Saturday's Hopping!

True to form, summer ends, students go back to school, a chill creeps into the evening air and then -- wham! -- a non-summer schedule hits full force.
Here are some local Saturday happenings:

1) This Saturday is the big day for the annual Palmerston Community Daycare FallFest. Located on the grounds of Palmerston P.S. on Palmerston Avenue at Barton, the fair offers the usual delights: sales, games and tons of fun! It runs from 11 am to 3 pm, rain or shine.

2) Howland Avenue (Dupont to Wells) hosts a street sale Saturday starting at 9 am. It features"Interesting furniture, antiques, art, toys, DVDs, baby stuff, signs + letters, sporting goods, books, jewellery, and eclectic finds."

3) There is a Barns Art Market at the Wychwood Barns on Christie St. Saturday from 9 am to 5 pm.

4) Central Tech swimming pool is open to the public Saturday (and subsequent Saturdays) after being refurbished. Quote:

"Dear Central Tech Pool Enthusiasts,
It is our pleasure to inform you that the first free Saturday afternoon swim at the Central TechPool is this weekend...
... We now have a fully renovated school pool and dressing rooms
that are housed and self -contained in the pavilion right next to the Bathurst Building. The entrance to the facility is at Lennox Street on the south side just east of Bathurst Street.
We are also very excited that, as per the interest expressed by many, a free community swim on Saturday afternoons will run from September 25th, 2010, through to June of 2011. The pool is a community asset that should be enjoyed and used.
The Central Tech Save the Pool Volunteers"
Enjoy!
