THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS
Only two weeks 'til Christmas. Plan your trip to Amherstburg with friends and family this weekend. Finish up your shopping, make a reservation with the Hole in the Wall lounge bar, enjoy drinks and food, and finish the night with a moonlit walk along the River Lights.
Start your traditions at the corner of Ramsay and Richmond. Experience the magic with family, or plan a romantic night out with the one you love. Amherstburg is bursting with small town charm.
Looking for a hostess or housewarming gift? A book of poetry pairs perfectly with a bottle of wine, making it the perfect choice to give a friend or family member as a holiday gift for hosting. Visit River Bookshop's large selection of poetry, which includes many titles written by local authors. Join us Sunday for a poetry reading with two local authors, and have your gift signed and personalized.
Marty Gervais and Peter Hrastovec will be joining us for a fireside poetry reading filled with holiday cheer. Join us Sunday, December 15th at 4PM upstairs in the Hole in the Wall for hot chocolate and a holiday-themed poetry reading. Admisson for this event is FREE. For more details click here.
