Windsor Craft Beer Festival 2013

Let’s raise a glass together on October 18-19, 2013 as Windsor hosts its first festival dedicated to beer!

Local and craft brewers from across the province will participate in a festival that will celebrate a much loved libation. Rather than holding the event in a plaza, we are opting for a good ol’ fashion neighbourhood party.

The Windsor Craft Beer Festival is hosted by WindsorEats and will take place across the street from the recently opened Walkerville Brewery at the intersection of Argyle Rd. and Wyandotte St. E. The event is about local culture, the resurgence of Walkerville Brewery and the burgeoning craft beer movement happening across the province. There will be entertainment, craft beers from across the province, local eats and throughout the day we’ll have an ode to the brew. It’s going to be awesome!

While Hiram Walker is famous for distilling whiskey, many don’t know he also brewed beer from 1885-1956. Walker purchased the most modern brewing equipment of the day and shipped hops from the U.S. and his own farms in Essex County. Rich in history and character, there is no better neighbourhood than Old Walkerville to have a beer festival.

The event will use the history of Walkerville and its role in brewing to help in developing a festival that will be a uniquely Walkervillian experience. We want a celebratory atmosphere, a sense of camaraderie among participants. It will be a lively event with character.

Windsor Craft Beer Festival will add to the region’s festivals and add to establishing Windsor-Essex as a culinary destination and add to the vibrancy of an already great neighbourhood. Did we mention there’s beer?

Must be 19 and over to attend.

September: Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month

September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. Make sure you know the silent signs. 

Ovarian Cancer: What All Women Should Know
September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month - a good time to review the facts. Even though this form of cancer is almost completely curable if caught in its earliest stages, it is still deadly when it goes undiagnosed. Unfortunately, it has few early symptoms and there is no reliable screening test, making timely diagnosis difficult. To help identify it at an early stage, women should talk with their physician if the following symptoms are persistent, even if they seem trivial:

General abdominal discomfort or pain (gas, indigestion, pressure, swelling, bloating, cramps)
Nausea, diarrhea, constipation or frequent urination
Loss of appetite
Feeling of fullness or abdominal swelling after a light meal
Weight gain or loss with no known reason
Abnormal bleeding from the vagina
Pelvic pressure (a feeling that one needs to urinate or defecate all the time)
Constant back or leg pain
A pelvic exam and an ultrasound can determine whether the ovaries require further evaluation. In addition to knowing the symptoms, two simple precautions can drastically increase the chance of early detection:

Give a thorough medical history to your gynecologist. Disclose any personal and family history of breast, endometrial, or colon cancer, as well as any use of fertility drugs (these may put you at higher risk).
Have an annual pelvic exam and routine sonograms.
