The Cosmo Seniors Center Spring Trade featured a range of vendors from signs, baking, clothes to household products from vendors million — just $159,000 shy of April last year. A slow start to construction this year means permit values year to date of $7.85 million are about 30 per cent lower than last year.

The concession served apple, cherry, coconut cream and amazing lemon meringue pies.

The first two single-family homes of the year were permitted for $560,000. That compares with five worth just over $2 million to the end of April last year.
