Social Distancing Cleaning
Submitted by Kathy Armstrong
Wondering what to do in this time of social distancing now that the house is organized and there are only sports re-runs on TV? Or what to do with the kids? How about cleaning up the roadsides when you are out for a walk? Don't worry, it's not crowded. Grab a pair of gloves and 3 bags and sort as you pick up - a bag each for beer cans, plastic recycling and garbage. Here's what we have collected on country roads in our neighbourhood.

Acts of Kindness
A quick search of “good news websites” brings up lots of suggestions but they lack Canadian and local content. We know there are lots of good news stories and acts of kindness right here in Fenelon Falls so we’d love to hear from you. Whether it’s a curbside birthday greetings, sidewalk free pantries, buying a meal for a healthcare worker, or delivering groceries for someone in self isolation, every kind act matters. Flood our inbox (submissions@explorefenelonfalls.com) or the Explore Fenelon Falls page with your stories and ideas so we can spread the sunshine and laughter. Let’s keep the heart for Fenelon beating strong.

Celebrate Easter at Home and Win!
This year we have had to make changes to our community Easter Eggstravaganza event. While we are all at home trying to make the best of our new situation, we wanted to help entertain you from the comfort of your living room. On Thursday, April 9th, an Easter-themed activity package will be released in the Town Crier!
We also want to encourage residents and businesses to put up a picture of an Easter Egg in this window for passers-by to see. We look forward to seeing what everyone creates! By posting your window eggs or activity package creations on Facebook or Instagram with #ExploreFenelonFalls, you are eligible to win one of five $25 gift certificates to a local business of your choice!

Meet and Greet with Fred Walker
Submitted by Anne Kulmula
Have you ever wondered what Tarot is really about, why it works, how it works? Reading Tarot cards has come a long way since being stereotyped as a fortune-telling item, to a tool that can be of great assistance in many areas of one's life. Perhaps you have a burning question about the direction your life is heading or need some clarification on decisions you are making or sometimes just a check-in with ourselves through this ancient system of understanding. To this end a Meet and Greet gathering will be held on Saturday, February 22nd at 1 pm at Curious, 10-B Water St. in Fenelon Falls.
