Dear Editor:
It is with sadness that I read online about the cancelling of the Christmas Market that has been held at the sportsplex in Fergus for the past few years.
This event brings many locals and visitors to our area and is always well attended. This cancellation does not help the many entrepreneurs who rely on local venues to sell their handmade – and, may I add, Canadian – goods.
When we should be supporting “buying local,” to have this market cancelled for the sake of sports leaves me to wonder why. Can sports not take a break for two days to let another group use the facility that we are all paying for?
Not everyone plays sports and I for one want to support other great things this community has to offer. Whoever made this decision should be ashamed.
We have enough scrooges in our lives at this time of year. Bah, humbug to them.
Ev Robson,
Fergus
