Taste of Nova Scotia Maps Out Good Cheer, Lobster, and Chowder Trails for Fall 2019

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia (PRWEB)

Fall in Nova Scotia offers travelers leaf-peeping opportunities to rival those in New England, while also rewarding visitors with culinary exploration at seasonal festivals and along its signature Good Cheer Trail, Lobster Trail, and Chowder Trail.

Taste of Nova Scotia’s Trail programs feature new participating venues, hands-on experiences, and prize packages. Each culinary Trail details dozens of stops to taste, imbibe, and enjoy a multitude of Nova Scotia’s signature culinary experiences along the province’s 4,500 miles of coastline.

Nova Scotia has a rich culinary heritage along with an equally long legacy in cultivating locally produced wine and beer. The province produces a quarter of Canada’s seafood and boasts a billion-plus dollar fish and seafood export industry annually. Grapes have been grown since the early 1600s and today’s wineries receive international acclaim, while locally brewed beer dates back to the mid-18th century.

The Nova Scotia Harvest Wine Festival celebrates the province’s growing wine industry through October 31 with a calendar of events, including tastings, vineyard tours, wine-paired dinners, sommelier picnics, and more. A full list of events and locations can be found at https://nsharvestwinefestival.ca/

“In Nova Scotia we have the unique ability to tell our story through food and drink and through the people who contribute to our culinary heritage, from lobster fishers and farmers to vintners and brew masters,” said Emily Haynes, executive director, Taste of Nova Scotia.

Trail Passports

Each Trail has its own passport with a map, description of venues, and a card for visitors to collect stamps as they visit participating locations. Once a certain number of stamps are collected, passports can be sent digitally or by mail to enter to win prizes, from tee-shirts and culinary tours to fresh lobster shipped right to your door depending on the Trail. Visitors can get all three Trail passports at a participating Trail stop locations or can access the digital versions at http://www.novascotiaculinarytrails.com.

The three culinary trails are province wide and represent all seven regions of Nova Scotia, including Halifax, South Shore, Yarmouth and Acadian Shore, Bay of Fundy and Annapolis Valley, Northumberland Shore, Cape Breton Island and the Eastern Shore.

Good Cheer Trail

With 84 participating locations, the Good Cheer Trail is Canada’s first and only winery, brewery, cidery, and distillery trail. French settler and cartographer Samuel de Champlain established the Order of Good Cheer in 1606 in Port Royal near the Bay of Fundy. Today’s Good Cheer Trail celebrates the legacy of Champlain’s Order of Good Cheer, one of the first known gastronomic societies in North America.

Among the 16 wineries featured are distinctive locations such as the Avondale Sky Winery and Restaurant, where the tasting room is located in a church built in 1837, and Lightfoot & Wolfville Vineyards, Nova Scotia’s only certified biodynamic vineyard. Travelers can partake in tours and tastings at each featured winery, 11 of which also make Tidal Bay, the first wine appellation for Nova Scotia. A crisp, aromatic white wine, it displays the singular characteristics of the province’s cool climate and pairs perfectly with local seafood.

With 48 breweries and brew pubs on the Good Cheer Trail, visitors can sample award-winning IPAs, ales and lagers, along with a variety of truly “local” craft beers. The Oyster Stout at Sober Island Brewing in Eastern Passage is made with real oysters to infuse their stout with a true taste of the sea. At Boxing Rock in Shelburne the deliciously refreshing Sour Mash Cranberry Wheat Ale is made with Nova Scotia cranberries.

As with wine and beer production, the seven cideries and 10 distilleries are craft and small-batch producers, utilizing local ingredients, including locally grown apples, berries and other produce. Among the participants is Steinhart Distillery, who recently won the award for Best Classic Gin from Canada at the 2019 World Gin Awards in London, England, and Halifax’s first cidery, Chain Yard Urban Cidery.

Once 10 stamps have been collected, visitors can enter a drawing to win one of three grand prize Good Cheer tour experiences; at 15 stamps travelers can also earn a complimentary Good Cheer Trail tee-shirt (supplies are limited). For information on the Good Cheer Trail, visit http://www.goodcheertrail.com.

Lobster Trail

With 44 trail stops, including 40 restaurants, two seafood retailers and two lobster experiences on the map, the Lobster Trail offers lovers of this hearty crustacean a wide variety of classic and innovative dishes, from lobster poutine and lobster eggs benedict, to lobster tacos, fondue, and, of course, the traditional boiled lobster dinner.

Now in its second year, the Lobster Trail offers two experiences in quintessential Nova Scotia locations: Cape Breton Highlands National Park where visitors will learn about and enjoy a traditional lobster boil; and on the Peggy’s Cove Boat Tours & Lobster Dinner visitors will enjoy a savory lobster dinner during a two-hour boat tour.

Among the 40 restaurants featured this year are the Shore Club Lobster Suppers, celebrating 83 years of serving the original Nova Scotia Lobster Supper, and Halls Harbour Lobster Pound & Restaurant where visitors can witness the world’s highest tides on the Bay of Fundy while feasting on a number of delicacies, from lobster dinners and lobster rolls to lobster mac n’ cheese and lobster quesadillas.

Once visitors collect between three and 10 stamps, they will be eligible for three grand prize draws by submitting their passports via mail or digitally. For details, visit http://www.novascotialobstertrail.com.

Chowder Trail

Nova Scotia is home to Canada’s original Chowder Trail, first launched in 2011. Travelers can experience 59 seafood chowders across the province without tasting the same recipe twice. Each restaurant has its own methods and distinctive flavors – from smoked haddock and corn chowder to bacon and lobster chowder – that reflects each region of the province and family traditions.

