 Greetings,
Chester
is oozing ground ginger from every pore. As you turn off route 3 into
the village, roll down the window and follow your nose. It will take
you to the Arts Centre at 60 Queen St where all 16 houses are on
display. The Centre is open over the next two weekends from 10am-5pm
Saturdays and 12-4pm Sundays. You may also view them throughout the week
by calling the Centre @ 275-5789 and leave a message or email
chestergingerbreadfestival@gmail.com and a gingerbread will let you in.

you are looking to add some Christmas tunes to your life this month,
