MONSTER MONTH IN ELORA!

Every October is MONSTER MONTH in Elora!

Tim Murton, local Elora artist, is the Master Creator of the ghostly Halloween creatures who hang around town every October, from lampposts and on storefronts. In 2007 Tim Murton created his own "Twilight Zoo" in his garden studio on Mill Street and held workshops for local merchants and residents to construct their own spirited wire and gauze mache Halloween monsters to display in front of their shops and homes.

Every year in October Al Koop conducts Haunted Lantern Walking Tours and the Elora Gorge Cinema shows classic horror movies. Many merchants and restaurants throughout Elora participate in special Halloween events like Trick or Treat and Monster Meals.

ELORA
"In Love with Elora
(2007)

Elora's citizens feel strongly about preserving their beautiful heritage, culture and lifestyle.

In 2007 Elora has a vibrant and active Music Festival Programme, Centre of the Arts & Studio Tours, Historic Walking Tours, Horse Races, and a beautifully rebuilt historic David St. bridge over the Elora Gorge's Irvine River.

The Victoria St. Walking Bridge, the footbridge from the Little Folks parking lot to the centre of the Mill Street West shopping district, and the original gateway to historic Elora, was closed in 2003 and dismantled in February 2006.

Here are our photos of  Elora's Victoria St. Walking Bridge as it is now and the way it was.

The Little Folks Property proposed development by Riverwalk Properties (The Toronto Distillery District developers) is still under consideration. The walking bridge will hopefully be restored as part of this development.
