A horse drawn carriage shared the streets in Shawville on Saturday, as Paul Scheel, joined by his dog Molly and Sean Patrois gave tours of Shawville as a part of the Shawville 150 celebrations.

The carriage ride was originally intended to be a sleigh ride around the fairgrounds, but given the warmer conditions, organizers opted for a carriage tour around Shawville instead.

The tour started from the arena, went down Campbell Street to Argyle, then on to Victoria Street, then onto Centre Street via Bristol Street, back around to Victoria, up to Dufferin and Lake, and then back to the arena via Lang.

Scheel said events like this is the reason he has the horses and a carriage. He added that he definitely plans to participate more as Shawville 150 events continue throughout the year, including representing the Shawville Lions Club on Canada Day.
