Celebrate Father’s Day in the Hills of Headwaters!
There’s so many ways to spend time with your Dad this month in our region. A Headwaters Golf Trail Passport is your ticket to five premier courses. Visit one of our conservation areas or parks for a great day of hiking or fishing. Classic car buffs should not miss the Shelburne Heritage Street Festival on June 13th and country music fans will love “A Night in the Country” at Century Church Theatre in Hillsburgh.
If your Dad’s taste lean towards art, many of our galleries and studios are presenting unique exhibitions. Speaking of taste, consider treating your Dad to an unforgettable meal at one of the region’s great restaurants. And as always, our local accommodations are comfortable for two or more, in case the rest of the family decides they ‘re after some quality time as well. Enjoy your stay!

The Alton Mill Creative Arts Centre
Imagine…the sound of water cascading over falls that were harnessed by the pioneering settlers of Alton over a hundred years ago.
Standing proudly over these falls on the banks of the Credit River, the Alton Mill is a magnificently restored heritage mill that is home to a creative arts centre featuring studios, galleries, a heritage museum, café and unique retail shops! The picturesque landscape and historic setting provide an inspiring backdrop for the over 25 artisans that make their home at the Alton Mill.
Mark your calendars for July 18th & 19th, when the Alton Mill hosts Cuisine-Art, an inspired celebration of food and art. Join us for BBQ cooking demonstrations, guest chefs, seminars, farmers’ market, a public painting project and so much more.
Come be inspired at the Alton Mill, listed in the National Registry of Historic Places.

100 mile diet: Go Green or Go Home?
How about both? The 100 mile diet is a revolutionary food movement, improving the quality of your food AND the environment simultaneously. We have been asked to create some private party menus for intimate weddings at the restaurant with both the satisfaction of our clients and the well-being of our neighbours in mind. Every item on these menus have been grown and harvested within a 100 mile radius of our beautiful town, and you can certainly taste the difference!
The 100 mile diet's greatest challenge is also its greatest attraction; buying locally means getting to know the seasons; what grows locally in July?? Such a diet not only allows for variance, it demands it! And we are more than happy to oblige. Come in to One99 to see what local produce we are featuring on our menu this evening.
