BORDEN ‑ With new COVID-19 regulations coming in and the increase of new cases, the Borden Threshing Day and beef supper were cancelled Sept. 25. Oct. 2, they will dig the potatoes planted at the threshing site. They sold corn and are selling pumpkins grown there at the farmers market.
Hopefully 2022 will see a return to more normal times and all of these cancelled events will go ahead after two years of being cancelled.
The Borden Friendship Club potluck supper Sept. 29 is cancelled. The business meeting will still go ahead on Sept. 13 when the club will decide whether to start their monthly bingo nights on Oct. 20 and hold their Oct. 27 supper.
The Borden Farmers Market has two more weeks to go before closing for the season. Plans for a Christmas sale in the Borden Community Centre Nov. 27 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. are going ahead, but maybe with no lunch available.
At the Oct. 1 and 8 market, hot dogs, drinks and pie will still be available, but you have to be fully vaccinated to sit inside (as per new health orders). There is take away only for those not vaccinated. Oct. 8 is appreciation day, so there will be free drinks and goodies (individually wrapped) to enjoy. The 50/50 draw is still ongoing and winning the cash on Sept. 24 was Bev Assman of Borden. The market would like to thank all those who supported us for the season.
