We had such a great time, that the entire group wants to do the next Progressive Dinner. We had a choice of delicious soup or a chicken taco with pear slaw for our appetizer at Mex & Co. They were both a huge hit! Then we were off to the Stone Cellar for a choice of pork or chicken, served with a delicious chutney and placed over creamy mashed potatoes. Everyone loved the presentation and both amazing entrees. After the first two courses we weren't' sure that we had room for dessert, that is until we got to Maximilians, and saw what they were serving. We had the choice of a decadent apple dessert with a scoop of homemade caramel ice cream or a pumpkin cheesecake with pecan topping. Needless to say the evening was a hit with the entire group and we were pleasantly full from an evening of delicious food.
Watch for the next Progressive Dinner and don't miss your opportunity to enjoy the delicious creativity of Mex & Co. , the Stone Cellar and Maximilians.  Press Release from the Perth and District Union Public Library
The Perth & District Union Public Library will be celebrating Ontario Public Library Week with two engaging events during the week of October 20- 26th. The first event is a free screening of the film "The Public" written and directed by Emilio Estevez. In "The Public" an unusually bitter Arctic blast has made its way to downtown Cincinnati and the front doors of the public library. At odds with library officials over how to handle the extreme weather event, some homeless patrons turn the building into a shelter for the night by staging an "Occupy" sit in. This David versus Goliath story tackles challenging issues, homelessness and mental illness, and sets the drama inside one of the last bastions of democracy-in-action: your public library. The screening will take place Sunday October 20th at 12:30 pm. A facilitated discussion will follow with community member Dennis Riggs. The second event is a TED Talk discussion group October 26th at 1 pm. Participants will view a TedTalk and use it as a launching point for discussion! Topics will include freedom of speech, fake news, and trustworthiness of information. "October is Canadian Library Month, and we also celebrate Ontario Public Library Week from October 20-26,” said Erika Heesen, CEO/Chief Librarian. “We’re excited to be hosting two fun events this year that showcase the valuable role that libraries play in Canadians’ lives”. To learn more about the services and programs offered by the library, visit the library at 30 Herriott St, Perth, or www.perthunionlibrary.ca.

Downtown Perth Launches Digital Main Street Service Squad Perth BIA receives $10,000 Digital Main Street Grant to help main street businesses improve online presence. September 25th, 2019: Perth, Ontario. The Downtown Heritage Perth BIA today announced that it has received a grant from the Ontario government to fund a Digital Service Squad to help main street small businesses improve their online capabilities. As part of Digital Main Street, the Downtown Heritage Perth BIA received a $10,000 grant from the Ontario government to establish a Digital Service Squad to help small businesses in the downtown area enhance their use of digital tools and techniques to better evolve and grow. The Squad will consist of a trained specialist who will visit and assist BIA-area downtown businesses at no cost to help them set up Google My Business, conduct a digital-readiness assessment and apply for a $2,500 Digital Transformation Grant. The Squad will start visiting businesses the first week of October, 2019. “We are excited to offer this opportunity to our downtown businesses. We want to determine the needs of each individual business and create a plan that will encourage our businesses to move forward with new technologies and compete in this digitized workplace. The Digital Main Street program will work with our business owners to determine what capabilities are needed to enhance their businesses,” said Kari Clarke, BIA Coordinator. A joint program funded by Government of Ontario and delivered by the Ontario BIA Association, Digital Main Street helps improve how small main street businesses use digital tools and techniques to become more successful. Today’s digital economy is vital to small businesses, and DMS will help them adopt new digital technologies from e-commerce and social media to back-office systems such as payroll and inventory. “Our government is committed to helping small businesses improve their competitiveness, create jobs and attract investment,” said Ernie Hardeman, Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. “That’s why I’m so pleased that businesses in the Town of Perth will benefit from the expertise of a Digital Service Squad to help small businesses embrace digital technology. Our investment in the Digital Main Street program will help to ensure that Ontario is open for business and open for jobs.” Digital Main Street offers two types of grants:
