Lush gardens and bright, colourful accents around old-world architecture. A show-stopper.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Dreaming the fable<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Hazelnut Inn, being the ultimate dream project, truly had a fairytale beginning. A little more than 10 years ago, Peter and Hailey Sawatzky were lucky enough to travel to Europe for their honeymoon. During their trip, they spent a little time in Italy and had the opportunity to stay in a beautifully restored tower in an old Roman villa. Peter and Hailey had a wonderful experience, and the visit sparked a dream of building their own magical getaway back home.<\/p>\n

But dreams alone don\u2019t magically turn into castles. Something like this takes a whole lot of planning and even more hard work. Fortunately, they had the skills and experience to build such a structure, for Peter and Hailey are partners with Dan and Janis Sawatzky in the Imagination Corporation. This one-of-a-kind Canadian sign company specializes in the design and fabrication of dimensional signs and photo opportunities primarily for the theme park industry across North America and beyond.<\/p>\n

Signs, by the Sawatzkys\u2019 description, are anything that draws attention to the customer\u2019s product, service, or business. An underground dwelling, explorer\u2019s villa, enchanted castle, and all the related details fit neatly inside that definition.<\/p>\n
