St. George Going Wild For Wild Blueberries

Singing the Blues and eating them too!


The 4th Annual Granite Town Wild Blueberry Festival taking place over the weekend in St. George.

The rain held off long enough for a full 3 days of activities including demos and taste-testing of blueberries, chocolate, and pork sirloin with Chef Dave from NBCC and salmon with Celebrity Chef Charlotte-The Isles MLA Rick Doucet.
A successful fundraiser Community Run and Walk were also held Saturday morning, raising over $650 dollars for 4-year-old Leukemia patient Zackary Shaw.

No Thru-Traffic On Seeley's Cove Road


Another detuor coming to the Pennfield area today.

Through traffic will be closed starting today at the new Route 1 Gateway site on Seeley's Cove Road.

The excavation will last approximately 7 days.

Drivers are asked to take the alternate Seeley's Cove Road entrance until construction is complete.

Dexter's Construction says when the road is re-opened there will be signage put in place to help guide traffic.
