Earth Week + Free Frozen Yogurt at The Country Cupboard
Earth week begins this year on Sunday April 18 and continues to Earth Day on April 22nd. Let’s work on saving the Earth every day with these simple steps below. Now more than ever we should be working to reduce our carbon footprint and maintain a healthy earth for generations to come. For the entire Month, the Country Cupboard is offering FREE frozen yogurt to anyone who does a little litter clean up. All you have to do is take a photo of the clean up and bring it into the store. Saving the earth and eating frozen yogurt while at it, not a bad deal.

Skip Amazon, Shop Prime in Fenelon Falls!
Here we go again … April 2021 is looking a lot like April 2020. After a full year of COVID, our downtown small businesses have the virtual and contact-free shopping experience down to a science. Thankfully Marylee and I were able to get out in the sun and shop the village one last time before the stay at home order commences.
Roasted Sweet Potatoes by TheDevineKitchen
No need to wrap whole sweet potatoes in aluminum foil. The thin skin gets slightly crisp when roasted in olive oil and salt, making a nice contrast to the creamy, sweet flesh. Drizzling them in warmed honey and herbs makes them irresistible.

From your Fenelon Falls Horticultural Society!
We want to remind you that it is still too soon to be cleaning up your gardens!
The pollinators overwintering in the stems and debris of last fall’s greenery are not ready to emerge yet - - it is not warm enough for them to survive. It is frustrating to see your gardens needing care and not getting the work done during this nice weather, but until the days and nights are over 10C it is too early. It won’t be long now. Stay patient!

Annual Burn Ban for Kawartha Lakes Takes Place April 1st, 2021
Kawartha Lakes – Starting April 1, the municipality of Kawartha Lakes will enforce the annual burn ban for the entire month of April. Residents will be notified when the ban is lifted.
"Each year in April, a burn ban is imposed as part of our open air burning by-law. Even though there may be still be snow or warnings for localized flooding, dry grass and debris catch fire easily and the flames spread quickly," said Fire Chief Pankhurst. "The April burn ban helps reduce the risk to our residents and firefighters.”
