Spring & Summer 2009
Spring is here and it's time to come out and Fall in Love with Elora,
all over again !
To lift your spirits, walk along the Grand River to the Elora Gorge and
enjoy the rushing waters and spectacular scenery. Then enjoy wandering
along historic Mill Street and Metcalfe Street, exploring all our
charming shops and eateries, and our enchanting historic limestone
buildings and streetscapes.
At the ELORA MEWS SHOPS, in the courtyard at 45 Mill Street West, come
to see what our creative independent shopkeepers have brought in new to
their stores for you, from their exclusive sources.
-
Renate Karger, owner of the
KARGER GALLERY,
well-known since 1993 for her original fine art and crafts,
furniture and decor, has added to her designer jewellery collection
a selection of exclusive fashion clothing. Let her help you to find
just the right special piece of jewellery, fashion item, or unique
gift or decor item for you.

SHOP (in Elora since 2006), are moving their shop into the Elora
Mews courtyard in March 2008. Come to see their large variety of

shop, also serving home-made donairs and food from the grill, and a
