The unmistakable scent of craft glue, the shimmer of handcrafted ornaments, and the cheerful hum of holiday shoppers can only mean one thing: Christmas arts, crafts and baking season has arrived.

West Street in Goderich buzzed with excitement on the afternoon of October 5 as the Goderich Fire Department parked its ladder truck outside Firehouse Subs, creating a striking scene with the historic courthouse as its backdrop.

The streets of Goderich came alive this weekend with the humming of hundreds of Volkswagens Sunday as Volkfest rolled into town bringing nostalgia and drawing a crowd of car lovers, curious onlookers, and creative vendors.
