Tis the season ALLREADY ???

A new month, December, starts tomorrow. I don't know why this should be so crazy but where did November go? I think I said that about October too. What a crazy year it's been, good but crazy.
OK so we went live with our website which when all is well looks great, but I am having some design curves. The boxes on our home page ad space didn't seem to fit any picture so we changed it, by we I mean Chris @ Atomic North changed the size to better accommodate our pictures. That was a learning curve. Anthony @ Aurora-bits.com helped me thank goodness by doing the math on the changes we needed to ask for. I had no idea what size, dimension or ratio the pictures should be.
Wazoo our AGM is done. What a compliment to the BIA, Mayor Deb Shewfelt, Deputy Mayor John Grace, and councilors David Yates, Judy Crawford, Myles Murdock, and Kevin Morrison all took the time to attend. Wow was I feeling proud. No joke
Ladies Night Out was a huge success. 23 stores participated this year, that's double the number from last year.
But here's what's not great. ... stores that do not participate, 23 stores pitched in to share the cost of posters and radio and print ads this year, but 3 stores said they did not want to be involved, which is fine. The kicker is this, they were open Ladies Night Out extended hours to take advantage of the busy evening .. that just smacks of bad taste in my opinion.
On to happy news we have a new business in town, say hello to The Lake Huron Centre for Coastal Conservation on 74 Hamilton Street. www.lakehuron.ca We also have a few shifting around, Remax has moved to the old Shoe Barn location on 34 Newgate Street and The Shoe Barn has moved on to The Square.
Gosh the other evening event I meant to mention was the open house "Then" and "Now" photo exhibit Lynn Moreland had at her place Westcoast Photography. Absolutely first class photographs great food amazing turn out and a feet of display that must have taken hours to put together. Stop in and see her on West Street and plan to spend some time. The collection of her photographs of how the buildings looked then and how they look now will keep you suspended there an hour anyway. Hats off to Lynn and the Heritage Committee for a fine job in display and curating the exhibit. Thank you Lynn for your passion in Heritage buildings and preserving what we cherish.
