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.

THE 2025 OWEN SOUND ARTISANS HOLIDAY SHOW. THE ARTISANS HOLIDAY SHOW IN OWEN SOUND, ONTARIO, CANADA, NORTH AMERICA, EARTH, 3RD ROCK FROM THE SUN. Meta-facebook link.

This {{{{was}}} the big one for the North and South Bruce Peninsula, Ontario, Canada. We’ll be DRIVING CAREFULLY over to this venue, as there’s an ORANGE ALERT for potential snow squalls blasting away from Lion’s Head all the way up to Tobermory, Ontario, Canada. Link to Environment Canada.

so, who’s going to be offering their wares at the event?

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.
