“Harvest Festival is a noteworthy addition to our community calendar,” said Mayor Eric Westram. “Besides offering a fun-filled program, the event was created to collect fresh fruit and vegetables and non-perishable goods for Moisson Laurentides.
Entertainment
“So why not enjoy yourselves and give back to the community at the same time?” he added. “Take advantage of the entertainment, activities and food trucks on site and help us gather food for people in need.”
There will be a honey harvesting workshop held in the library starting at 10:30 a.m. The town’s bees have been buzzing away all summer long in their hives at Hamilton House – and now is the time to reap the rewards of their hard work.
