Many of the galleries opened their doors, serving mulled cider and hors d’oeuvres, as the visitors admired and purchased the art work on display, offered at special discounts for the event.

Musical entertainment,Christmas carols and tree lighting along with “Baked Beans and Brown bread”,teas, homemade apple pies and even a Lobster Dinner at the “Octopus’ Garden Cafe” in Alma

were among the highlights.

If you missed it this year, be sure to check it out in 2011!

A special thanks to those who organised this event for our community!

Earlier today, winds were reported at as high as 50 knots.

The waves were raging at the beach in Alma and could be seen from the old schoolhouse, surging high into the air.

Considerable damage was sustained along the sea wall, with portions ripped away by the force of the incoming tide.

Debris was strewn alongside one of the hotels, logs,seaweed and rocks having been thrown about by the force of the winds.

One of the fishing boats broke loose, but has now been safely secured.

Thankfully, the last boat out in the bay, made it to shore and the harbour .

All the lobster boats are accounted for,which is a major relief for the community.

Just a reminder that Hallowe’en is just around the corner!  A reminder from the city of Alma was sent out that curfew is 9pm and police will be patrolling the area keeping our homes and streets safe.

Pictured above is the gorgeous Fundy coastline.  Located in New Brunswick we see the Fundy tides stretch across the water overlooking Nova Scotia, Canada.  Here in Fundy, the clouds move at rapid speeds, along with the winds and tides.  In the photograph you can see the shadows from the clouds reflecting on the ever-changing waters below.  Looking out through the dark green and thick Fundy National Park forest in October is a prime breathtaking scenery hot-spot in North America.
