Summer
solstice is Friday, June 21st when the tilt of a planet's semi-axis in
the northern hemisphere, is most inclined towards the sun. Earth's
maximum axial tilt toward the sun is 23° 26'. So that elusive yellow
ball will be at it's highest point in the sky and, while I hate to point
out the hard, cold facts...it's all downhill from here.
Head on down to the Fo'c'sle Pub
and celebrate your own axial tilt with Memphis Knights. The band fires
up at 9pm, but the kitchen extinguishes their fire at 9, so get there
earlier to assure yourself some ribs.
Check in with Light My Fire
studio on Duke Street and see what they've pulled out of the wax vats
over the winter. More than just candles here: a delightful array of a
variety of artisans work and other groovy goodies.
Remember
the green bins are now a weekly celebration of compost relocation, so
drive your little green gremlin to the curb every week until September.
Saturday night has Kevin Koloff and his Gypsy Minstrels on stage at the Fo'c'sle Pub. John Lennon will be there.
There
will be a gospel concert at the Baptist Church, 84 King Street @ 7 pm
with the Son's of Thunder from Bridgewater Baptist Church. Get out your
best "Sunday goin' to meetin' hat" and sing along.
Monday
the vampires are back in town at the Chester Legion from 1-3 pm and
5-8pm. For info call 1-888-236-6283. Lose a pound while giving the gift
of life.
Summer kicks off at the Chester Art Centre
June 25th with Nancy Dunaway, past chair of the art department at
Henderson State University in Arkansas, doing a three-day multi-media
workshop called Artist's Soup. Explore a number of techniques including
collage, layering, stamping, stenciling and using found objects. Nancy
will also chronicle her artistic life in a lecture called "Without a
Map... Following the Heart" on Wednesday, June 26th. |
