It's that special time of year again - cool crisp days and leaves turning brilliant colours (a little more subdued this year). It is a time for families to get together. Our son is looking forward to spending the holidays with us, to enjoy some home cooked meals and a weekend of fishing. For him, it is a welcome respite from the hectic Toronto life. This is the time of year to reflect and think of all that we are thankful for. Have a wonderful, happy Thanksgiving!
Stock up at the Frontenac Farmers Market this Saturday for your Thanksgiving fixings. The market will be closing for the season on October 26. Shop early and stock up the pantry now for the winter ahead. Verona is very lucky to have a farmer's market that brings us superb quality, locally produced, locally grown and locally homemade products every weekend. Verona Lions Club, 9 am to 1 pm.
