Spring Thaw


MARCH 2007 ISSUE

Doors Open

We are pleased to announce that the Hills of Headwaters tourism region will be participating in the Province of Ontario’s Doors Open program for the first time in 2007.

On Saturday, May 5th and Sunday, May 6th, visitors and residents are invited to explore this sophisticated rural destination, just steps outside Toronto’s back door and discover 20 unique heritage sites that depict the history of this picturesque region of the province.

The mandate of Doors Open Ontario is to bring together communities throughout the province and allow them to showcase the heritage of their communities. Each year, from April to October, communities open their doors to some of their most intriguing and charming heritage sites, including commercial buildings, places of worship, gardens, natural heritage and other heritage sites.

The Hills of Headwaters has chosen 20 sites that will provide visitors with a unique look at the history of the region. From the heritage homes of our founding fathers, to the places of worship that were central in the small towns, to natural heritage sites, parks and trails, the Hills of Headwaters Doors Open program will offer something for everyone.

Like all Doors Open events across the province, admittance to all sites is FREE. Come and experience “these hidden heritage treasures first-hand” at Doors Open in the Hills of Headwaters on Saturday, May 5th and Sunday, May 6th from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm each day.

Kaiser Bake Forms

Get baking with FROM THE KITCHEN TO THE TABLE, the region’s premier kitchen and tableware store!

Bakers often consider themselves the chemists of the kitchen! Unlike cooking where you can experiment and substitute, baking is more of an exact science with bakers using measuring cups and spoons instead of beakers and test tubes. And the right tools make all the difference in the world.

Our newsletter, Secrets from Our Kitchen, features some handy Kitchen Toys to help with your baking, as well as great baking tips, equivalency charts, and our feature on Kaiser Bake Forms, the largest manufacturer of premium bakeware in the industry.

And as always, there are some wonderful recipes for you to test at home:
Brown Sugar Spice Cake
Chocolate Cherry Cake
