Our "About" on the Facebook page. A short description of what we are all about.


Consider this a space for the celebration of stories in Windsor - Essex. A sort of living and breathing folklore from artists, storytellers, musicians, photographers, or really anyone who has a story to tell. This is also a space for play, to imagine the Windsor - Essex of the future, a re-imagined past that changes our present, or an Essex of the fantastic where boys can turn into coyotes or goblins throw rocks at cars on Riverside. It is also a space for living history, for people to share the histories of their ancestors who worked the fields a century ago, or settled in Sandwich even earlier than that. Or those who arrived here a year ago from overseas and brought their stories with them. Because it is not the wine, or the sculpture, or the stretch of pavement downtown, or the tomato from the roadside stand that makes this place come alive for us. It is the story that puts masks of meaning on the mundane and lets us understand what it is like to live in Windsor - Essex on a whole different level.

This is truly meant as a place of celebration so we hope that any sharing of stories are respectful of others, and not meant to be slanderous. Not that some adult themes cannot be involved.
