Weekend itineraries: December has arrived

Christmas in the Country is this Saturday! You have your pick of 7 different Christmas markets in 7 different locations to check out and support local operators. There are still tickets available to join in the bus tour leaving from Bethel Transit Terminal – don’t forget to pick yours up. Make sure to be at the South Cooking Lake Hall at 5 p.m. to enjoy the fireworks celebration.

Recently opened at the end of September, The Break Room Café is a great local coffee shop with a few unique offerings. They recently held a Star Wars Trivia Night and have plans for more in the future – make sure to watch their social media to find out when the next one is, and what the theme is. Located across the street from the library in Sherwood Park, this is a great place to check out this weekend.

The holidays are quickly approaching, are you all stocked up on decorations? Head over to Salisbury Greenhouse to pick up holiday décor; from trees to wreaths, from ornaments to stockings, they have everything you need to pull off a jaw-dropping winter wonderland. Holiday shopping tends to give a warm fuzzy feeling, and that’s doubled knowing this greenhouse is family-owned and operated. Support local for your holiday decorating this season and head to Salisbury Greenhouse.

Please ensure that you are adhering to all public health mandates in place, including wearing a mask and physical distancing. Be ready to show your vaccination status, medical exemption or a negative, privately-paid COVID-19 test as part of the Restriction Exemption Program.

Be kind and enjoy the weekend in Sherwood Park and Strathcona County!
