WITCHES WALK NOW AN A'BURG TRADITION!
Over 100 children joined our Witches Walk Trick-or-Treat and Costume Contest last Saturday, and families came dressed to impress. Huge thank you to the 18 downtown businesses that participated and to our local judges.
Thank you River Bookshop, Richmond Popcorn Company, Burger 67, Evelyn's Candy House, Musicland, Owl’s Nest Emporium, White Woods Home, Hotel STRY, Flow Cafe & Bikes, The Panetteria, The O Bar and FRATE Street Food, The Barber Shop, Downtown Espresso Cafe, Murray Street Kitchen, Nuccelli’s Frozen Yogurt, and Pure Day Spa. The River Bookshop Witches will be back next October. We cannot wait to do this again next year.
One day left: we have a special on select Banned Books. This SALE ENDS THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31ST at 11:59PM!
We believe that people should be able to choose what they want to read, and that banning books is censorship. So we're shining a spotlight on some of our favourite challenged and banned books, and offering 15% off those books through October 31st. To see eligible titles, visit us in store or click below. Discount applied automatically online.

LIGHTS. CAMERA. ACTION. 
CLASSIC VINYL IS LOCAL
Vintage & Vinyl has been open at 60 Murray Street since 2007 and still not nearly enough people know it’s there. With the tremendous growth in popularity of vinyl records, it’s time you met owner Dylan Woodall and learned about his amazing collection of vinyl classics.
We are delighted that Dylan will be spinning records from his collection at the Hole In the Wall on Thursday, November 14th. Guests will enjoy classic hits from Ray Charles, Bruce Springsteen, the Beatles, Zeppelin, and many more. Dylan is also making some of his collection available for sale.
The Hole In the Wall: classic hits, an intimate and elevated setting, amazing wine selection, and great food. Go to theholeinthewall.ca to reserve a table. Looking forward to seeing you at Amherstburg’s newest hot spot.
