Good Morning, Haldimand County

Here's What's Happening in Haldimand County This Week

If you’ve been waiting for your chance to question someone running for office, this is apparently your week.

The candidates are making the rounds, with a Ward 1 Q&A and meet-and-greet in Jarvis tonight, a mayoral debate and candidate meet-and-greet in Caledonia Wednesday, and Ward 5 candidates taking questions in Lowbanks Thursday. Bring your questions. Maybe bring a notebook.

Not feeling particularly political? No problem. There’s plenty else happening.

You can make a fresh fall centrepiece at GrandErie Home Hardware, combine dinner with painting at Bob’s Place, test your trivia knowledge at Concession Road Brewing or grab a microphone at Main 88 and discover whether karaoke sounds better after dark.

Catch the Ace is back at both the Caledonia and Dunnville Legions Wednesday, while Toronto Motorsports Park has evening open car lapping for anyone whose idea of a relaxing Wednesday involves considerably more horsepower.

There are farmers’ markets in Dunnville, Hagersville and Caledonia, plus enough euchre, Hoss and darts happening around the county to keep everyone’s competitive streak properly exercised.

And since fall lawn season is definitely here, GrandErie Home Hardware has some timely advice on how to winterize your lawn now for a healthier, greener comeback next spring.

Basically, whether you want to question a candidate, play some cards, make something, sing something or drive something very fast, Haldimand County has options.

Here’s what’s happening around the county over the next few days.
