The warming cneter remains open after Thanksgiving an as needed basis until mid-October when the Council office is open, for water and wi-fi.

Are you prepared for the hurricane? Unfortunately, it sounds like Fiona will be nasty.

Prepare for the worst and hope for the best – gas in car, water in tubs for toilet flushing and in pots for drinking, food to eat that doesn’t require refrigeration, cash, fill your freezer (with water to freeze, or blankets, to help it stay colder longer), take photos of your property before the storm, in case you need to make an insurance claim, plug in your sump pump, have medication refilled, take in or tie down anything that may blow, charge your phones and laptops…. and stay inside during the storm.)

If the phones are working, you could also call the hall 902-566-3154 or municipal office 902-368-3090 to see if the hall is open. In an emergency, you can contact me at 902-213-0597.

The Milton Community Hall is delighted to announce the dates for our annual Christmas Craft Fair -  Friday, November 11 (2-8 p.m.) AND Saturday, Nov. 12 from 9 a.m. -3 p.m. The price for a 6 ft table will be $30. (There is also a slight chance we may tweak the opening/closing times based on vendor feedback).

We hope to be able to provide another super experience for sellers and shoppers. 

If you are interested and able to attend this year, please complete the online registration form. Confirmation of your acceptance will be returned as soon as possible, hopefully by September 25. We are still working out details, so ask for your patience.  Space is limited, so we hope to hear from you soon.

Information you will find on the registration form:

The fine print: Submission of this form DOES NOT GUARANTEE a table in the Craft Fair. You will be notified asap (hopefully by Sept 25, 2022). Space is limited. Preference will be given to handmade craft/food items and to Miltonvale Park residents.

Food vendors must follow provincial regulations. Any provincial COVID-19 requirements in effect at the time of the fair will be followed.

Your registration reserves a table and two chairs (We will check in closer to the fair to confirm the number of chairs you want). There is not generally display space between or around tables. If you do require additional space, please indicate that on the form. For those not using tables, your rental space will be equivalent to that of a table.

FIRE REGULATIONS require that all fire exits and doorways not be blocked and there must always be a clear passageway between tables. You may wish to bring an extension cord or power bar if you requested power. Please use table covers to enhance your table.

Vendor setup time: Thursday, Nov. 10 from 1 -8 p.m. and Friday Nov. 11 (9-10:30 and 12 noon- 2 p.m.) We may also be able to adjust this if necessary.

Although we will do everything possible to protect your items, we cannot be held responsible for them overnight.

FEATURES: Complimentary tea, coffee and ice water for vendors. A canteen service will be available.

Enjoy the weekend and the lovely September weather!
