Acts of Sweetness celebrate the August Long Weekend!

Hi guys!

I just thought I’d take the time to brag about the Acts of Sweetness Team’s AWESOME August long weekend.

Janet and I are lucky because we get to travel a lot and see things that normally we might not! This weekend was action packed and we enjoyed it all. From dreaming in High Park to stuffing our faces with ice cream in Rockton, we had a very sweet weekend. We hope that everyone else did too… but just check out what we got up to:

Has anyone ever been to Dream in High Park? It’s so fantastic! Each summer it’s a different Shakespeare play; this year it’s Romeo and Juliet. We actually drove the truck into High Park and got to drive down to where the stage is and where all the action is! It just happened to be Youth Night at Dream in High Park so there were a lot of people!

Everyone brought picnics with them (so our cookies were quite the sweet compliment!) and a blanket and cuddled up to watch Romeo & Juliet… so cute! (I cuddled with Janet).

On Saturday, we took the truck on an adventure out to Port Hope which is a cute little town just outside of Cobourg, Ontario! We got stuck in a bit of traffic along the way… but knowing Janet and I, we couldn’t keep still. We got people honking and smiling all along the way

That’s my beautiful artsmanship right there! It got people honking and taking pictures, definitely recommended if you’re stuck in traffic. We even got a truck driver to give us a blaring honk!

We got to Port Hope for their annual summer Estival (I didn’t forget the F! It’s derived from an old English word meaning Summery Things). It was a blast and lots of people came out to celebrate. We even met a juggler who juggled our Redpath Sugar Cookies! I guess his mother never told him not to play with his food…

We were really looking forward to Sunday because it was our chance to stuff our faces with ice cream! We were invited to the Westfield Heritage Ice Cream Festival out in Rockton, Ontario (which, is by African Lion Safari… I was afraid I’d stumble upon a lion or elephant on our travels). We were so excited by all of the ice cream choices! Janet opted for the Maple Walnut with chocolate and caramel sauce. I’m more of a mint-chocolate chip girl or cookie dough girl myself.

Of course, we offered up some of our crumbled up chocolate chip cookies as ice cream toppers! It worked out pretty well. Who doesn’t like a little cookie crunch in their ice cream?

We got to meet lots of fellow ice cream and cookie enthusiasts. Including this little cookie monster that stopped by:

How cute is he?! I need to look into finding Janet and I some of those shirts, does anyone have any hot tips?

We definitely had a blast this weekend in our Redpath truck. We hope that everyone else did! Remember: if you ever want the Acts of Sweetness team and our Redpath Truck to visit you at an event please let us know! You can email us here.
