Editor’s Desk

Dominique "Mini" Tassell.

Another week, another event. It’s so nice to have them back.

While I myself didn’t attend the Allora Heavy Horse Festival, Emily covered it in this week’s edition and had a thoroughly enjoyable time.

My weekend consisted of binge-watching a new TV show, reading a book, and babysitting not one, but two cute puppies alongside my own dog, Hazel.

So basically, it was a really good time.

Emily and I are both really looking forward to the Warwick Show this weekend.

I am personally very excited for the pet parade, but also for dragging Emily onto a couple of rides.

I’m so glad that most of our shows are able to go ahead after so much uncertainty earlier this year. I know how vital they are to our community, and it’s sad that some had to cancel or may not be able to find replacement weekends later this year.

With 46 new Covid-19 cases in the region in the past week, it’s also a relief to see our numbers remaining steady after a big event. Steady is better than rising.

After eating the majority of the Foxy’s menu while covering Apple & Grape, our new mission is to eat the majority of the menu at Shannon’s Hot Potato Chips.

We did get some community guidance on the best pies to try and are absolutely open to getting the same re Shannon’s Chips.

I’d also like to thank everyone who reached out to give us positive feedback regarding last week’s edition. It’s often the case that people only write letters to the editor when they’re annoyed (or editor’s desks, hence my reputation I guess), but I do always appreciate the texts and non-letter emails or just general comments on the street.
