Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings. ~ William Arthur Ward
It's that special time of year again - cool crisp days and leaves turning brilliant colours. It is an occasion for families to get together. This is the time of year to reflect and think of all that we are thankful for. Have a wonderful, happy Thanksgiving!
Stock up at the Frontenac Farmers Market this Saturday, October 8 for your Thanksgiving fixings. The market will be closing for the season on October 29. Shop early and stock up the pantry now for the winter ahead. Verona is very lucky to have a farmer's market that brings us superb quality, locally produced, locally grown and locally homemade products every weekend. The market is located at Prince Charles Public School from 9 am to 2 pm.
