Well, the countdown is on.
This is the final weekend to get your holiday shopping out of the way. I still have some odds and ends to wrap up. But I’m surprised — I actually appear to be in pretty good shape. If you’re a last-minute shopper, just remember to give yourself a break, plan ahead so you know what to look for and be prepared to pack your patience. And good luck!
Here’s what’s happening in Bradford and Innisfil in the coming days:
Drop-in family storytime
Join staff at the Lakeshore branch of the Innisfil ideaLAB and Library (967 Innisfil Beach Rd.) Saturday, Dec. 21 for the next instalment of this weekly family event. Expect an hour of stories, songs, crafts and playtime. Get to know other families in your community while nurturing your child's love of books and reading. All ages are welcome, though it is considered most suitable for kids six and under. This event is free, it runs from 10 to 11 a.m. and no registration is required.
