Hello Lambeth! Well, unfortunately, Summer is almost gone, but on the bright side Harvestfest is still coming, so something to look forward to. I’ve been looking up how many of the small village and town festivals are still being held, and it seems not many, so Lambeth, you should be proud that there are still people in your community who still give a darn and are willing to dedicate some of their off hours or family time in order to make
this old festival still a viable event to look forward to in your area. They used to be such fun, and kids in each community knew that while, yes, school was coming, so was their local festival weekend. It really was a comfort to know that each year, they had this to count on, look forward to, and expect year after year. It was almost like a right of passage. I understand a major kudo should be sent out to two Lambeth individuals who were honoured by the Rotary Club of London, Lambeth, during the city-wide John Eberhard Rotary Awards night: James Shields and Rob Annable. Both of these guys have always stood for putting Lambeth first. It’s their home and they are always willing to help wherever needed. The standing joke in Lambeth is that James is the mayor of Lambeth, and Rob is the deputy mayor and treasurer. Not far from the truth! Congratulations, Gentlemen, you both deserve this award and so much more! Now, I’ve always said that Lambeth will always support Lambeth, and it’s wonderful that I’ve been proven right again. Vince from Moto Kave told me that after his article was seen in the July/ August issue of the Lambeth Villager, he has been getting so much support and interest for his amazing variety of mobility availabilities. I hope that there are still more of you to come, as I’d hate to see you miss out on the Fall Colours just because you’re having trouble getting around. I’ll see you on the block!

Now, for any new business that I have not heard from or called yet, if you need help with marketing and advertising, please contact me and I’ll be happy to help in any way I can. Without regular or new clients, we wouldn’t have a magazine, and that would be a shame as so many people let us know how much they enjoy our publication. So, when we can work together, it’s a win-win.
Young Entrepreneur Henry York is a Grade 4 student at Lambeth Public School. He is the face of the curbside flower stand on James Street, with a little help from Mom and Dad. Henry likes to see all the different flowers and can identify Sunflowers, Strawflowers, Zinnias and Dalhias. He is saving his earnings and isn’t sure yet what he will spend it on. He plans to continue to set out flowers every other Saturday through the fall (when there are some available to cut). Check the Lambeth Ontario Facebook page for updates – and come by James Street for some lovely flowers and to support this young entrepreneur.
