For those uncommon at heart, you’ll certainly appreciated this new roadside attraction located in Grand Pre, Nova Scotia. Of all the large roadside attractions in Nova Scotia , I think it’s safe to look at Mercury Rising and affectionately see it as an unconventional statue.
This stellar piece of art was created by sculpture artists Nicole Evans and Pat Farrell. Nicole and Pat are part of “Uncommon Common Art” a non for profit corporation.

Innovative’s sprightly events coordinator, Spencer Moody takes you for a spin through Apple Blossom’s ever popular fair. It’s evident Spencer has more than an vague idea of the sensational (and less than sensational) side affects caused by each and every individual carnival ride that he encounters. Spencer takes us for a tour through the labyrinth of lights, ride operators, cotton candy stands and of course the array of vibrant metal chariots (more often referred to as fair rides…). As for the remaining details, we’ll let the video speak for itself. The weird and wonderful world of a traveling fair. Enjoy the Apple Blossom weekend!
It’s almost physically impossible not to be brimming with happiness, the most uplifting time of the year in the Annapolis Valley has arrived, it’s the beginning of a promising summer. Our blossoms have peaked into a fresh array of shades in ivory whites, pretty pinks, popping purples, radiant reds and benevolent petals of blue.
Nick Cox, a musician in Nova Scotia, was artfully strumming his guitar on the Wolfville harbour wharf, when he was approached by a slightly eccentric character with a movie camera.
“Do you want to make a music video?” Steve Wilsack inquired, and before long, such a video was produced. Steve showed the rest of the crew at Innovative the film of Nick’s performance, and one member, Gabriel Both, was intrigued by the possibilities. “I knew that I could do something similar with my own music compositions,” said Gabe in a recent interview.
With Steve and the rest of the ‘Innovative Crew’, Gabe began developing his music to a music video. Many locations were utilized throughout the duration, among them, Wile’s Laundromat, The Wolfville Harbour Raft, the Skateboard park, Pete’s, and even the Wolfville town council meeting.
The public feedback was unanimous; everyone wanted to see and hear more.
After council said Wolfville was ‘busker-friendly’, Gabe performed on the streets in front of the Just Us! Cafe and Al Whittle theatre, the Front Street Cafe, the Creative Hair Salon, and even ‘The Market’ on Main Street.
Eventually, enough footage was collected, and Innovative set to producing a music video for his newest creation: “Robot in a Machine”

Classes are finished for Acadia, a group of relieved students decided to hit the Wolfville harbour yesterday afternoon, making way to the edge of the waterside where they plotted themselves on the ground entirely unaware of anything but their own circumference of friends. Approximately an hour later they were dismayed to find the surrounding area enveloped with water! The hastily made their way across in the knee deep (freezing) April water and found themselves safe on dry land. Wolfville experiences the Bay of Fundy’s record setting tides each day as water fills and drains from the Wolfville Harbour, which is the world’s smallest harbour. Innovative urges fellow wanderers to please take extra caution when exploring the water.
Spring fever has officially begun. The birds are singing in celebration of the fine weather we’re having in Annapolis Valley, NS.
Having a grand time exploring Wolfville’s woodland trails.
