Bethany, Kawartha Lakes, Ontario
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bethany is a lively village on Ontario's highway 7A, a few kilometers west of Peterborough, Ontario, the region's largest city.
It is a gateway community, in that it services the local winter sport ski hill areas several kilometers north of the village. Around 2000, there has been significant real-estate development, mostly in the form of individual dwellings. The community is home to an annual summer drama festival, in which local thespians participate. To the north are downhill and cross-country ski areas, mostly accessible by paved county roads. Some outstanding example of contemporary log homes can be seen on the south-facing slopes of local ski communities. The Bethany Athletic Society sponsors an annual fun weekend in the village's park for the May 24 holiday. The weekend normally consists of Friday fireworks and games, Saturday baseball, a Sunday car show, and an open parade for citizens on Monday.
