River Bookshop would like to offer congratulations to the River Town Times on their 30th anniversary. 
Amherstburg is lucky. Most small towns have lost their local newspapers, but ours is thriving.
Check out this week's paper for a retrospective on the 30th anniversary. Grab a copy in the bookshop next time you're in!
So much to see and do in Amherstburg!
We hope to see you downtown this weekend.
