Everyone helped make Street Gallery a success

October 1, 2014 · 0 Comments

We recently celebrated the sixth annual Schomberg Street Gallery along Main Street. We were fortunate that Mother Nature co-operated – the sun came out and so did the crowds. The street was filled with artists and art lovers for the entire day.
There was just as much co-operation from the community, and I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who helped make this year’s art show the biggest and best yet.
Thanks go to the Schomberg Village Association and the Arts Society King for their sponsorship and support.
To the Lions club, for their twice sold out BBQ.
To King Township for cleaning Main Street just before the gallery and allowing us to close the street to vehicular traffic for the day of the gallery.
To the businesses, residents and visitors to Main Street for not parking on the street on Saturday night – allowing us and the artists to get set up on Sunday morning (and also for dealing with the road closure on Sunday so graciously). A special thanks to RONA, whose parking lot (as it turned out) was used by visitors.
To the many volunteers, who dedicated time and energy, both on the day of the gallery, and for months.
We thank the members of the Schomberg Presbyterian Church who had to use the Agricultural Fairgrounds for their parking as they attended Church on Sunday morning, and last but not least, to the artists and attendees. Without them, we wouldn’t have a show!
Thanks again to all, see you next year!

A crowd of interested residents, along with almost 100 viewing online, heard officers explain the latest in data collection, technological tools and resources available to both the public and police officers, to help residents. There are many “pieces to the puzzle” and it’s a matter of “people are the police, and the police are the people.”

The King Township Food Bank (KTFB) is facing an alarming rise in demand for its services, and the organization is calling on the community for urgent support to continue meeting the growing needs of local families. Since its founding in 2004, the food bank has been a vital resource for residents struggling to put food on the table. Despite King Township’s reputation as a wealthy area, food insecurity has long been a reality for many, particularly lower-income families, rural workers, and seniors on fixed incomes. This year, the need has skyrocketed, with the food bank reporting a 66% increase in individuals served since the beginning of 2023.
