
