There is a Holiday Sensation at the Train Station on Sunday, December 6, noon to 4 p.m. The former daycare centre has been transformed into the Chamber of Commerce Visitor Centre Gift Shop & Gallery. Arts Carleton Place co-ordinates the gallery space for the database artists to showcase their works. The Yoga Station, a new business, has established a presence with their studio and art gallery. Paul Nelson has combined his businesses to create Service Central for your entire camera and photography needs. Drop in for your Christmas shopping, enjoy cookies and sweets, hot apple cider and get in the holiday spirit! Bring your family, neighbours and friends!
On a final note, please support our local artistic community by attending live theatre, holiday concerts, listening to fabulous music and purchasing original art. Carleton Place and the surrounding area is so fortunate to have such a talented mix of artists, writers and performers.
