A Collective Christmas – Spread the Love Christmas Market

We are super excited to be hosting our first Christmas Event in our new (2nd) location right beside our current gallery.
We took over the old Gulliver's store a few months ago and will be undertaking a massive renovation renewal into a youth arts hub in 2022.

In the meantime we are excited to host 'A COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS' in what was once an iconic downtown location.

Some of the proceeds will go towards helping a few local families again this holiday season and the remainder will go towards our new Non-Profit center soon to occupy Gulliver's.

Our windows will feature a Christmas Toy Shop to pay homage to the iconic history of the store and inside we will have a Christmas wonderland.

Each bookshelf in the store will be decorated by a different community group and the store will be transformed into a wonderland for the seasons.

Our events will run from November 18, 2021-December 1,2021.

Come and get your Christmas Shopping done, find those unique extras, support local business, the downtown and local artisans. Everything will be handmade and local to Northern Ontario.

Cosset and Flare is excited to present! ✨A Sparkling Christmas✨ Market!

(HUNTSVILLE/LAKE OF BAYS) Mark your calendars, Huntsville and Lake of Bays, for Project Porchlight Food Drive 2021.

The Huntsville/Lake of Bays Fire Department, in support of the Salvation Army Huntsville Food Bank, is ramping up for the 33rd annual food drive.

On Wednesday, Dec. 1, starting at 6 p.m. fire trucks, with the assistance of the OPP, paramedics, public works and volunteers will be coming house-to-house collecting healthy non-perishable food donations across our community.

The food drive will be operating a little differently this year as it did last year, so it is very important that residents take note of the changes to accommodate social distancing guidelines for COVID-19.

“We are asking residents to turn their porchlight on and place their non-perishable donations at the end of their driveway or on their porch this year at 6 p.m.,” notes Fire Chief Rob Collins

“In the past we have been able to knock on doors — but once again this year we are unable to do that. By placing your items at the end of your driveway or porch, it will assist us in keeping a safe social distance.”

The Project Porchlight Food Drive has been a community tradition for 33 years now and has been an integral support for the Salvation Army, which distributes the donations within the community throughout the year.

The Salvation Army is thankful for ALL donations, but do have some certain specific needs this year. If possible, the following items would go a long way to meeting those needs:

Peanut Butter – Jam – Canned Meats – Canned Fruit – Canned Vegetables – Instant Oatmeal – Hamburger Helper – Granola Bars – Juice – Boxed Mac n Cheese

Food donations can also be dropped off at the following locations:

• Huntsville Fire Hall Station #1; 1 Payne Drive
• The Salvation Army in Huntsville; 4 Mary Street E.
• Port Sydney Fire Hall; 387 South Mary Lake Road
• Lake of Bays Fire Halls, 1007 Limberlost Rd., 1230 Fox Point Rd. and 12 University St., Baysville.
