Fall fest on Upper Avenue – Saturday, October 19th
Our Businesses on Upper Avenue between Joicey and Roe put on a very enjoyable Fall fest – a fall-themed “open house” event to celebrate our vibrant Upper Avenue community on Saturday, October 19th. Councillor Colle and his Staff made a great piping hot minestrone soup. Good turnout and everyone enjoyed the events/giveaways/specials. We will be starting the planning soon for an even bigger and better event in 2020!
