Shout out to the all the businesses surviving the construction on Talbot Street between First Ave and Fairview!

Stopped in today with the kids to Briwood Farm Market to pick up Shaw's Ice Cream for Jess (it’s her birthday today - Happy Birthday Jess!). While there we also nabbed a snack at Fries R Us. Hot dogs for the kids and a burger for me!

Had a lovely time out at Elgin County's Cultivating Success event with Peter Katz and hosted at Nature's Oasis Retreat in the Township of Southwold. Establish Media provided A/V support services for the event and brought on additional support from Logan and the team at Horizon Solutions.

Everything went so well I had a chance to capture some photos to share with everyone - it's always nice when that happens!

Popped over to the Warren Lodge Barn Party fundraiser at Pfeffer Farms near the end of the night. Wanted to get there sooner, but had to get some edits done on a project. Anyway, the party was still going strong with Connor Wilson and his band so I snapped some shots for fun. It was such a successful evening that it sounds like it will become an annual event.

Had a great time chatting with Kenny and Danielle for this piece. We also get our van tires serviced here and their team is great to work with :)
