Another school year is coming to a close. Children will soon be out of school, vacations will start. Remember to use caution on the road. If you are looking for an activity for the day, or for a reason to plan a ‘staycation’ grab a copy of the Locally Lambton map, it has excellent ideas for family activities.
Lambton’s First Breakfast on the Farm was a smashing success! Held at Forbsvue Dairy Farm, the community enjoyed a hearty breakfast donated by local producers and community members saw equipment farmers use regularly, played a few children’s safety games, and toured the dairy barn. Our urban neighbours had a chance to briefly experience the farm and the work that goes into running it. Thanks to all the partners and volunteers for making the day so enjoyable for all!
