Dear all,
It seems that we can finally leave our umbrellas at home, for now at least. Our patio is a great place to celebrate this!
The kitchen is currently open Wednesday – Sunday from noon to 8 pm. Shortly, we will resume our events starting with Father’s Day specials on the patio and Lebanese Cuisine night.
Heads up Dads and those who love them!
Read on for your chance to make Dad's special day even grander...
A group of Lanark County businesses have put together a Gift Basket for Dad that speaks to the senses. Collectively, we are giving away “made in Lanark County” Coffee, Chocolate, Maple Syrup Products, theatre tickets, a blanket, a history book, free beer, food and many more things.
To get your name (or your Dad’s name) in on the draw, all you have to do is "like" each of the participating businesses’ Facebook page and make a comment.

Father’s Day or Fathers Day, who has the answer?
Fathers Day: No apostrophe
The argument for this variant is that the fathers do not own the day itself. The day is a day for fathers not a day belonging to fathers, and, since no possession is involved, there is no need for an apostrophe.
Fathers’ Day: Apostrophe after the “s”
The argument for this variant is the same argument for the spelling of April Fools’ Day, and that is that there are many fathers in the world and this is all of their day. Therefore the plural possessive is necessary.
Father’s Day: Apostrophe Before the “s”
The argument for this variant is that the holiday belongs to fathers as individuals as they relate to an individual family. And since the holiday is a day where children recognize their respect and gratitude for their own father, the day is unique to him, giving him ownership over the day and therefore requiring an apostrophe before the “s.”
