Woolrich
Warehouse Sale
The
ever popular Woolrich Warehouse Sale is taking place at the Oddfellows Hall at
476 Knowlton Road, accross from the Depanneur Rouge. The 4 day sale gives residents
and visitors a chance to buy the quality Woolrich clothing at a fraction of the
regular retail price.
Get their early beacuse the line-ups are like what
you would expect to see at a Rolling Stones concert!
Decades before the Civil
War - before telephones, automobiles and airplanes were invented - Woolrich was
an established company supplying apparel and woolen cloth to those whose lives
often depended on rugged, reliable, outdoor clothing. In 2005, Woolrich celebrates
an amazing history of 175 years of continuous operation.
Established in
1830, Woolrich is today the oldest clothing company and woolen mill in the nation.
From the creation of the now famous red and black Buffalo Check, to supplying
apparel to three of Admiral Byrd's Antarctic expeditions, Woolrich has continued
the legacy of reliable outdoor clothing for the better part of two centuries.
The super-sale takes place Wednesday, Thursday, Friday from 10AM till
7PM and Saturday from 10AM till 4PM. Remember to get to the Oddfellows Hall early
because the Lac Brome folks like to start lining up about three hours in advance!

(Fiction)

by Lalita Tademy
Lalita Tademy weaves together history and the story of her own family to bring
us an epic work of fiction, the dramatic, intertwining story of two families struggling
to make a place for themselves in an America deeply divided after the Civil War.
For the newly freed black residents of Colfax, Louisiana, the beginning
of Reconstruction promised them the right to vote, own property, and at last,
control their own lives. But in the space of a day, angry whites would take back
Colfax in one of the deadliest incidents of racial violence in Southern history,
In the bitter aftermath, the Tademys and the Smiths will have to deal with the
wreckage, push on, and build a better life for their sons and daughters over the
next seventy years.

dangerous route, uncovering ancient stories, meeting striking and courageous people
and tracing its venerable olive culture.
Tracking the Cretans, Phoenicians,
Greeks and the Romans, amongst others, she eventually finds her way back to her
olive farm in the sun-baked hills of southern France. The Olive Route recounts
a thrilling, heroic, sensual and entertaining journey by the bestselling author
of the much loved Olive series.
