Update: 07:19 EST. Well, it’s dawn. 🙃🌞
Update: 09:35 EST. It’s worth the drive to this tiny hamlet!
Heavy rain overnight and the risk of continuous foul weather for the rest of the day. We cannot risk the safety of our products (humidity can shorten our product’s shelf-life… and potential lightening strikes and waterspouts can ruin our tent, no?). September 2, 2026 = no go.
We plan on being at the Owen Sound Farmers Market, September 5, 2026. Count on seeing us at the Tobermory harbour September 9/26.
The Tobermory Marketplace is a fantastic venue and we really wanted to be there today. However, the poor air quality makes us setting up in the heat and smoke a risky adventure for us.
Our monitor’s purple light emitting diodes signal too many floating particles in the air column. The dawn outside our home is also a green-brown hue. Yeahhhhhhh, we can’t sling dog & cat treats during this extreme weather (atmospheric conditions) event. We’ll reschedule for NEXT WEDNESDAY, 10 A.M. UNTIL 1 P.M., JULY 22ND.
YOU CAN ALWAYS TEXT-CALL US AT 226-923-2968 IF YOU’D LIKE TO DROP BY AND BUY BISCUITS. WE ARE LOCATED ABOUT 15 MINUTES AWAY FROM THE HIGHWAY (DYERS BAY ROAD, ON-6 TURN-OFF). OR, WE CAN MEET YOU AT THE PARKING LOT BY DYERS BAY ROAD. CALL AHEAD TO NEGOTIATE TERMS, EH.
I encourage you to add the following website to your bookmarks. https://map.purpleair.com/air-quality-standards-aqhi-plus?opt=%2F1%2Fmetric%2Flp%2Fa10%2Fp604800%2FcECCC&select=284590#8.02/44.737/-81.957 …and then zoom out on the interactive map.
What’s the best way to deal with negative thoughts?
I appreciate the brave souls who persevered the heat and visited the event.
Today’s market experienced +41C humidex conditions. Gusting winds. And overheating patrons. We enjoyed the event and are REALLY glad to be recovering in our (Evolve Builders Grp. [Guelph]) strawbale home in the forest. Cooks, your Mitsubishi heat-pump is providing cooling relief!
50/50 cat treats, 50/50 nip fiend, dog treats, $1 used books, knitted creations, and 3D printed tchotchkes (Owen Sound based).
07:25 EST. Stay tuned. https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1587648423361338&set=a.508477471278444

When is the last time you took a risk? How did it work out?
We want to offer dog treats, comfortable (pup) jackets, 3D printed kit, paw wax, books, and human-hats. And that means selling our wares. Success? Ask us again at the end of the season!!
Yes! Call ahead. 226-923-2968.
Expect winter driving conditions, eh. Need dog treats? Email info@blackdogbiscuits.ca

It’s now Sunday evening, December 7/25 at 20:35 EST. And we arrived home safely. There’s plenty of snow clearing to be done tomorrow. If you were able to attend the Bayshore Community Centre, thank you for your patronage! PN.

There’s over 60 booths at this year’s event. I’ll add my impressions of my favourite vendors in my blog. My opinions are my own (and are supportive, 0% snark). I RESPECT ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE TAKING THE RISK TO SHOW OFF THEIR WARES. This event is a celebration of small business owners. Come on by and check it out, eh.
Today’s market runs until 14:00 EST. Come on up to the tip of the North Bruce Peninsula. The road conditions are clear & dry! the St. Nicholas Bazaar.
