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.

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.

One99 Restaurant

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.
