This Week in Chester
Friday is Canada Day !
Get out the red and white streamers and show your pride in our country.
In the big picture, we're looking pretty good at the moment.
Canada Day Celebrations are kicking off at the Chester Legion with breakfast from 7:30 - 10:30 am. Eggs, french toast, hash browns, beans, bacon, sausage, toast, tea/coffee and juice - the whole enchilada! They will raise the flag at noon followed by a walk around Chester then back to the Legion to enjoy free hot dogs, cake & pop. That better be a l o n g walk because that is a lot of groceries.
It's business as usual for the Chester Farmers and Artisan Market this Friday. They aren't taking the day off and will be at the Chester Visitor Information Centre from 10 - 2 pm rain or shine. Stop by for some Canada Day Cake and enjoy live music whilst stocking up for the long weekend.
This is good news : there is a now a hop on/hop off shuttle bus service in Nova Scotia. Yeah!
Check out their website and please use the service if you can.
