Leprechauns in Fenelon
I was out in my woods and what did I hear,
The faint sound of hammers, far but near.
What could be making this very strange sound?
In the woods I went deeper, to have a look around.

The Royal Canadian legion Announces their Third Annual Literary Contest for Seniors
The restrictions in force respecting COVID-19 have impacted all our lives for almost a year. Many of us have much more time on our hands with no place to go or no one to visit. What better way to spend some of those hours than creating a poem, story or a biography of your life that might become a family treasure. Take heart Shakespeare wrote King Lear, Macbeth and Antony & Cleopatra during a plague lockdown in the early 1600’s hence you are in good company.
A Taste of Spring!
Submission by Vicky Groves of the Fenelon Falls Horticultural Society. As the sun gets stronger, are you starting to think “Spring”? Is the idea of gardening beginning to enter your mind? Have you considered joining the Fenelon Falls Horticultural Society to get some new ideas or maybe to participate with other like-minded individuals to not only beautify Fenelon but also to learn new approaches to gardening in your own yard, to educate in the community and/or to contribute to environmental restoration and preservation? We welcome new members and hope you will consider joining us!
The History of St. James Church
Submitted by Bev Jeeves. John W. Gardner, a pioneer for the “Common Cause Movement” in the second half of the 20th century, said, “History never looks like history when you are living through it.” Sometimes as we research history we don’t see what is relevant. History is found in many places in a community. We each have our family records and memorabilia. Local museums hold artifacts and archives of a community and provide exhibits. Regional, provincial and national archives hold vast amounts of records both physically and digitally for us to research and explore either in person, or during Covid-19, online. Fenelon Falls was just honoured with a second updated printing of “Fenelon Then and Now” which was sold out before it hit the pavement.
Spiced-Up Chili by TheDevineKitchen
A delicious chilli with a spice blend that lends its own personality and depth of flavour.
You won’t taste the cocoa powder or the cinnamon, but it elevates the flavour three-fold. The pimento makes the chilli taste as if it cooked for hours.
