Chester Merchants Press Release

Greetings!

This past week has been shocking and solemn for Canada.

In Quebec, Ontario, and here on Nova Scotia's Hwy 103, we tragically lost 3 good people.
3 people left home in the morning and never made it back again. All seem senseless and so very sad. 
Be thoughtful. Live each day with purpose and appreciation.
 
This Week in Chester

Friday, of course, will bring all the wee rug rats out at dusk as they trick or treat around the village. Be prepared for some excellent costumes that may be darting about in a sugar frenzy. Drive carefully if en route to your Friday night out.... which could include a Halloween Party at the Fo'c'sle with prizes for the best costumes (We'll miss George this year :( ) It's the usual Rib Night special and regular menu but The George Carter Band will be playing from 9-1pm.

Just around the corner Hog the Covers are playing at the Chester Legion from 9:00 pm to 1:00 am. $5 cover. Prizes for costumes too, but if your face is covered you have to 'expose' yourself to the bartender for a drink... Sounds scary. Members and guests over 19 years welcome.  For more info call 902 275-3315.

On Saturday, there's a Roast Beef Supper at the Chester United Baptist Church from 4:30 to 6:00 pm.  Enjoy roast beef, mashed potatoes, vegetables, dessert, tea/coffee.  Adults $12 and Children under 12 years $6. Take-outs available. Sponsored by the Masonic Clarke Lodge #61.

All just in time for catching Carlton Stone, Dylan Guthro and Breagh MacKinnon at the Chester Playhouse at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 adult/$16 student and available by calling 902 275-3933 or online at www.chesterplayhouse.ca.Three outstanding, singer songwriter musicians under one roof. Quite a treat!

Or start November in '70s style at the The Galley's inaugural Disco Ball.  Squeeze into your favorite bell-bottom catsuit, don the platforms and dance the night away. Doors open at 8pm. Tickets are $15 or $25 per couple, which includes a comp 70s cocktail, light snacks, music and 'almost 70s drink prices' - reserve today at 902 273 3463.  à la carte snack menu will also be available.

On Sundays throughout November (there are 5 of them and the first one is this Sunday 2nd) The Chester Municipal Heritage Society are holding two-hour guided walking tours of the West side of Gold River Gold Mines, part of the Nova Scotia Gold Rush of the 1860s.