Many visitors love to sample as many chowders as possible as they navigate their way around Nova Scotia. Among the highlights are Charlene’s famous seafood chowder at Charlene’s Bayside Restaurant & Café in Whycocomagh on Cape Breton Island; the fresh seafood chowder at Evan’s Fresh Seafoods & Restaurant on the Dartmouth waterfront at Alderney Landing; and, on the Eastern Shore, known for its beaches and surfing, visitors can enjoy made-to-order seafood chowder at the Rose & Rooster Café featuring local haddock, shrimp, scallops and lobster.

Cape Breton boasts 14 Chowder Trail participants, the highest concentration in the province. For more information, visit http://www.novascotiachowdertrail.com.

“Visitors will find cross over among the Trail stops, for example more than 30 Chowder Trail stops are also on the Lobster Trail and five are included on the Good Cheer Trail,” said Haynes. “Which just means more opportunities for visitors to sample their way across Nova Scotia…and more chances for them to collect stamps for a chance to win Trail prizes.”

Prevent Blindness Declares October as Contact Lens Safety Awareness Month to Help Educate Millions of Users on the Best Ways to Keep Eyes Healthy

Leave a comment


News Image

Prevent Blindness declares October as “Contact Lens Safety Awareness Month” to help educate consumers on the best ways to keep eyes healthy.

“Because contact lenses are medical devices, the first step for anyone interested in purchasing contact lenses should be making an appointment with an eyecare professional,” said Jeff Todd, president and CEO of Prevent Blindness.


CHICAGO (PRWEB)

An estimated 45 million people in the United States wear contact lenses, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Prevent Blindness, the nation’s oldest volunteer non-profit eye health organization, has declared October as Contact Lens Safety Awareness Month to educate the public on the best ways to care for their eyes through safe use and care of contact lenses.

The CDC also states that serious eye infections that can lead to blindness affect up to one out of every 500 contact lens users per year. Yet, between 40- 90 percent of contact lens wearers do not properly follow the care instructions for their contact lenses.

Many consumers may not be aware that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates contact lenses and certain contact lens care products as medical devices. Additionally, the FDA states that contact lenses are not over-the-counter (OTC) devices, and companies that sell them as such are misbranding the device and violating Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulations by selling contact lenses without having a valid prescription.

According to a recent consumer survey from the American Academy of Optometry, 11 percent of consumers have worn decorative, non-corrective contact lenses. Of those, 53 percent purchased them illegally without a prescription.

“Because contact lenses are medical devices, the first step for anyone interested in purchasing contact lenses should be making an appointment with an eyecare professional,” said Jeff Todd, president and CEO of Prevent Blindness. “If it’s determined that contact lenses are right for the patient, a prescription is required for purchase for all types of contact lenses, even the decorative ones.”

Any time a foreign object or material is placed in the eye, there is an increased risk of complications. All contact lens wearers should always follow an eye doctor’s instructions about care and cleaning of the lenses.

Prevent Blindness strongly recommends contact lens wearers contact an eye doctor if they experience the following:

  • Unexplained eye discomfort or pain

  • Redness of the eye

  • Watering eyes

  • Vision change

For more information on contact lens safety, please call (800) 331-2020 or visit http://www.preventblindness.org/wearing-contact-lenses.

About Prevent Blindness

Founded in 1908, Prevent Blindness is the nation’s leading volunteer eye health and safety organization dedicated to fighting blindness and saving sight. Focused on promoting a continuum of vision care, Prevent Blindness touches the lives of millions of people each year through public and professional education, advocacy, certified vision screening and training, community and patient service programs and research. These services are made possible through the generous support of the American public.

Find Out How To Get Cheaper Car Insurance Premiums

Leave a comment


News Image

“Clients can lower their insurance costs. Check our guide and tips”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Auto insurance can be a tremendous financial burden. We are talking about many thousands of dollars spent over the course of several years just to keep a coverage plan active. Saving even 10% of that value will give policyholders a consistent sum of money. Those seeking cheaper coverage should use http://compare-autoinsurance.org to get free quotes.

For more info about car insurance and free auto insurance quotes online, visit http://compare-autoinsurance.org/how-to-make-car-insurance-rates-cheaper/

Several influential factors are under policyholder’s control. Follow the next tips to reduce insurance costs:


  • Modify deductibles and adjust premiums to a more convenient level. Collision and comprehensive coverage will need deductibles to be paid by the insured. A high deductible means more financial responsibility. By asking for a higher deductible, the premiums will be reduced. The logic is simple: the client takes more financial risks and he will be compensated with cheaper premiums.

  • Avoid buying unnecessary medical coverage. Buying PIP and Medicare car coverage is not crucial if the policyholder has a solid health insurance plan. Just buy the minimum PIP if tis plan is required by the state.

  • Check for all available discounts. Each insurance company provides a series of discounts. Ask an insurance representative to provide a list with available discounts and prerequisites for each of them. The most common discounts include: low mileage, safety gear, multi-car insurance, loyalty and no-claim bonus. Also, ask for profession and affinity discounts.

  • Notify the insurer about major life changes. The insurance company may not be aware that some major aspects in the client’s life have changed. Getting married, working from home and retiring are very influential for insurance premiums. Drivers who retire should immediately announce the insurance company and check the annual mileage needed for a low-mileage discount.

Compare-autoinsurance.org is an online provider of life, home, health, and auto insurance quotes. This website is unique because it does not simply stick to one kind of insurance provider, but brings the clients the best deals from many different online insurance carriers. In this way, clients have access to offers from multiple carriers all in one place: this website. On this site, customers have access to quotes for insurance plans from various agencies, such as local or nationwide agencies, brand names insurance companies, etc.
