Another Ottawa Valley community has thrown itself into the fray as television crews look to put on a hometown takeover.
Municipal staff in Shawville say there is still time for the public to be part of their push to be part of HGTV’s “Hometown Takeover,” encouraging residents of all ages and local businesses to show their enthusiasm by recording 5 to 10 videos enticing the show’s production team to make a visit.
Interested residents will need to act fast, as the deadline to send submissions to town staff via email is noon on Wednesday, December 24th.
Shawville is the second community in and around Renfrew County and the MRC Pontiac to pitch their home for the show, joining the City of Pembroke’s bid from earlier in December.
