While shopping isn't necessarily my favourite thing to do, I do enjoy finding gifts that I know that others will enjoy receiving. It's always fun to come across items that will be a guaranteed hit when they're unwrapped on Christmas morning.
Whether you shop in-store or online, there are plenty of options to choose from here in Lennox & Addington County. If you're looking for something for children, your spouse, your parents, or your in-laws (which hopefully you can defer the choosing to your spouse), chances are you can find what you need right here.
To be honest, before I started my internship here at the Museum and Archives, I hadn’t spent much time exploring Lennox and Addington County. Despite having boarded the ferry across to Adolphustown countless times and taken that scenic drive along Bath Road, I had never really paused to take in the beauty and history that Lennox and Addington has to offer.
If your chef skills are as subpar as mine are, nothing beats a delicious meal made by someone else. There's no prep work involved, no clean up is required, and let's face it -- it's actually edible.
While dining out at a local restaurant may feel a bit different these days, there are many great locations here in Lennox & Addington that are ready to host your bubble for a fantastic holiday meal. Many offer takeout, curbside pickup, delivery and online ordering options. Gift cards and certificates to local restaurants also make great stocking stuffers.
Join the L&A County Museum & Archives for a series of workshops with local artisan, Linda Fraser, as she teaches us how to create traditional holiday items with a twist! She will be sharing her passion for pottery, felting and creating wood decorations.
Video tutorials led by Linda will be posted on www.CountyMuseum.ca and available on-demand throughout the holiday season.
Here are the workshops... Enjoy!
