Chester Merchants Press Release
|
 Greetings!
Just
when you thought we were disappearing into obscurity... here's a quote
from July's "Real Simple" magazine. The question posed was: "What is the
most beautiful place you have ever visited?"
The second place
mentioned was Chester. "Chester is a little seaside village with a
dense, deep-green elm and chestnut forest on one side and the dark blue
ocean on the other. I used to summer there regularly, and I still
remember the glorious sunsets and the delicious blueberries...."
Melanie Ryan, Rochester, Minnesota. Page 23 in case you're interested.
There you go Tim, real estate prices will sky rocket. Keep the faith brother. |

This Week in Chester
Tomorrow,Thursday,
is cadet registration for returning recruits and newbies at the Chester
Legion from 7- 8pm. Polish your boots and get over there with all your
forms in triplicate.
While the kids are at the Legion, sneak off
to the Fo'c'sle for "Crafty Thursday." $3 off a pitcher of draught to
wash the winglets down.
Friday is the Farmer's Market at the
Train Station from 10-2pm. It was PACKED there last week- they were 3
deep at every stall. Get there early.
Saturday holds great promise - there are a bunch of "foodies" coming to the Chester Playhouse for the day from 9-4pm. Rustik Magazine is pleased to announce Canada's first-ever festival celebrating food and words "Alimentary Ideas." It's $50 for the day and you can register here .
Plan to arrive with a knife, fork and bib.
Join
Rustik for a conversation with Mark Singer, staff writer from The New
Yorker, and Scott DeSimon, deputy editor of Bon Appétit. They will
anchor a day that has leading food entrepreneurs and renowned chefs
attending from across North America.That divine chef from "Raymond's"
resto in St John's is enough to make one want to attend alone.
For all you twitter birds out there, here's the hash tag #foodandwords

The
After School Drama Program starts next week. Under the direction of
Cynthia Myers and with support from Arts Nova Scotia, the price is
$100.00/student. The three shows will be staged in December at the

Next Monday, the Chester Art Centre
kicks off Annika Junger's workshop "Knitting to Felt" which runs
September 15, 22 and 29 from 7- 9 pm. Annika will cover all the knitting
basics from casting on and off, knitting in the round and so on - but
the real fun is knitting an impossibly oversized garment and then
shrinking it down to size. In short, turning your knitting into felt.
For info contact annika.junger@gmail.com.

information
