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.

Elora River and
Street Music Festival
(July 2001)
Elora Festival Days in July 2001
attracted record audiences of music lovers and visitors to Historic Elora,
to listen to a brass band performing on a barge on the river
and costumed singers on the streets. Wonderful festive days in
Pictures!
