The town's Santa Claus parade is set for Saturday, Dec. 3, with the theme "Winter Wonderland", despite ongoing roadwork on Main Street and Cam Fella Boulevard. The parade is organized by the Stouffville Kinsmen Club; the charitable club's been the lead organizer for more than 20 years in the community. Member Steve Sutter says the parade brings the community together. "It's a great time to see all the different floats from the community and you can meet all your neighbours," he said. "Get out there and see what Stouffville's all about." Start time is set for 2 p.m., while the route has been adjusted this year due to ongoing construction on Main Street between Tenth Line and Stouffer Street. This year, the parade will start at Tenth Line and Aintree Drive/North Street. Floats will lineup on Cam Fella Boulevard off of Mohawk Gate. From the starting point, the parade will head down Stouffer Street to Millard Street and then down to Main Street from there. The parade will continue along Main Street through the downtown core, ending at Ninth Line. Stouffville Kinsmen asks that floats be ready for 1:30 p.m. Registration for floats is still open and certificates of insurance must be provided by each entry at registration time. Entry fees for businesses are a minimum donation of $75 while nonprofit, community service groups and schools are admitted for free. To register, email Stouffville Kinsmen at StouffvilleKinClub@gmail.com We tried to work with a couple more manly cheeses this week for the Grey Cup spread, and what we picked were an Applewood Smoked Cheddar which has pretty robust outdoorsy flavour, and our Hockey Puck Beer Cheese, which is black-waxed and somewhat puck-shaped, and it's seasoned with beer. The game can't start without one of these. The cheddar will be featured at while the pucks are a great deal at OFF $9.95 each. THIS WEEK PLEASE WHAT'S COOKIN' AT THE One of our considerations this week is to make life around the TV easy enough to fully enjoy the football game, so.... here goes: DELI! 1/2 PRICE 25 % H % We make quite an assortment of these for Christmas as you can see in the store.

If no one is watching, this is a pie for 2, just sayin'! 9" size, Reg. $14.95 ea. Our next item will be our best-selling muffin, Chocolate Chunk. It's made with buttermilk, with lots of Belgian chocolate chunks baked in. These are how my youngest son became taller than me, seemingly overnight. Reg. $2.29 ea. We will follow this with our Double-Chocolate Hazelnut Cookies. What makes these double is that firstly, the dough is rich with chocolate, and secondly, baked-in are milk chocolate and dark chocolate chunks, along with hazelnuts, a touch of cinnamon and coffee. Rather cappuccino ­ like! These are sold in the hexagonal containers at $7.95 ea. 25% THIS WEEK OFF I got to try our Dutch Meatball and Vegetable Soup last week and was pleasantly surprised.

WHAT'S FOR This week we've made some Smoked Brisket Sandwiches for you. These are prepared with a maple and chipotle rub, then slowly smoked. They are then shaved razor-thin and served on Steeles Bakery rye, and are best enjoyed with yellow mustard and THIS a dill. WEEK And lastly, we'll be featuring our Chocolate Ganache Cakes. These are from the top-3 list of cakes at the counter, and they are not often featured because there are so many steps to making these. The first is making the cake, which you will find to be `double-chocolate' as well, because there are chunks baked-in. They are then assembled into a triple-decker with dark chocolate ganache separating the layers. The third step is that they are `masked', which means warm chocolate ganache is poured over to fully enrobe them, and then set to chill for a bit. They are then glazed with yet another layer of that warm fluid ganache, chilled yet again, and decorated with curls made out of, you guessed it, chocolate! Totally decadent! We'll be making two sizes, Reg. $15.95 and $25.95 ­ (which seems pretty reasonable given the work involved). And, all these feaures will be featured at $ 99 Our Sous Vide feature for this week will be one of our Rib Eye Steaks in Green Peppercorn Sauce. Simply follow the package directions, and in 12 min you will have a warm steak as tasty as if you grilled it on the spot, but took much longer, just sayin'. OFF THIS WEEK Reg. $7.99/100g, and featured at And lastly, our feature salad dressing this week will be Blue Cheese, which is timely given the wing feature.

We've received some concerns about our shopping bag situation, and let me tell you, the old ones will be back. Our supplier of many years has stepped away from that business, and we've had to find a new source for our bags, which are a bit special. One has been found, but the bags won't be ready for a few weeks ­ but they are coming. I must say here that I am a bit surprised at the alarm, but it is validation for our thinking over the years of having been willing to pay a bit more for better stuff, whether it's the food or the bags that carry it. P.S. ­ Doreen's Fruitcake is now out and available ­ mincemeat too! 25% THIS WEEK OFF $ Served from Noon till Two. 1195 SPECIALS IN EFFECT FROM THURSDAY TO CLOSING SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 27 Hours: Mon. ~ Fri. 8:00-8:00 | Sat. 8:00-6:00 ~ Sun. 9:00-6:00 4476 16th Ave. (Just W. of Kennedy) 905-940-0655 twitter.com/villagegrocer facebook.com/thevillagegrocer.unionville instagram.com/thevillagegrocer yorkregion.com www.thevillagegrocer.com
