Unfortunately, I have just discovered that there will be road work on the roundabout that takes traffic into St. Jacobs from Hwy 85 N. The exit to Regional Road 17 (Sawmill Rd.) will be closed for the weekend, so we must now drive through the village to get to the Community Centre on Parkside Drive. The city will hopefully be putting up detour signs with a notice about the expo, but we want to try our best to make sure no one gets lost. If you have any questions regarding this, please e-mail us at
stjacobs_reptile_expo@yahoo.ca or call us at 519-884-0246.
