Wit Ventures: Sarnia Slates Mega-Weekend Festival Including Tall Ships Tour.

Sarnia Slates Mega-Weekend Festival Including Tall Ships Tour.

Sarnia is putting all its eggs in one basket next summer, scheduling two annual summer events on the same weekend as the Tall Ship festival.

Both Artzscape by the Bay and the Borderfest music festival will take place during the Aug. 9 to Aug. 11 weekend, culminating in a four-day stretch that could see tens of thousands of visitors flock to Sarnia. The decision to merge the dates of the three festivals, announced

Tuesday, was done to give people more reasons to come to Sarnia during the hotly anticipated Tall Ship Celebration.

As many as 100,000 came out to see the ships last time the festival was in Sarnia. Organizers are hoping to pull a similar crowd this year.

“We contacted (the other festivals) a couple months back,” said Vicky Praill, with Tourism Sarnia-Lambton. “We thought when we were planning entertainment, why reinvent the wheel? Why not contact some existing events?”

Shirley has over 30 years of experience in such diverse businesses as financial planning, manufacturing, and supply. Her education includes a B.A., B.ED., M.ED., C.F.P., N.L.P. and the home inspector’s course as well as having her AZ license for five years. Her family home has given her and her husband the opportunity to do extensive renovation and repairs thereby increasing the value about $100,000 in ten years. She has been able to see firsthand how much a sensible and cost efficient renovations can add to the value of a home. Shirley has chosen joint ventures because she thinks that her experiences an help others achieve their goals and maximize the profits for both parties. In 1979, Shirley became involved in a small group of women who started a metal manufacturing company making small deep drawn metal parts for the automobile companies in Windsor. They took the company from start up to over $400,000 in sales in five years. That was a lot of parts since the parts sold for only five cents per each. In 1985 they sold the company to one of their customers. Whether it was selling mutual funds, teaching foster parents how to recruit foster parents, or working for Tony Robbins, Shirley has put more than 100 percent into every endeavour she was involved in.
