Chester Merchants Press Release


In case you have missed every notice in the newspaper under your bowl of morning Shreddies, be advised that you have exactly 4 shopping days left until Father's Day.

Very exciting news : This is the first week of the weekly green bin pick up. No longer will the aroma of your bin join your backyard BBQ's.

This Week in Chester

Tonight at 6 and 7:30 pm the Chester Playhouse after school Productions presents "Text Me" directed by the fabulous Cynthia Myers. Rug rats and android devices await you on the stage. Nate cannot function without his cell phone, he's forgotten what it's like to look someone in the eye and relies completely on technology to communicate. Based on the myth of Narcissus, this show is about maintaining human contact in a world that invites you to plug in.

On Friday the 7th annual Canadian Cancer Relay For Life will be held at the Chester Area Middle School from 7 pm to 7 am Saturday.  For more info about the Relay and/or get involved, call Sheila @ 275-5720 or Lynn@ 275-3263.  Anyone who knows any survivor that would like to attend the survivors reception, call Gerri @275-3817.

Don't forget the Seaside Farmer's Market at the village square by the Yacht Club from 2:30 - 5 pm. Bring your eco friendly bag and load up on goodies for the week.

Friday night is a big music night here in Chester with two very different genres.
The Chester Playhouse has Mike Cowie and the Booty Boppin' Brass Band on stage at 8pm. Dial up the Playhouse to ensure yourself a seat.

Also tonight the Fo'c'sle Pub is showcasing a new band "Memphis Knights," a rockabilly dance band featuring some tunes of Buddy Holly,Chuck Barry, Elvis and more. The band fires up at 8pm and the grill is on fire till 10pm.

Saturday is your last day to procure the gift that says "I thought about this for months, not 12 hours ago." Chester Building Supplies is a good place to start for toys for boys. All sorts of goodies for the man of the house. Maybe a membership to NiLu gym? How about something to decorate the Man Cave from the Warp and Woof. All our shops have something for dad; check us out.

After all your hunting and gathering why not drop in to the Fo'c'sle and listen to the tunes of Darren Arsenault, a village favourite.The kitchen closes at 9 tonight so get your order in accordingly.

Sunday is THE day and if you missed the gift window, dining options abound. Treat dad to brunch at the Rope Loft on the waterfront and watch the world sail by. The Kiwi Café has expanded their venue and have many delicious items on their brunch menu. Nicki's Inn presents a Sunday Roast from 5-8pm; a wonderful english tradition that puts the pasture on your plate.

Next Wednesday Chester Harbour Yoga & Massage Therapy is hosting their Summer Solstice Open House from 5-7pm.

One may never understand why women love cats. Cats are independent, they don't listen, they don't come in when called, they like to stay out all night, and when they're home they like to be left alone and sleep. In other words, every quality that women hate in a man, they love in a cat.

Happy Father's Day !
