New ‘Frenchsicle’ in Leamington Friday A limited time ‘pop-up’ popsicle event is coming to Seacliff Park in Leamington on Friday, June 24. The ketchup flavoured popsicle has been developed by French’s in partnership with Happy Pops, a Canadian brand specializing in all-natural ice pops. The Frenchsicle is made from 100 per cent Canadian tomatoes and features
a savoury tomato flavour that’s balanced with a hint of salty sweetness. The pop-up at Seacliff Park will be the final stop in the Ontario tour and runs from 11:30 am to 2:30 pm. The icy treats are free and for every one given away, French’s will donate two meals to Food Banks Canada.

Letter to Editor
Kudos to Leamington Fair
A big kudos to the Leamington Agricultural Society who put together a successful fair in only seven weeks. With a lot of fuss about the admission cost of $25, it didn’t show as the lines to get in and at the rides were always full of people. There were very limit-
ed board members who worked tirelessly to put something together in such a short time who shouldn’t go unnoticed. Without them, the fair couldn’t have happened. Thank you, Lora Lee Scratch Leamington
