James Naismith in winter apparel

by Brent Eades

A request from some local merchants for a ‘wintry’ Almonte photo reminded me of shots I’ve taken of James Naismith’s statue on Mill Street, outside Baker Bob’s.

I’ve noticed that during especially cold or snowy periods, James eventually sports a hat or scarf that some concerned local citizen apparently felt he needed. This is such an interesting little town, you never know what you’ll see next.
