August 26th Press Release!

Chester Merchants Press Release Last weekend Chester Yacht Club hosted the annual Tradewinds Realty Bluenose Championships. There were 21 boats on the line and it was a wonderful sight to see. Spectators lined the waterfront to watch the action and they were not disappointed. Many thanks to Tim Harris for the photo and to Tradewinds Realty for sponsoring the event. I felt it in the air the other day - that crisp north wind morning breeze. The air that spells "Skool Supplies" at the HS Zinck store. You dress accordingly at 0700 and by 0900 you're melting because it's now 30C. Yes, September is in the wings and with it comes even more fabulous weather, well except for the odd hurricane that may roll through. This Week in Chester "Flowers, Flowers, Flowers" is a lovely little shop at the corner of Pleasant and King Streets. Upon entering the aroma of fresh cut flowers takes you to a new level of peace.Stop by and see what Robin has in the fridge and on display. Friday has the Seaside Farmer's Market back at the Parade Square. This is the beginning of the harvest season. Stop by and pick up some seasonal vegetables, organic meats,eggs and more - all sorts of freshness to be found here. Friday evening Peter Grant and Three for Now are on stage at the Fo'c'sle Pub at 8pm. Drop by, have a meal then dance off the calories. Make a point to stop by Nicki's Inn this month for world class dining from Wednesday to Sunday. Nicki's is located just across the street from the flower shop. Here's a little clip to give you a better idea of what awaits you here. On Sunday Shawn Hebb will be strumming his guitar at the Fo'c'sle Pub from 4-8pm to accompany your evening repast. On Monday there will be a Blood Donor Clinic at the Chester Legion, 14 Union Street, from 1- 3 pm and 5 - 8 pm.  1-888-236-6283 for more info or to book an appointment. I dialed a number and got the following recording: "I am not available right now, but thank you for caring enough to call. I am making some changes in my life. Please leave a message after the beep. If I do not return your call, you are one of the changes." Suzi Fraser for the Chester Merchants Group
