Walkin’ On Sunshine

The weather during the last couple o’ walks was a bit…chilly! Tonight, however, the sun is shining, the breeze is light and we’re ready to regale ye with tales o’ The Great Lakes, The Welland Canal and ports beyond! (It will get dark before the tour is over, so bringing a jacket may be in order)

Arrive early to visit the shops & restaurants o’ Downtown Port Colborne – and enjoy the variety o’ classic cars lined up along Clarence St. for two blocks!

Park along West St. or in the public lot at King & Princess (by the Museum), then meet us at the big compass by the lift bridge on Clarence.

As for the title? Unless yer really into the funky grooves, yer probably thinking o’ the wrong song…behold the glorious jam that is Rockers Revenge feat. Donnie Calvin! Written by Eddy Grant and Produced by Arthur Baker. Aye…we’re music historians too!
