The third annual “Soup’s On” event in support of the Heart & Stroke Foundation took place on Thursday (February 9) at St. Anne’s Centre in St. Thomas. The well attended event has become a popular lunch-time February getaway, one in which a host of community members come together in aid of a good cause. Eleven local restaurants and businesses competed for the coveted People's Choice Award for their soup with the proceeds supporting Heart and Stroke Research. (Photos by Mark Girdauskas)
