Out and About: Events & Attractions
While participating in the 2010 L.M. Montgomery Conference, the L.M.M. Institute encourages visitors to take in the sights and sounds of the author's beautiful home province. To assist conference attendees with this, we have compiled a list of possible events and attractions for anyone interested. Each event offers links to key places or people, but as always, feel free to contact us if you have any questions - for instance, yes, we do know of a great little sushi place.
