Ninth Annual Harvest Fair on Mt. Pleasant is this Saturday

Saturday will see the 9th Annual Harvest Fair on Mt. Pleasant Rd. It’s always fun. At top right, Michael Garron Hospital’s Kick the Stigma Day is also Saturday. It’s a soccer tournament and festival at Monarch Park Stadium on Coxwell Ave. south of the Danforth. There will be games in three divisions geared towards players of all levels. There will also be a community festival, featuring live music, games, a beer garden, and mix of street food. Below that, Jenny Serwylo snapped this picture of her stare-down with a raccoon Tuesday. He was after the English muffins. The story is told in the Star. Centre right, Ken Oppel, the children’s book writer had a good crowd of kid’s and parents in attendance Wednesday evening for some story telling at Mabel’s Fables, 662 Mt. Pleasant Rd. Mabel’s is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. At bottom, neighbors and others are watching with interest as 112 Bessborough Dr. gets a makeover. It is seen recently on the left showing its original copper roof over the bay window. That’s 112 on the right before work began. Keep watching.
