Come on out to Steckle Farm for a fun filled FREE family day on Saturday, October 20th! Entertainment provided by the Strathyre Highland dancers, Irish Dancers, JD Magic, and Erick Traplin!  Play games, make a craft, learn how to milk a cow, and get your face painted by a fabulous artist from Bre Creative!  Emily Beatty Imagery will be on site, ready to take some amazing family photos for you, with packages stating at only $15.  Meals and snacks will be available to purchase, so pack your boots, smiles, (and maybe a hat!), and come have a great day!

 

Elora’s Monster March Parade is this Saturday evening beginning at 6:30! Get dressed in a scary costume and join the march — or watch from the sidelines sipping hot chocolate! The parade marches from MacDonald Square down Metcalfe along Mill to Melville! Either way, it’s an event not to be missed!
