Kentville May 29th, 2026 - Seniors and those with disabilities are made to park a long way from the gates and must then walk a long distace in order to reach their destination due to an extreme new traffic control set up ?
.May 30th, 2025 - G7 high level tight security enforced for an evening of food trucks and bouncy castles ? ( must have taken up most of the budget ) ? Town of Kentville brings in outside police to assist the local force, cordons off ground zero perimeter with barricades, road blocks and manned guard posts for traffic control and added security ? In past years this concert had always featured invited guest rock bands, interesting games, demonstrations and displays and a visit from a Queen Annapolisa Royal party following their prestigious coronation ceremony in Wolfville, but this new version of the annual event has deteriorated into some kind of an outdoor romper room type family show that features food trucks, inflatable air bouncy castles and a local group for the main stage star performer ? Not much to do or see for anyone above elementary grade school level other maybe purchase some food from a food truck at upscale restaurant prices to then dine on a paper plate with plastic utensils while standing up in a crowd of unruly kids and being lustfully stared at by some nearby hungry saliva drooling pet dogs leashed to their owners ? However, thanks to the upgraded crowd control security, there was a report of a parking violator being successfully apprehended and one runaway pet was captured and returned to its owner ?

Apple Blossom Festival news updates :
Logan Morse and newcomer ABF Board of Directors break hearts of Valley families especially the Children when they move to terminate the historic long running Queen Annapolisa and Apple Blossom Princess Pageant after 88 years ? Directors in charge show no remorse, while boasting that their bold action was needed to improve, evolve and bring the pageant up to their modern standards ? www.pressreader.com/canada/annapolis-valley-register/2023...
May 26, 2023 - We Are the Ones. An unusual amount of disrespect and disregard shown as the historic 88 year old Valley Peoples Pageant is cancelled without notice, consideration, consultation or approval ? New ABF officials have apparently proclaimed themselves as the only generation in 88 years that will interrupt and permanently end 88 years of wonderful world class multi Valley village Queen Annapolisa and Apple Blossom Princess pageantry ? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/apple-blossom-festival...
Annapolis Valley families in shock and children cry when learning that their beloved Queen Annapolisa Pageant has been cancelled without notice, consultation, consideration or compassion ? Newcomer Directors say they are taking bold action to improve, evolve and modernize the historic Annapolis Valley Apple Blossom Festival ? www.saltwire.com/atlantic-
Air Show Atlantic Inc.- Valley residents have lost a long time major yearly family entertainment event when the annual ABF Greenwood Airshow is terminated and will be no more. Fast forward to Aug 24, 2024, and, to corporate greed ? Corporation Air Show Atlantic Inc. now charges big bucks to see taxpayer owned aircraft on taxpayer owned property in a vastly inferior airshow with far less aircraft ? and they don't even have the courtesy to offer a discount Seniors ticket category ?

How dare They ? Kentville IS the Cornwallis Inn and the Cornwallis Inn IS Kentville - If you were to google the 2 words Cornwallis Inn you will get over 600,000 entries with almost all of them married to the word Kentville..

After Warden Brothers, (Greenwood ) and Liberal MP, L Glavine (Kingston) all but hijacked Waterville Airport before relocating it to their own home riding in Kingston/Greenwood area, it seems that the town of Kentville must face yet another attack from the Kingston area when Alxys Chamberlain (Apple Blossom Princess Kingston) and the ABF Directors attempt to take yet another major source of revenue and another major attraction away from the town of Kentville ?

A bit rich ? Exploiting a Queen Annapolisa for a photo op ?

The 2023 Kentville Grand Street Parade - Whatever happened to the liberal's call to establish diversity and inclusion in Canada ? Newcomer Parade organizers defy and go against the Trudeau Liberal Government 's promise ? Many nearby local Valley towns and villages that always attend are not to be included in this year's parade ? This exclusion has also meant a denial of the diversity always provided by these local towns and communities ? Where is Canning, Digby, Annapolis Royal, Hantsport Greenwood, Windsor ? Where's our Queen Annapolisa ? Where's the Apple Blossom Princesses and where's all of the individual Town floats including the Princess Kentville royal float ?

