Juxtapositioning the 4-day entertainment outlook

The theme for this weekend seems to be juxtaposition.

On Saturday, the Bondar Pavilion tents a metallic musical monster while across the water at the Sault Locks, cuddly balloon animals will frolic amidst joyous pie eaters and face painted children.

And right in the middle is an evening of Gangsters and Molls at the Holiday Inn.

Which way do we go!?
