St. Peter's High School Students Bring It With Superhero Outfits During Head Of The Trent Regatta

We spotted a superhero team at Head of the Trent Saturday (September 29th) at Trent University that spectators loved—"Go Justice League!" shouted a few cheering fans. The team is composed of Grade 12 St. Peter's students Owen Barker (3rd seat, as Spider-Man), Sam Lapum as Robin, Trevor Leahy as Superman, Matt Lapum as Batman, and their coxie Emma Arsenal. "We had the option to either row in Peterborough unisuits, or go with our superhero ones," says Owen. "We decided to stand out and have a little fun with the crowd. This was a last minute decision, but judging by the crowd everyone seemed to enjoy the suits! To bad we can't wear them when competing for our school this coming spring!"

Cooler weather and the chance of rain didn't stop people from heading down to Millennium Park in Peterborough for Bikefest 2012 yesterday. Local shops Wild Rock and B!ke: The Community Cycling Hub were there to help give free tune-ups for bicycles.

Free swag and information about safer cycling were abundant, as well as lots of chat about future plans that the City of Peterborough hopes to implement to make for a more cycling-friendly city.

PtboPics & Coverage: Women's Only Event At Wild Rock

On Sunday evening, Wild Rock hosted a special Women's Only event from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. The first 50 women who had RSVP-ed for the event were welcomed with a bag of goodies as they arrived, including a travel mug from Marmot, a 3-visit pass to Goodlife and an assortment of other items. There were also door prizes and contests to enter for some fabulous prize packs. The place was bustling as women networked and chatted as they sipped wine and sampled horderves. It was a great evening, and one that I'm sure will become an annual event.
