Stoney Shire Inc. Community Update

Hello Stoney Shire Community,

It’s been an exciting season here at Stoney Shire, and we’re thrilled to share what we’ve been working on and what’s just around the corner!

Santa’s Workshop: A Season of Joy

We’re putting the final touches on this year’s Santa’s Workshop, and it’s shaping up to be an unforgettable experience for the kids. From interactive crafting stations to holiday surprises, there’s something special for every child to enjoy. The Toy Drive for the event is now underway at Broadway Cafe and Bakery, with a focus on gifts that inspire creativity and joy. We’ll be there on Saturday, November 16th, from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM, so stop by to say hello, make a donation, and feel the magic of the season with us. The drive will run until December 5th—thank you for helping us make this season brighter for everyone involved!

The SOAP Box Podcast

Our SOAP Box podcast is going strong, giving voice to the stories, talents, and perspectives of our community. Through thoughtful conversations, we’re bringing our community together and shining a light on the local businesses, artists, and individuals who make our region unique. Every share, comment, and like goes a long way in helping us spread the word, and we appreciate your support as we continue to grow.

Local E-Commerce: Launching Soon

Our local e-commerce platform will relaunch in the new year, and it’s more than just a marketplace—it’s a movement. This platform, along with everything we’re building now and in the future, is dedicated to helping our community and others support one another and thrive independently from large corporations and outside reliance. Through this platform, we’re creating opportunities for local artisans, small businesses, and makers to reach audiences close to home and beyond. Stay tuned as we build a shopping experience rooted in supporting our neighbors and sustaining our community.

The Dream of Stoney Shire

Imagine a place where families, friends, and neighbors come together to enjoy timeless traditions and hands-on experiences—a vibrant destination designed to celebrate community and creativity. Stoney Shire is envisioned as a space that truly has something for everyone.

Explore our pumpkin patch, Christmas tree farm, and Christmas town, which offer seasonal attractions and make for unforgettable family outings. Take a stroll through our marketplace where local artisans and vendors share their crafts, providing a marketplace built to uplift our local economy.

Throughout the Shire, workshops are ready to teach practical life skills and trades like woodworking, crafting, and gardening. Families can enjoy a classic night out at the drive-in movie theater, relax around the fire pits, or venture into the campsites for an overnight outdoor experience.

The horse ranch invites guests to connect with animals and experience the thrill of galloping through our scenic trails. For the little ones, a daycare ensures they’re safe and entertained, while the community lodge provides a space for gatherings, snowmobiling, and camping events.

At Stoney Shire, we’re bringing together elements that celebrate tradition, independence, and self-sufficiency in a fun and engaging way. It’s a place where memories are made, skills are learned, and the community comes to life—where every visit is an adventure, and every experience strengthens our connection to one another.
