Moms can purchase space for $25. Vendors may purchase a table for $55 or the space for $50.

Stolen backhoe used in wire theft
LEAMINGTON – The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is investigating the theft of a backhoe in Leamington that was later used to break into a fenced compound in Lakeshore where a large spool of wire was stolen. Sometime overnight between March 7 and March 8, a 2003 John Deere 310SG backhoe was removed by an unknown suspect(s) from a job site on Mersea Road 6. On March 9 at about 4:30 a.m., the same backhoe was used in a break-in to a fenced compound on Lake-
shore Rd. 125. Surveillance video captured an individual using the backhoe to pull a large spool of wire cable through the fence and then remove it from the scene. Anyone with information about these crimes is asked to contact the Essex County Major Crime Unit at 519723-2491. Should you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477 (TIPS) or leave an anonymous message at www.catchcrooks.com where you may be eligible
