Outdoors: Sylvan Circle Tour celebrates its 15th anniversary

The Sylvan Circle Tour is celebrating its 15th Anniversary this September 19, 2015 from 9 am to 5 p.m.

It is a 100 km route through the beautiful East Algoma countryside.

This year, sixty-one artists and artisans will be showcasing their talents at eleven community centres and three studios. Seven locations will have food and beverages available.

The Sylvan Circle Tour has developed a new website this year.

The organizing committee was successful in obtaining a grant from the East Algoma Community Futures Development Corporation to develop the new website.

All the information you need can be found at www.sylvancircle.ca.

Funding was also received from the tour's corporate sponsor the Scotiabank and from the Local Immigration Partnership administered through the Sault Ste. Marie Economic Development Corporation.

To celebrate the 15th Anniversary, the organizers have asked artisans to select their own favourite item to display during the day.

These "Artist Favourite" items will be available for purchase.

Another exciting addition to the Sylvan Circle Tour this year is the collaboration of the Cops And Kids Smile Ride to bring some smiles to kids in need this Christmas.

Join them for breakfast at Gliss followed by a police escorted ride to Echo Bay where riders can then participate in the 100 Km Sylvan Circle Art Tour.
