The Carleton Place Business Improvement Association (BIA) invites locals and out-of-towners to visit downtown Carleton Place on Saturday August 4, 2012 from from 9-4pm for the 7th Annual Bridge Street Bazaar.

Organizers hope to showcase the center of this colourful and historical town through a sidewalk shop with over a hundred vendors. Visitors can Meet Us “Downtown” On The Mississippi and have the opportunity to find bargain deals, become a street merchant themselves, and eat at waterfront pubs and restaurants, all while basking in non-stop local entertainment.

The entire downtown section of Bridge Street will be closed off to vehicular traffic to allow for a pedestrian-friendly area where both vendors and merchants alike can display and sell their wares. The full-day schedule of the sidewalk sale includes various activities and attractions – some of Carleton Place’s finest musicians, NEW mascots and dancers. Spectators will enjoy a full day of live local entertainment that will bring the sounds of pop, rock and country to the stage, as well as local buskers who will be wandering the streets performing.

Entertainment in the downtown market is free of charge and full of variety.

EMC News – The Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH) Foundation has received a gift of $160 from Ana and Dean Antonakos. The sister and brother team, with the help of their parents, Louis and Melanie Antonakos, operated a lemonade stand during the Bridge Street Bazaar and decided to donate the proceed of their sales to the Foundation.

Ana and Dean Antonakos know firsthand what the saying, ‘When life gives you lemons, make lemonade,’ means. The siblings however, took it even a notch higher.

The brother and sister duo, along with some help from their parents, Louis and Melanie Antonakos, opened up a lemonade stand during the Bridge Street Bazaar, where they earned quite a bit of money—$160 in fact.

But instead of buying something with their earnings, the siblings opted instead to donate the $160 to the Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital Foundation.

According to Ana Antonakos, when their grandfather Papou was confined at the hospital for lengthy period of time, every at CPDMH took great care of him. She and her brother though it would be a great idea to donate their earnings at the bazaar as a way of thanking the hospital’s staff for their superb services.

She adds that coming up with the $160 amount wasn’t as tough as they had originally thought—in fact the folks at the bazaar were very friendly.

CPDMH CEO Toni Surko was happy to express the hospital’s gratitude at the touching gesture of the brother and sister team. He adds that the Antonakos family’s generosity is a fine example of community spirit.