2025 Kentville Grand Street Parade - Is this some kind of a cruel joke ? Very few entrees and shortened Kentville Grand Street Parade this year ? Zero in large marching street bands and majorettes other than the regular RCMP (mini version) marching unit, no Sottish pipers or pipe bands, zero in Apple Blossom Royalty and no famous royal floats, Most of the regular nearby Valley village participants not there, no horse and wagons, no armaments, soldiers, marching bands or displays from Aldershot or Greenwood, etc etc, ? And yet Guest parade announcer proclaims in quote @ 29:17, " this parade is the largest in Canada, - it's the longest with the largest route and the most entries. " Wha-a-a-t ? Where did that come from and what's she talking about ?

King Annapolisa ? There's a new royal rider on a makeshift bench that was crudely mounted and used as a throne on board the historic Apple Blossom Princess Kentville parade float in the famous Grande Street Parade. It seems that the newcomer Mayor of Kentville has replaced our 88 year old Apple Blossom Princess Kentville and become King Annapolisa ?

British colonialism - New generation anti colonial ABF directors may have disapproved and now terminated the historic Queen Annapolisa pageant and the Apple Blossom Princess competition but nevertheless Valley residents will continue to always support, respect and remain fond of the British Monarchy. Most Valley citizens are delighted to hear that his Majesty King Charles III and Queen Camilla are coming for a royal visit to Canada on May 26 and 27, 2025. This year's incomplete and now 'Royalty-less' ABF starts on the 28th, www.cbc.ca/news/politics/king-charles-canada-visit-1.7524946
"The 'new' history !" The genocide of a Valley culture, history and tradition ?

Meet the directors,
May 29th, 2026, Kentville Memorial Park, the ABF Friday night concert, ( Can the good ole days of dollar dogs and bargain Big 8 soda pop be over) ? High level security protocol established for an evening of food wagons and kids bouncy castles ? ( must have taken up most of their budget at the sacrifice of bringing in some quality outside live entertainment) ? Town calls in outside police to reinforce local Kentville police, cordons off entire ground zero event perimeter with road blocks, street barricades and manned guard check posts to enforce maximum level traffic control that, unfortunately, has made patrons including seniors, the disabled, toddlers, and Mothers carrying babies have to park and walk from a fair distance to get to the park gates ? Also, in past years concert organizers always brought in special outside guest rock bands, and always featured interesting games, demonstrations and displays, and there was always a visit from the Queen Annapolisa Royal party following the prestigious coronation ceremony in Wolfville, However, unfortunately, this years event seems to have deteriorated into some kind of a Children's outdoor romper room type family show featuring food trucks, inflatable air bouncy castles and a local band featured as the star main stage performer ? There's not much to do or see for those exceeding the elementary school level other than maybe purchase some food from a food truck that charges upscale restaurant prices and then dine on a paper plate using plastic utensils while standing in a crowd of unruly kids and being lustfully observed by some nearby saliva drooling pet dogs leashed to their owners ? However, thanks to the heightened security and upscale traffic control there was a report of one parking violator being successfully apprehended and a runaway pet was also captured and returned to its owner ? www.flickr.com/photos/74039487@N02/54558198569/in/photost...
Oct 4th, 2025 - The Kentville Harvest Festival is held annually in Centre Square :
A cheap and weak effort shown this year in a harvest festival that didn't include many long time traditions like the family horse-drawn hay wagon ride or the pumpkin people scarecrow making class, contest and the live group demo ? Didn't see much of a showing from the Valley harvest, Valley livestock or the local farmer ? Many usual Harvest Festival standards always featured in past festivals are no longer here but are instead replaced by business kiosks selling commercial merchandise that is unrelated to the harvest theme ? This year's newcomer harvest festival featured some kids bouncy castles, business kiosks and some high-priced food trucks ?
Upgrade 2025 ? A photo taken from in front of Phinney's dept store on Webster Street downtown Kentville after major renovations to double its size gave Phinneys the second largest downtown store front display window area next only to the liquor Store ? There's been a massive Town expenditure budgeted this year for major upgrades to the Mayor's downtown business backyard as Webster Street gets a complete 100 % beautification makeover to bring it up to pristine shape with new installations of street paving, paint and signage etc, new double sidewalks both sides, driveway entrances, and new curb and gutter both sides ? All surrounding streets in this business block area were also upgraded including Aberdeen Street (twice), Cornwallis Street and Main Street ?

