Fifty Three years and Counting
Published August 6, 2015 by oddacity designsIt was July 14th. 1962. Fifty Three years ago, and the day Barry and Sheila Cassidy tied the knot and became man and wife. What a lot of water under the bridge, most of it in Bear River where they moved in 1972. Hallelujah.
So it was a great occasion for a celebration, and celebrate they did, with a wonderful gathering of friends and an enormous amount of incredibly delicious food.
Fortunately, both the Cassidy’s have a delicious sense of humor….maybe you can tell by the cake they ordered…
the cake, complete with photo made of icing!
In case you can’t make it out, the writing with the arrow says “I’m with stupid” Needless to say the cake was a huge success.
Many more happy anniversaries to this fantastic couple.

Summer in Bear River 2015
Published July 10, 2015 by oddacity designsAfter the winter from HELL and the late spring, summer is at last underway. Now that we have Canada Day under our belt, we can sit back and watch the gardens grow…. and there are some pretty wonderful gardens in the village!
A Great Reason to celebrate!
Published September 2, 2013 by oddacity designsThe weather was perfect, and the occasion sublime! The grand opening of the Bear River Millyard cottages was a complete success in every way!
Those interested in the exciting development of the Bear River Recreation Millyard , and the future of Bear River, gathered on the shores of Bear River on Aug. 17 for a fun filled evening of food, music and comraderie. During the course of the evening the guests were treated to a look at the fabulous new accommodations, a glimpse of the new book about Bear River, fabulous food, remarks about the development of the property and delightful music by George Sloane, Dan Lagan, Jack Fuller and guest flutist, Ai.
The little yellow houses are the brilliant design of Frank Zimmeck, a true artist, and the guests delighted in the remarkable detail work that adorn the cottages. In fact, they delighted in everything about them…especially the view!

Bear River, Nova Scotia
Published November 23, 2011 by oddacity designsThe stories are real.
It would be impossible to make this stuff up.
Living here is theater-in-the-round. Keep your eyes and ears open, and always listen to Walter.
Real life or delusion…you decide.
