This morning we picked up Kristina and Stephanie in Woodstock and headed to St. Jacobs, a quaint little tourist type town just north of Waterloo.
We enjoyed a nice lunch and then toured a museum on the immigration of the Mennonites many years ago… it was interesting and well done.
The main street is full of shops and restaurants… quite a place…
They made corn brooms here in this shop…
They sold everything here…
The town was started around this mill…
St. Jacob’s is the home and Head Office of Home Hardware. The Company started out being called “Hollinger Hardware”… here I am checking out our namesake store.
The girls found this fall display…
Tonight we were treated to an OHL Hockey Game in London. The Knights were playing against the Oshawa Generals,(they lost in OT) and Chris’ Father had tickets for the Corporate Box in the arena. He is a Lawyer with the “Siskins Law Firm” in London. We had a great time enjoying a good game and lots of food and refreshments…
A very busy day overall, and I am ready for bed!
Till tomorrow…
It's been a few years since I have been to St. Jacobs but always enjoyed going there when I lived in Kitchener years ago. It's really interesting how they made all those little shops inside those silos & even incorporated a train car into the mix. Great craft place with lots of local artisans. Some great eating places as I recall.
