Staying cool in Quinte

  • July 22, 2011 at 1:43 pm

The Quinte area experienced a major heat wave July 21. QNet News Reporter Renée Rodgers took to the streets of Belleville and Trenton to find out how people were staying cool. Ice cream and cold lemonade seemed to be the refreshments of choice. Adults joined their children at community splash pads. People tried to catch a breeze at the Belleville waterfront. Some even jumped in the bay.
