The Wallacetown Fair ended on Sunday under sunny skies. It's the last fair of the year in Elgin County and was packed with things to do for the entire family.

The acquisition of Hawk Cliff Woods by the Thames Talbot Land Trust was celebrated on September 18th on site at Hawk Cliff Woods.

The sun shone on the 5th annual edition of The Shamrock Shuffle on Saturday morning. More than 200 participants turned out to walk, run and raise funds for Inn Out of the Cold, St. Thomas.

The Shamrock Shuffle will be back for its 5th year on Saturday March 19th, 2016. The inaugural edition took place on a balmy March day in 2012. Participants in subsequent years have enthusiastically walked, run and shuffled their way through ice, fog and rain to raise money for Inn Out of the Cold.

The 2016 World Tubing Championships had it all – a great tubing competition, plenty of family activities, community spirit and successful fundraising in support of the Special Care Nursery at St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital. The event received rave reviews from competitors, participants and spectators for all of the happenings from the Friday opening ceremonies to the finals and awards on Saturday afternoon

The annual Seniors Picnic in the Park promises entertainment, door prizes, and lots to see and learn with a host of vendors and community displays. This year’s event on July 8th delivered all that and a perfect weather day to enjoy it all in Pinafore Park.

It was a great day to ride walk or run to the St. Thomas Railway Corridor. There kids of all ages could learn about bike safety, take part in a bicycle parade, win prizes, listen to live music or enjoy a healthy snack. The third annual Bike Festival (and the second event held downtown) is organized through Elgin St. Thomas Public Health and a special organizing committee.
