Presented by Liam Wells at Peter Smith GM

🐝 Gooood morning everybody! Happy Halloween to everyone! We're back with the newsletter that's more exciting to open than your child’s pillowcase full of candy after they go to bed with a toothache.

In today’s buzz;

A new place to get your home decor
Save your appetite for this weekend
Live music insider

and more…

We asked you for submissions for the spookiest house in the Bay of Quinte. I’m pleased to announce the winner is Andrew Pearce of Hampton Ridge Dr, Belleville. That’s not a place I want to be after dark! Great set-up.

The Digest

❤️ Logan Tozer-Lemmon, Found Alive

Everyone can breathe a sigh of relief. 18-year-old Logan Tozer-Lemmon was found after 17 days. Ontario Provincial Police officer found him safe in an abandoned structure. He was in good health but taken to the hospital as a precaution. The OPP thanks the community for their support and emphasized their commitment to public safety. Full story here.

Halloween Safety Tips

Friendly reminders: Kids should carry flashlights, walk on sidewalks, visit well-lit houses, and avoid crossing lawns. They should not go into strangers' homes or approach unknown animals. Homeowners should keep paths clear, use glow sticks in pumpkins, and keep pets inside. Parents should know where their kids are going, encourage them to trick-or-treat in groups with an adult, and check all candy. About 100 volunteers in orange vests will be on the streets to help keep everyone safe.
