An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a computerized device that can analyze a person’s heart rhythm, then deliver an electrical shock to restore a heartbeat. It gives directions through voice prompts and visual indicators. An AED is very simple and safe to use. It will not deliver a shock if the victim does not need one. |

That's a wrap! Our online shop is now closed for the season. This season saw many ups and downs, lessons learned, and hard decisions made. We are SO grateful to the vendors who stuck with us all season, figured out how to sell online using a platform that wasn't always the most cooperative. We didn't always have the support we expected, but are very grateful to the handful of patrons who DID stick it out through the long load times to keep supporting their local vendors. |

Many of our vendors continue to sell year round, so we encourage you to support them. Choosing to spend your dollars locally can make a important impact to the local economy, and while it may take a bit more effort than just getting an item via Amazon, it's well worth it for continuing to grow our community in a sustainable way. |

Here’s a few tips that were shared for pickling chanterelles: choose only firm, non-buggy mushrooms. Buttons work great! blanch for 1-3 minutes (depending on mushroom size) to remove excess water use a recipe that calls for at least partial Apple Cider Vinegar, for more delicious flavour! Try adding in fresh garlic cloves and hot pepper rings along with the pickling spices.
Have you got a great recipe or tip for preserving mushrooms? Send us your tips to info@sandspitcommunitysociety.com and we’ll try to share in our next newsletter!
