    You know that saying that good things come in threes? Well, it happened to me yesterday…read more I found out through Los Rolling Tacos, a food truck that travels around the Wellington area, that it would be at Riverside Park for the Cambridge Kin Carnival. Three great things: - Riverside Park - Cambridge Kin Carnival - Los Rolling Tacos This review will cover all three. The Cambridge Kin Carnival hasn't been on since the pandemic hit in 2020. It finally returned this year. I grew up in the Beaches. There used to be a carnival every year at Greenwood Racetrack, which used to be on the southwest corner of Woodbine Avenue and Queen Street East. These days, it's a community of townhouses, condos, and businesses. I loved that carnival. Rides. Food. Games. So much fun and great memories! Riverside Park is huge. It makes sense why this park is ideal for large events. This carnival is pretty large to accommodate all the rides, games, and food trucks. I only caught what I felt was a subsection of the entire park. It has a greenhouse, a baseball diamond, a playground, a hiking trail, and lots of picnic tables. It's stunning with all the greenery and flowers. The entrance is cool. There is a dedication to World War II veterans. You also encounter a rock that is over a billion years old. Wow! There is parking at this park. It's all free. However, with the carnival, spaces were all taken and folks were parking off to the side next to the trees, parallel to Grand River. I parked across the street where there were more spots. I realized later that I had parked behind the Preston Electric Power House, which is deemed a historic site. It was free parking, too. The carnival was so much fun. Games catered more to kids, but adults were playing them like kids, too. Each play was 25 cents, which was reminiscent to how much it was when I was a kid. Everything from bashing gophers to playing the bowling game was all there. There were plenty of rides. You need to get tickets first before going on the rides. Some were catered to kids and those who want something calmer, such as the carousel and ferris wheel. If you are more adventurous, there were the Ali Baba and Avalanche rides. Expect lots of screaming when you are in the vicinity. There were several food trucks. The one with ice cream and popsicles had the most business. I was ready for lunch, so I had tacos from Los Rolling Taco. I got three tacos for $18: - Birria (beef) - Al pastor (pork) - Tinga (chicken) All three were gluten-free. The filling in all tacos were generous. The proteins were flavourful and tender. I enjoyed every taco and dipping them into the sauces that accompanied them. I bought a can of Diet Coke. Sadly, I didn't realize that I didn't get it until I was halfway through eating. I went back to the truck to get it. The man thought that he had given it to me. Nope, I needed to wash my food down. He gave me a can. It wasn't cold, which was the only minor damper to my experience. This truck accepted debit and credit cards. I brought cash and didn't use it, but it was there just in case. The carnival had a blocked-off area with benches. I asked if I could eat in there. The nice security guy said yes as long as I was 19 years of age and older. Sweet! It was by the stage where a dance troop was about to showcase their routines. There are washrooms everywhere. It was such a large area that it was comfortable walking around, even with so many folks attending the carnival. It is a picturesque park, especially by the river and where the greenhouse is. I'd love to return again just to walk around when there isn't a major carnival happening! It was such a great visit. I'm so glad that I took in a carnival with great food at a wonderful park. (182)

    Arnold Anderson Stadium is the home of the Intercounty Baseball League's Brantford Red Sox. While…read morethe team has a storied championship history, the two times I was there the team was mired in a 19-game losing streak, and the attendance numbers bore that out. Being the Canada Day long weekend, the team held a $5 admission day and a free admission day to drive in some fans. While the locals assured me the crowd was more than the recent norm, it was pretty underwhelming. The fans that were there, however, were passionate about their team and were overall friendly and great people. The stadium itself is a fair bit underwhelming. The main seating area behind home plate is obscured by a black chain-link fence supported by rather thick poles which makes you feel like you're watching the game from a prison cell. The other main seating areas are a set of bleachers down either baseline. The only respite from the shade are some picnic tables sitting under some trees all the way down the third baseline (which has no fence separating the seating area from the field of play, just a white line). Being a hot summer day, I sought respite from the sun here for most of both games I was at. It's a pretty unique vantage point, with no separation between you and the game (except that white line) you feel closer to the action and can hear the conversations between the outfielders (and the players aren't shy about chatting with the fans either). The concessions are also nothing to get excited about. The hot dog that I had was pretty awful, and the buns that were supposed to have come from a local bakery did not taste that fresh at all. The prices were good, but you certainly didn't get much for your money, except a desire to eat somewhere else after you left. All-in-all, I still enjoyed my visit to Arnold Anderson Stadium enough the first day, that I came back for a game the next day. It's a bit disappointing that this team that once won six straight league titles is currently sitting in dead last with a 1-19 record. The fans in the community are great and they deserve better. I hope to come back here again sometime and see a better product from the home team.
