It’s nearing the end of the best month of the year. The true burger diehards have either completed the entire list of monster burgers or they are close. Although he may not have managed to get through all 31 of this year’s candidates, our dedicated manager/owner has put his stomach on the line and has chosen his top 3 favorites for this year. These burgers are (so far!) the best of what he has tried. Since they are all edible perfection he couldn’t choose just one but has narrowed it down to three. Here they are!

“The Canadian Legend” from the Lucy Maud Dining Room

“6oz of in-house ground Island Beef sirloin stuffed with Gouda, Smoked Tomato Aioli, Confit, Cherry Tomato, Bacon Jam, Bib Lettuce, Candied Bacon, Honey Wheat & Chive Battered Onion Ring on a toasted Ciabatta Bun”

So what’s your favorite so far?

We are now proudly selling Wildfire Jewellery products. These sea glass pendants were hand-picked off Souris Beach and hand-crafted into beautiful jewellery. Pictures do not do these wonders any justice; they need to be seen in person to be truly appreciated.

We have a variety of colours and sizes as well as sets of matching pendant necklaces and earrings. All the chains are made of sterling silver and are the perfect length that is so hard to come by.

If you don’t see something in our display case that suits your fancy, just let us mention that you can bring in your favorite piece of sea glass and Wildfire Jewellery can turn it into a pendant in a matter of minutes OR you can contact the shop directly and be put on a waiting list while they search for that perfect size, colour and shape.
