I need your help
If you—or a group or organization to which you belong—are planning an event or activity that you want the public to know of, please let me know. Too often I learn about something that was happening after the fact.
I want to be able to let people know what is happening in our community, and if I am able to attend to take photos and/or do a write-up I will do my best to be there. Clinton is a very happening place. Let’s let others know what is going on.
You can contact me by phone at (250) 459-2224, email me at sscountrysquire@gmail.com, or drop info off at Country Squire Gift Shop. As we prepare for events to commemorate Canada’s 150th and the 150th anniversary of the Clinton Annual Ball, let’s share our news!
