Good Morning, Haldimand County!
Here's What's Happening in Haldimand County This Weekend
Haldimand County is packed with things to do again this weekend. Markets, workshops, fundraisers, live music, and community meetups are all waiting for you to pencil them in.
While you are out and about, try to shop local whenever you can. Every coffee, craft, ticket, and treat keeps small businesses open and neighbours employed. It really does make a difference.
So make a plan, grab a friend, and say yes to a few local plans this week. Good people, great events, and plenty of reasons to get out of the house.
