We want to thank everyone who came out on a rainy weekend and supported Local Legends at the Victorian Christmas Market this past weekend! Safe to say we think there will be some happy faces on Christmas morning! At the end of the day, we raise $60 for the Food Bank and that's something to smile about!   The fun isn't stopping there though! Don't forget, we'll also be at the Sip & Shop, presented by DWN TWN FOX on Sunday, December 18th at Upstreet Craft Brewing! See you then!

#LocalLegendsStory! This one is from a close friend of Local Legends, Jeremy MacAulay!"Hey! My name is Jeremy MacAulay and I’m originally from Ottawa, but call PEI home. Growing up I was fortunate enough to spend every summer in Souris, PEI, my father’s hometown. Souris has a special piece in my heart from the bridge jumping at Basin Head to the relaxed days at the cottage I call that place home (even if I’ll always be “from away”). When I was 10 years old I went to hockey school at Andrew’s hockey school like many young Islanders and got familiar with UPEI. At that...
