<p>These are just some of many photos I took in Gananoque during the "Raid on Gananoque" re-enactment, August 24th and 25th. There were over 300 re-enactors from both sides of the border as well as representation by the First Nations including the "Women Hand Drum Singers". There was a lot of noise and smoke as the two sides fought at the waterfront and on the King St. bridge. No, the Americans didn&apost burn it this time! </p>
