Main Street shops stay open late, pour the cider, and roll out exclusive one-night-only deals, so you can jump-start holiday shopping (or treat yourself) while supporting small-town retailers. Grab your besties, a reusable tote, and hit the sidewalk-sale glow. (my wife made me include this one 🫡)

You know that one house on your street that looks like it was plucked straight out of a Hallmark movie? Yeah… that could be your house.

The Christmas Light Guys roll up with commercial-grade lights, install everything safely, fix it if a bulb misbehaves, and take it all down come January. While you sip cocoa inside pretending you did it yourself.

No ladders. No tangled cords. No frostbite. Just instant “wow” from your neighbours (and maybe a few jealous drive-bys).

Our Community Calendar covers Grey & Bruce Counties. It’s a large area, so if we missed an event we are sorry, we will do better next time!

Our Community Calendar was getting a bit too enthusiastic. Turns out stuffing a week’s worth of local fun into one email makes for a very long scroll.

So we’ve given it its own space! Click the button below to check out the full lineup of events this week.

Hidden in the small village of Flesherton, The Gate is one of those restaurants you almost don’t want to tell people about, because it still feels like a local secret.

The cozy dining room feels more like someone’s farmhouse kitchen than a formal restaurant, and the menu shifts with whatever’s fresh that week from nearby farms.

Think wood-grilled meats, handmade pastas, and seasonal plates with a Mediterranean twist. The kind of food that’s rustic, creative, and full of flavour without ever feeling fussy.

It’s the perfect stop after a day exploring the Beaver Valley or the local art shops around Markdale and Flesherton.

Just a short drive from Hanover lies Allan Park Conservation Area. A hidden swell of forest, kettle ponds and trails tucked away from the usual tourist routes.

With over 16 km of paths weaving through hardwoods and quiet water features, it’s the kind of place where you can actually hear the forest breathing.

Head there with a thermos and a good book, linger past the turn-around hour, and savour the calm before winter sets in.
