The last time Mary-Lou was my guest, we sat across the table from each other at the Scuttlebutt in Stevensville. This was before masks were commonplace and indoor dining faced public health restrictions. Today, she returns to The Fort Erie Podcast to talk about her involvement with the Stevensville Farmers’ Market and the economic development of downtown Stevensville.
