Adventure Awaits! Live. Love. Play. LOCAL!

This was a project during the pandemic - and we found a way to make lemonade :) Join me and Chris Scerri, as we explore our local region, cruise the country roads, and visit our favourite spots and hidden gems!

One of the fun things we enjoy doing is going on random road trips. It’s amazing what you discover when you least expect it. You know, one of those AH-HA moments that completes your life while MIND-BLOWN. And with Chris along for the ride, you know there’ll be music. Lots of it. Each video will include a soundtrack of original song(s) from local musicians to set the mood.

This adventures series is a labour of love - with a shout out to our beautiful BruceGreySimcoe region where it’s a four season playground all year round. Amazing outdoor activities, pristine shores of Georgian Bay, breathtaking views from the Niagara Escarpment, serene conservation areas, scrumptious farm-to-table agri scene, award-winning wineries and craft breweries and so much more!

So pump up the volume, grab your favourite bevvie - and enjoy the ride!

About Us… Marissa Dolotallas & Chris Scerri

After owning an outdoor store in the city and leaving it all behind in pursuit of… well, the outdoors - we landed in Meaford on beautiful South Georgian Bay. Since then, we’ve each carved our own paths - but we’ve always found a way to work together - like this project: Adventures in BruceGreySimcoe - where we can combine both our passions: Adventures + Music, i.e. Rise and Shine Adventures meets Chris Scerri Presents! Last but never least… our favourite furry friend… Sawyer! He loves the outdoors just as much as we do - and even has his own store… See Sawyer Run!
