Fall is here! The leaves are turning rapidly and many are at their most colourful. It is a perfect time for a historical drive through our beautiful countryside, with the return of the much-beloved Brome County Historical Society’s Fall Foliage Cavalcade, on Sunday, October 4, 2020, departing at 1 p.m. from the Centennial building, 130 Lakeside,