George Orwell's dark prediction has just come true.
London England, Apr 22,2026 - The British Parliament has just enacted legislation to install a form of Orwellian Totalitarian rule into current democratic English society that allows for the installment of Government social control in the form of mandatory lifetime probationary orders to be placed on certain selected unwary citizens without asking their permission who will then be state monitored from birth to death to insure compliance is met on the legal lifetime probation order that is attached to them ?

A cultural genocide is going on in Kentville ? Why is it always Kentville ? Now it's the library ? First came the loss of the Railway and Day-liner service back in 1989, then Kings council expropriated the local Airport and evicted the many other established aviation schools and businesses, they had tried to take Grand street parade away from Kentville in 2017, and then we lost the famous Cornwallis Inn logo and the 88 yrs old statue in Halifax was torn down, they then terminated Apple Blossom Princess Kentville and ended the 87 consecutive years of the Queen Annapolisa pageant. Kentville lost a huge amount of diversity provided by the many nearby villages that always participated in the Festival, as well as a termination of the Princess teas, the Coronation, and all of the popular mid-week public outdoor entertainment always held at Memorial Park during ABF week ? And now they appear to be after the popular long time Kentville Library ?
After the Town terminated many traditional sources of public enjoyment while never offering any similar or even close replacement, and as Kentville gradually approaches cultural ghost town status, it is noticable that the downtown business core (in which the Mayor has a major private business interest ) has been totally renovated and restored to pristine condition by way of a complete beautification program complete with new installations of street paving, street paint, new double sidewalks on both sides, new driveway entrances, new curb and gutter both sides, signage and flower pots ? And the other three surrounding streets making up this downtown business block have also been totally upgraded including Aberdeen Street (twice), Cornwallis Street and Main Street ?

