Go get \u2018em!<\/p>\n<p> In Elgin, about 15 minutes away from Westport by car, the town will be hopping with the annual \u201cElgin Days\u201d on Saturday and Sunday (July 11 and 12). This is a happy family-centred event with a parade, air-castles and climbers for children, yard sales, outdoor music, a horseshoe tournament, a big chicken barbecue and even bowling.<\/p>\n<p> Also in Elgin is a Friday evening \u201cFun-Run\u201d. You don\u2019t have to be a runner to do this (although seasoned runners love it). All you have to do is to show up and see what you can do. Registration begins at 6 p.m. (July 10) at Rideau District High School.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like a leisurely drive to pretty <a href=\"http:\/\/www.exploreperth.com\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">heritage Perth<\/a>, about half an hour from Westport, you\u2019ll see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rideaulakesartists.com\/index.php?pr=Art_On_The_Lawn\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Art on the Lawn<\/a>, presented by Rideau Lakes Artists\u2019 Association. There will be works by more than 30 artists at 3054 Rideau Ferry Road from 10 to 5 on Saturday and Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the good old summertime in Westport once more.
