Fenelon Falls Got Heart
Submitted by Dana Bachman
Today, Saturday, November 28, was a beautiful sunny day. As I travelled around doing my errands in Fenelon Falls I was struck by what a big-hearted community we are. At Sobeys, a lady in a wheelchair was sitting beside the “Out” door collecting money for the Salvation Army. In a corner of the Sobeys parking lot, two young boys were waving plastic jugs of windshield washer fluid. Trentside Baptist church was offering windshield washer fluid fill up...for free! Not even asking for a donation.

Back to Basics
Submitted by Marina Hodson
How many times have you heard the phrase “unprecedented times” over the past eight months? Well, you are about to hear it again. For most of my adult life, I have done things that I assumed to be common in most homes. I cook, bake bread, can, preserve and pressure cook; I know how to sew, knit, crochet and cross-stitch. Don’t ask me how I learned these skills, but I just thought we all picked them up along the way. As I got older and spoke to others, I came to realize that these were often considered antiquated and uncommon hobbies and skills – until now that is!

Play the "Lake Cameron" Puzzle
Submitted by Anne Kulmala
My sister and Step Mom made the trek to Fenelon Falls from Paris, Ontario late this summer. COVID could no longer keep them away as our family added 2 new members, one in June and one in August. 2 new babies, 2 new Grandchildren for me and new Great Grandchildren for Jean Kulmala, my Step Mom. We had a “distanced” visit and walked down along the beach with some of the kids. It was a beautiful windy day with sunlight sparkling off the waves and a perfect place to be able to meet. It reminded me just how fortunate we are to live in this beautiful playground we call Fenelon Falls. My sister Barbara MacDonald, has created an online puzzle of Cameron Lake from a photo she took at Garnet Graham Park. You are invited to enjoy the jigsaw puzzle at the following link: https://www.jigsawplanet.com/?rc=play&pid=0acf60940814
