The TALL SHIPS® Are Coming, Get Your Boarding Pass By August 30,2013!

From August 31 to September 2, 2013, four Windsor-Essex communities will be working together to hold the Coastal Trails: Sails to See Festival.  This exciting festival will celebrate our regional collaboration bringing together four communities to commemorate their shared stories over the course of one jam-packed weekend. 

This year the focus of the festival is the Commemoration of the Battle of Lake Erie, a historic moment in 1812 that led to the burning of Sandwich Town, Amherstburg and the British loss of Lake Erie.  Our region will host a TALL SHIPS® festival, entitled "Sails to See" welcoming numerous tall ships to our region, with each port hosting family fun themed programming all weekend long.

Each community will have a unique signature event encouraging residents and visitors to explore and travel the area to each of our participating ports to experience the tall ships docked in our waters.

All communities will feature performers—both theatrical and musical, games, and other marine related activities celebrating the 200 years of Peace between Canada and the United States of America.   In keeping with the tradition of TALL SHIPS® festivals from around the world, lovers of art, music, food and wine, families young and old will attend this dynamic festival.

Back To School Savings Have Begun....Start With Your Ink Cartridges!

Cartridge World, the world’s leading retailer of eco-friendly ink and toner printer cartridges, is helping new college students in the Windsor area find the right printers this back-to-school shopping season.

As local students head to college this fall, their list of necessities seems never ending. In addition to text books and computers, a reliable printer is usually an essential purchase for any college student.

“Finding a top quality, budget-friendly printer isn't as easy as it sounds. Cartridge World can help,” said John Fraser, owner of Cartridge World - Windsor. “At Cartridge World, we‘re local home and office printing experts. Before jumping on the first ‘great printer deal’ you find, talk to one of our trained staff. We may be able to save a lot of headaches and a small fortune in the long run.”

 

Customers can purchase a printer through Cartridge World - Windsor, and the store’s staff is ready to assist and make recommendations on a variety of printer models. Cartridge World - Windsor also can help determine potential savings on ink and toner cartridges purchased through the store.

Over a four-year period, eco-friendly ink and toner cartridges for popular home printer models can save a student as much as $800 over new cartridge prices. Shipping is available if a local Cartridge World store isn’t located near a student’s college campus.

 

Fraser offers a few easy tips to help local students find the best printer to take to college:

1. Determine the cost for ink. Over the lifetime of a printer, the cost of ink can be 10 times as much as the purchase price of the printer.

2. Stay away from tri-color ink cartridges. They cost a fortune because when one color is empty, you need to replace the entire cartridge.

3. Look for a machine that will fit your room. The average dorm room is fairly small and your desk isn’t likely to have room for a big, bulky printer. Choose a printer that’s small enough to fit the space.

4. Evaluate your printing needs. Take into account what type of classes you will be taking, including if the class requires printing large research documents, high-quality photographs, etc.

5. Look for reliability. Take expert advice on printer reliability, read reviews and make sure the printer is easy to use.

With more than 1,400 stores across the globe, Cartridge World is the world’s largest specialty retailer of ink and toner printer cartridges. The company sells printer cartridges for home and office printers, copiers and fax machines.
