It seems everyone is complaining about the weather. A sore topic among Windsorites , spring just has not co-ooperated, but is it having an impact on some local businesses bottom lines? You bet. The excessive rain and unseasonable cool temps have done nothing to inspire people to get out and spend those springtime dollars. Garden Centres, Pool companies, boating establishments, motorcycle shops and ice cream stores are all awaiting that first pop of warm weather to get people moving on summertime activities (and purchases). Outdoor restaurant and bar patios come alive with people as well when the nights are warm and the days sunny. And lets not forget those who work outside like farmers and construction workers. Weather can easily put crops and projects behind and cost money. But that’s life right? Unfortunately we cannot change the weather and everyone ultimately must deal with it on some level. Heres hoping to a fabulous May 24 Long weekend and a temperate kickoff to the 2011 summer season. Now get out there and play!

Start the Holiday Machine
Amidst the glitz, glamour and activity of this past weekends Biz X Awards was another yearly event on the other side of the river known as Black Friday. An unofficial kick-off to the holiday shopping season stores embrace the Friday after U.S. Thanksgiving with sales, specials and early openings. The Biz X Awards serve to create a holiday boost for area retailers and small businesses as well through promotion and exposure. From the print and online edition of the magazine to the gala the event showcases a wide variety of industries and services that we use everyday, many that require a strong holiday season for the their yearly bottom line. The event is also a great networking function with fellow award winners, media personalities and business people. Thanks to Deborah Jones and all who work behind the scenes in organizing this fabulous event, all of the businesses who participated and of course our judges and presenters. Let the holiday season begin!
