The summer is coming to a close but that doesn’t mean you still can’t get out this weekend for one last round of fun before back to school begins.
There are plenty of interesting activities underway in Waterloo region and nearby as well. Both the Paris and Mitchell fall fairs will be running all weekend long. Both locales are within decent driving distance, if you are up for a short road trip on a long weekend.
