Remembrance Day Parade in Tatamagouche - just the first part of the procession captured here.

Welcome!

I don’t think that I imagined the first few flakes, or did I? I don’t know about you, but I don’t think I’m really ready for Winter yet.

I was pleased to see such a great turnout for the Remembrance Day Ceremony in Tatamagouche yesterday - folks of all ages. It was likely the driest one I can remember.

Lots of seasonal events to fill up the calendar this time around, and the first few flakes of snow here this morning will certainly help to put folks in the mood 🙂 I’m off to put together the next print issue, so talk soon and take care.

Race to 1000 - We’re at 968 subscribers. Will we make it to 1,000 in time for Christmas?? Please share :)
