Join us for the 17th annual Windsor Holiday Country Shopping event! 

Wow!  Seventeen years! This event was started all those years ago and is still continued by local shop owners Bev Slack (of the Cradle) and Rita Saunders (of Country Haven B&B) as well as Nancy Burrows (the quillow lady from the Farmers' Market) and many others.

This is a wonderful event which includes products for men, women, children and even pets.  You could start -and finish- your Christmas shopping on this weekend AND have a chance to win one of nine gifts!

Pass the word (near and far) and join us for an enjoyable weekend in Windsor!
