Picton Gazette Express: Vol. 2 No. 39

October 02, 2025

 

Local wineries need help with the harvest. See our Weekend Ticket events listings.

The Picton Starbucks one of 200 closures across North America.

Workers at the Picton branch were given just two days’ notice of the closure.

Jewish Culture is complex, creative, joyful — and meant to be shared.

An award-winning author visits the County with a new book, one that blends fiction and reality.

Amazon transformed that playing field a decade ago, in part by making it as easy to get something delivered in real life as it was to click and buy it.  

Chris reminds us that the Gazette is no longer being delivered by Canada Post. Rural delivery direct to your mailbox continues, however, and those with a Canada Post mailbox can find their Gazette in our newspaper boxes in locations across the County.

12 Open Houses, all on Saturday. The action starts in Bloomfield, where there are two beautiful historic farmhouses on the market.
