With all this talk of “Augtober” and a supposedly cooler-than-normal summer, Richmond Hill has still proven a great place to be this season leaving us with very warm memories, and there’s more to come in the fall.
We’ve seen a variety of live music performed throughout the summer (and it is all free). One of my favourites is the Mill Pond Concert series. I had the pleasure of kicking off the 40th anniversary season in July. We had the pleasure of seeing some great music every Thursday at Mill Pond Park. We also had the Richmond Green Concert series taking place at Richmond Green Park. Though the series concluded on Aug. 28, this concert series has been alive since 1975, and we plan on continuing the tradition — so don’t fret if you missed out this year.
As the days get a little shorter, one way to keep memories of summer alive is through fresh and local food. The Richmond Hill Farmers' Market in the parking lot of the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts kicked off in July, and it has a big hit every since. Market Saturdays will continue throughout September. There is still a lot to do in Richmond Hill this fall, so get out and take advantage of all that our great community has to offer.
As always I have been busy talking to residents about a variety of issues, and I would welcome a call or email from you if you have an issue to discuss. We are all partners in making Richmond Hill an even greater community. David.west @richmondhill.ca or 416-346-3090.
