timmeh Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 The market and all the shops are up and running, as long as the weather cooperates any weekend would be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopheraaron Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 My whole family pretty much lives there, there's always something to do, be sure to grab some of the cinnamon rolls from the market. Also, the conestogo has great pike fishing in some areas if you can sneak away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankTheRabbit Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Thanks for the tip. Really enjoy going there. So many good produce, food, etc. Their spicy cheeses and salami are top notch. There's also a vendor who sells these really thick wool sweaters. It's the warmest sweater I've ever worn and a whole lot cheaper too. I look forward to this summer's trek to St Jacobs.

Christopheraaron Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Be careful which one you go to though, it should be right beside a maple syrup vendor who has a map of the world plotting all of their customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toad Hunter Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 it's been in "full swing" for a while now, I'm pretty sure the indoor parts are year round but could be wrong. (not sure if all the produce is local yet or not due to grow seasons etc. but all still very good). The ol lady and I go all the time for steaks, summer sausage, and to look around but ALWAYS stop for apple fritters (worth the line for sure) - Frank, is the Sweater vendor that u are talking about the one that sells the Alpaca wool sweaters ? I would have to agree with you if you are. Washed mine numerous times and still the softest thing I have felt - errr as far as clothing goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopheraaron Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Didn't apple fritters leave? Would love to grab some on my way up to elora on sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toad Hunter Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 (edited) when did it leave ? I was there in April (maybe late march) and they were still there, gawd I sure hope not ) not sure why it would leave, had to be the best money maker in the whole lot ! lol - but I'm pretty sure you're out of luck Sunday anyways. (only open thurs and sats) if I remember correctly. Edited June 1, 2012 by Toad Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankTheRabbit Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Misfish->I don't recall seeing any wool gloves/mittens since I bought it a few years ago. He may have something what you're looking for, but even if he doesn't, I'm sure another vendor will have something. Toad->Yup, that's the same fella! I love how well the sweater works as a mid-layer during the winter months. It took me a few years to pick out the pieces of straw still embedded in the wool. The only thing that has worn out is the zipper, which a local seamstress should be able to help me patch up. When I was at SAIL over Xmas, they were selling the hoodie sweater for $149. I think I paid $79 a few years ago. Mr. Alpaca sells those jackets that zip up to your side...I've always been curious with them and might pick one up on my next visit. Only wish they were a bit closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopheraaron Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 I thought they closed last year? Maybe it was just for the season, but I remembered getting them in the middle of winter as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musky or Specks Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Way back in high school my buddy and I would go there for 5 am and get paid cash to unload guys on Thursday before we went to school. Beer money for the weekend. It will always have a warm place in my heart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted June 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Is there a motel just out of town? Man, the local ones would bite my wallet. Cripes,I stayed at the falls cheaper then what they want there.Also need to be pet friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
