IT'S A WRAP!
After a summer of entertaining, Open Air Weekends are over for another year. One of Ontario’s greatest summer festivals might be over, but Amherstburg is just getting started!
A growing number of unique local shops, an expanding art scene (over 30 murals and reproductions), fine dining, and the constant beauty of our town’s heritage buildings are still yours to discover and enjoy.
Calling all Junior Book Club Members!
Our next meet up is this Saturday. Join us Saturday, September 7th at 2pm. Once again this was a "Take your pick, or read them both" month, so we will be talking about two books! Join us for this double feature chat followed by a fun activity.
If you don't have the books yet, stop into the shop today! 15% off for our Junior Book Club members. If you're not a member yet, simply email us or ask at the desk!