ABF 2023 :
Shocking news from ABF,
* There's been a stunning development at ABF. *
Apparently in a new younger generation there are those who harbor resentment towards our nations history, for English colonialism, and even for the Monarchy ? Other minority groups have voiced discontent over the diversity and inclusion issue ? And so it seems that the current ABF Board of Directors has listened to the concerns and complaints of a few small minority groups while apparently ignoring and excluding the overwhelming majority of Valley residents ? And it appears that this current Board of Directors chose to resolve discontent by simply moving to implement and execute the nuclear option and final solution ? And therefore after a highly successful lengthy run of 87 consecutive years in a row, the highly anticipated, very popular, family oriented, inclusive and diverse, multi village Queen Annapolisa and Apple Blossom Princess Pageant along with the prestigious Royal Coronation crowning ceremonies held in Wolfville have all been terminated forever by this current board of Directors ?
.
-----------------------It's The End of an Era-----------------------------
"We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep."
Annapolis Valley Apple Blossom Festival 2023 - ABF Board of Directors have announced they are making drastic new changes in format and making more devastating cut-backs to the annual People's Festival ? Recent concerns over ceremony, symbolism, monarchy and past colonialism, along with the ongoing inclusion and diversity issue relative to the Queen Annapolisa contest, as well as the current Trudeau Liberal political environment in Canada, may have all influenced a new generation of ABF Officials to radically update the historic Queen Annapolisa and Apple Blossom Princess pageants in order to bring the Valley up to modern standards that they believe more relevant to current times ? And so it seems that Directors must have held an extremely private 'think tank' and without consideration, consultation, or bothering to invite or gain approval from long time participating Valley communities, Officials must have decided that rather than trouble themselves any further with the issue, why not just take the easy way out and simply get rid of this history ? And so it seems that a decision must have been made, in a very private way, to enforce the life ending final solution ? And so, as of 2023 the iconic 87 year old Apple Blossom Princess contest and pageant is to be shut down and terminated forever ? This act has been carried out without public input, inclusion, involvement, attendance or approval, and now one of the longest running, popular, highly anticipated, inclusive and diverse family events to ever benefit the Valley is over ?
This cold act of finality will end the 88 year reign of her royal Heinous Queen Annapolisa and it will terminate all further participation of the 7 to 10 Apple Blossom Princess contestants and child attendants representing 7 to 10 local Valley communities ? It also ends appearances by the beautiful hand crafted award winning Princess floats that are the focal highlight of Grand Street Parade and will signal the end of the ultra glamorous Queen and Ladies-in-waiting Crowning ceremonies gala that is held and televised each year from Acadia University in Wolfville ? This will end the popular community Princess Tea events, the Royal Party visitations to local Schools, hospitals and old folks homes that were so welcome and appreciated by Students, Seniors, shut-ins and the disabled ? And this means the end of Royal Party appearances at the Kentville Children's Parade, the Memorial Park Friday night open air Rock concert and fireworks, and Royal party attendances at many other events held annually throughout the Valley and Province ?
It appears now that current ABF Officials led by President Logan Morse along with Kentville town rep Lindsey Young not only interrupted the Pageant in 2022 when they temporarily postponed it, but have now in 2023 moved to terminate the prestigious event forever explaining that their decision was made to improve, include, modernize and evolve the fampus pageant ? This final act of termination ends almost 90 years of royal pageantry and also leaves a huge gap in the Festival itself ? It also negatively affects the nearby Valley communities who participate and always enter contestants in the Pageant ? The end of this important multiple community event and the taking away of the better half and Star of the Apple Blossom Festival brings forth the question of what replacement is planned, and what are local towns and villages that always play a major role in both the Queen and Princess competition suppose to do now ? And what about Valley youth and childhood dreams of one day becoming a child attendant or an Apple Blossom Princess or even a Queen ?
You have to marvel at the level of disrespect shown by these new generation Officials who have appointed themselves as the ones that will end the Pageant and then think that Valley residents are stupid enough to believe that by cancelling and taking away a long running 90 year old event they have in some perverted way of thinking moved the Valley forward or improved and modernized anything ? It seems far more likely that they have taken a giant leap backwards and robbed the Valley people of a much beloved, multi community, inclusive and live local family production that has always been the most anticipated highlight of the year for the past almost 90 consecutive years ?
Why current ABF Management, who claim to be stewards in charge and responsible for the promotion and presentation of this event, appear unable to perform their duties or to perform the job they're paid to do and do what their predecessors have always done so well each and every year for the past 87 years, often in far more trying circumstances and in far less prosperous times, is difficult to comprehend ? And you have to wonder, Whatever happened to the # 1 rule in business that says that if you can't do your job because of your inexperience, immaturity, inability, personal bias, laziness, or just plain stupidity, then,, YOU'RE ALL FIRED ! (and a Class action recovery suit may be forthcoming ?)

Only got photos of 2 of them while there, the first two red ones and the last six photos here. Fun watching how skillful these pilots are doing aerial maneuvers, takeoffs and landings. I always send any photos I take for them to post on their club site. Sorry for so many photos, just saving to my album. :-)

More experimenting with my off-camera flash, this time using my old 18-55mm kit lens due to my Sigma 30mm only going down to f/16. I needed to overpower daylight and use a higher power on my flash than normal, meaning on my Sigma 30mm it was way overexposed!
This is by far the best of the set, rest of them were off-camera as I was doing it all myself (I'm holding the glass just off-frame, and using my other hand to take the picture).
