Will Canadians Be Able To Get A COVID Vaccine In Buffalo?
The COVID pandemic had a huge impact on travel in and out of Canada. Some of you in the States have not been able to get to your property across the border in over a year! The border closure is still in place and in order for the border to re-open, there needs to be at least 75% of Canadian residents vaccinated.

As of now, there is no legislation that allows for the travel in and out of the states to get a vaccine. However, according to a Channel 2 News report, there is a surplus of vaccine and that should be used for Canadians.
Boutique Crawl, Great Deals In Hamburg This Friday
Over 20 different stores are participating and prizes are also being handed out!
The 6th Hamburg Boutique Crawl is happening this Friday from noon to 8pm! The list of participating store, vendors and breweries has grown!
We have been starting to plan a new date afternoon on Fridays and even though I am not the biggest fan of shopping, I am excited for a walk around the village and a few cold beers! There may have never been a better time than now to shop local and support local business. The COVID 19 pandemic took a toll on every industry but the mom and pop stores and businesses are the true backbone of any local community. In Hamburg, we are blessed to have so many options and a wonderful variety of boutiques and breweries!
