With Hurricane Earl bearing down on the Maritimes and PEI, many residents are getting ready. Surprisingly, the Digby Wharf Rats cycle festival with 80,000 in attendance many in tents is going forward.

On PEI, the Évangéline Agricultural Exhibition and Acadian Festival will be held in a tent as well. Abrams Village, PEI is directly in the predicted path of Hurricane Earl.

Let’s hope the festival organizers keep their eye on the weather and use a judicious amount of common sense.
