OCTOBER 2026
"October is a fallen leaf, but it is also the wider horizon more clearly seen."
Hal Borland
Hello OSF Members,
September was a tying up loose ends month around here in preparation for the annual Shrimp Festival - so many details to line up! And we also got some other projects done.
1.) The "Welcome to Sneads Ferry" sign at Bluewater Inn was refurbished.
Read "A Sign of the Times" https://www.oursneadsferry.com/post/molly
2.) And one of our local treasures got one step closer to its dreams and visions.
Read "Yopp's Meeting House" https://www.oursneadsferry.com/post/yopp-s-meeting-house
Now the path to autumn's activities, projects and endeavors can be seen more clearly ... and there's so much on the horizon to discover, celebrate, and honor in Sneads Ferry this fall. Hope that you'll take time to enjoy it all!
Happy October in the Province:)
