The Amazing Kreskin with Sally and Ace of the Sunny Rock Bed and Breakfast in the Haliburton Highlands

With a showman’s flair, a comedian’s wit, and the capacities of a bona fide Mentalist or thought reader, The Amazing Kreskin has, for some six decades, dramatized the unique facets of the human mind…his own. His very name has become an integral part of pop culture throughout the world, invoked in comedy clubs, comic strips, print stories, and TV shows from sitcoms on through national magazines.

The Amazing Kreskin was invited to the Ontario Senior Games as a final night entertainer for the athletes, volunteers and guests. The following night he entertained 350 adults at the Northern Lights Pavillion in Haliburton Village as the Guest entertainer of the Haliburton Highlands Lions Club. I had the good fortune to attend that show and it was incredible and very entertaining.

The Anazing Kreskin (Glenn Ottaway and Richard Forget friends of Kreskin) stayed at the Sunny Rock Bed and Breakfast in the Haliburton Highlands Ontario.

Clark Robertson recently was a guest of the Sunny Rock Bed and Breakfast in the Haliburton Highlands. Clark is a Don Cherry Impersonator and travels to special events accoss Canada sharing his craft.

With his eclectic array of props and razor-sharp comedic timing, Clark’s high-energy entertainment will be the highlight of your event.

In 25 years of performing, he’s polished his act to a high level of professionalism, delighting audiences at conventions, corporate events and trade shows. Clark can customize his show with original material for any audience or corporate theme.

He’s quick to develop a rapport with the crowd with his improvisational banter and innovative audience participation routines.

As Don Cherry he entertained the athletes, volunteers and visitors of the Ontario Winter Games held this February in the Haliburton Highlands Ontario.

Not long ago, Neil Campbell and his best pal, The Brown Dog Jiggs, celebrated with champagne and liver treats when one of them was declared Ontario’s best weekly newspaper columnist.
These award-winning columns for the Minden Times (Minden Ontario) about their lives together in the Haliburton Highlands woods have been collected in a book called Cell Phones and Sap Buckets: Six Years on Sapsucker Ridge.

For a preview of the book, please click on:
www.crystalimagestudio.com/preview/cpsb.pdf
Neil Campbell, retired from a long career at The Globe and Mail, typed the stories, however Jiggs is the real star of the book. Jiggs takes Neil on long walks and gives him little glimpses of the secret lives led by the creatures who live all around them.

They watch a romance between two snapping turtles and the unfolding of a sibling rivalry in a heron nest that turns fatal. A hungry fawn sucks on Neil’s pantleg and a bear swats Jiggs.

Jiggs noses out clues while Neil savours the changing of the seasons. Along the way, he deals with the challenges of living off the hydro grid on 50 acres of upland hardwood forest in the Haliburton Highlands Ontario two miles from the nearest public road.

When Campbell’s not being walked by the dog, Neil makes maple syrup, cuts his own firewood and works to preserve the Haliburton Highlands landscape as a member of the Haliburton Highlands Land Trust.

Also in the book are 15 original drawings by Haliburton artist Charlie Teljeur.

Campbell’s 40 year as a professional journalist included Ontario stops with the Richmond Hill Liberal, Oakville Daily Journal-Record, Oakville Beaver and Owen Sound Sun-Times, along with the Edmonton Journal, The Canadian Press, and 26 years with The Globe and Mail.
