This Week in Chester
Amicus
Gallery on Pleasant Street continues their show of all things equine
until the end of the month in keeping with the horsey set here in
Chester this week. Tailgate party anyone?
If you missed this show last week, tonight has the continuing run of Norm Foster's "The Melville Boys" at the Chester Playhouse.
A relaxing weekend trip of fishing, football, and beer is on the
agenda. A wrench is thrown in the works when the boys meet two
attractive sisters who inadvertently change more than their weekend
plans. In this modern Canadian romp, Foster offers a tender, vigorous
comedy of brotherhood and the unexpected. The four characters rediscover
themselves over two days of beers, tears, fights and laughs.The show
runs from tonight until Saturday at 8 pm with a matinee performance at 2
pm on Saturday.
"Hidden Talents" will be showing at the Train
Station Gallery daily until the end of the month. Crochet, knit, canvas
and needle work will be featured by Hilary McCarron along with bowl
turning and woodworking by Steve McCarron.
The Farmer's Market
is back at the Train Station on Friday from 10 - 2 pm.The tomatoes are
coming.... This is cause for celebration in it's own right !
There
are 13 bars in Nova Scotia competing against 100 watering holes in
Canada for "Canada's Favourite" in Air Canada's enRoute Magazine

September 9th. Let's put Chester on the map with what we do best.
Friday
night the Hupman brothers are on stage at the Fo'c'sle @ 9pm. Don't

On
Saturday the Chester Heritage House and Harbour Tour is back this year
come rain or shine from 10 - 4pm. The tour starts at the Chester Train
Station and promises lots of interesting places to snoop
through. Tickets are $30, available on the day of the tour. Dial
275-3852 for info.
Next month you will have to dial 902 in
addition to the number as well. What a bore. Imagine doing that on a
rotary phone. I remember the day when 4 digits did the trick. My
grandmother Rene told me of the days when you just picked up the phone
and asked for "Central."
The Maritime Bluenose Championships are
being held this weekend at the Chester Yacht Club. Get down to the
waterfront and watch these delightful little sloops battle it out for
bragging rights.
"Lovely Stuff," the pop up shop at "Lesley's
Pantry" across from Tim Horton's, is popping down. This is the last
weekend to purchase all sorts of goodies from Friday until Sunday from
11am- 4pm. Check out the china, linens, old albums, antique furniture,
books, old cameras, clothes ... the list is endless !
