Dame
Judi Dench needs no introduction. This woman is a power house. Don't
miss this screening.You owe it to yourself to be in one of those lovely
Chester Playhouse
chairs. Did you know those chairs came from the old Hyland theatre in
Halifax? You can buy a seat plaque for a chair and have your name
inscribed as a permanent supporter of the Playhouse.
Friday the
Chester Seaside Farmer's Market is back at the Parade Square from 2-5
pm. I got some interesting pickles there last week from the meat and pie
boys. There is every vegetable in the garden in the bottle. They call
them "3 Day Pickles" as they take a full three days to make. A bargain
at 5 bucks I thought and BTW they're delicious.
Saturday is the
unveiling of "SEA BEYOND" at the Chester Post Office @ 11:00 am. If you
enjoy views of the sea, preservation of our heritage, and appreciate
the value of unique handcrafted work, then you won't want to miss the
unveiling of the new tree carving at the Chester Post Office. Wildlife
Sculptor, Adam Connolly, has volunteered over 300 hours of his time to
sculpt our old Elm tree (RIP). The Municipality of Chester want to
publicly thank him for giving this tree a 'second life' to watch over
the Village. Over the last weeks, a donation jar was set up at the Post
Office to collect donations in appreciation of Adam's work with the
proceeds going to the Municipality of Chester P.R.O. Kids Program. If
you didn't have a chance to donate, it's not too late. Please come by
for the unveiling to thank Adam, donate to P.R.O. Kids and enjoy cake
& refreshments. It will be a great opportunity to mingle with
friends and admire the work of this world famous wood carver who happens
to live on Tancook. Who knows, you may even win a door prize. Parking
is available next door at the Chester Legion's upper parking lot.
