Black Friday,the U.S. equivalent to Boxing Day, is making it’s presents felt in Canada. When I post Novembers News from Aveda, I will post the date for our Black Friday 20% off sale
Reasons to come downtown
The farmers market that was held outside of the Hydro building wrapped up at the end of September.It was held every Thursday starting around 11:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. It was great to go out at break time and pick up fresh vegetables. I could not resist the home baked pies and pastries. There talking of making it an all year around event because it was so successful. I wonder where they would house it during the winter?
Did you know that there are 14 restaurants and coffee shops in a 5 block radius of our spa/salon. Starbucks,Second Cup,Tim Horton’s and Subway just to name a few. Most are catering to the noon hour crowd with great soups and the largest selection of sandwiches and wraps imaginable. If your coming downtown to shop or for an appointment, keep this in mind.
The Santa Claus parade is coming! It’s by far the biggest event in the downtown area.We don’t get to see the parade thru our spa/salon windows because we’re a block away on Graham ave, but the excitement of the crowds passing by on their way to the parade is contagious. Even as an adult, I can feel the happiness of the children and the thrill of maybe catching sight of Santa! The parade is always on a Saturday near the end of November. Watch for it.
