North Muskoka – Get ready to tuck into a delicious brunch at a new venue over lots of laughs in October.

Community Living Huntsville’s 2023 Autumn Brunch presented by Tall Trees will welcome guests to the Active Living Centre, 7 Camp Kitchen Road, Huntsville, Ontario, on Sunday, October 1, from 10:30 AM to 2:00 PM. Tickets are $65 per person and available at bit.ly/autumnbrunch2023. The deadline to purchase tickets is September 21.

“You do not want to miss this superb morning of excellent food, fun, and inspiring conversations worth having with a comedic guest speaker,” says Jennifer Jerrett, Community Engagement Specialist for Community Living Huntsville. “We are so excited to offer guests a revitalized Autumn Brunch experience that remains filled with – and dedicated to – inspiring possibilities for inclusion of people with developmental disabilities.”

Tall Trees co-owners and chefs Ashley and Randy Vowels, who are proud supporters of Community Living Huntsville and have joined the event for the first time, have created a signature menu for the event. It features stuffed French toast, southwest eggs Benedict cups, glazed whole-roasted peameal bacon, smoked mozzarella ravioli with sundried tomato and creamy pesto, a build-your-own omelette and egg station, and more.

In addition to sharing a buffet brunch together, guests can also enjoy the event’s hallmark mimosa mingle, silent auction, vendors, and live music. After brunch, Michael McCreary, an autistic comedian, actor, author, and sought-after speaker, will give his audience permission to laugh at the lighter side of the autism spectrum, while offering valuable perspective toward a more inclusive community.
