| This Week in Chester 
 Tomorrow night, Thursday, the grades 3-5 present "Puff" at the Chester Playhouse at 7 pm.
 Set
 in Newfoundland the story follows the town grouch trying to hide a lie 
he told years ago. Determined to get the truth, Miss Wicks, the health 
care practitioner and her trusted friend Lady Grenfell, set off to 
discover what's been causing the grouch's mysterious burns. Cynthia, 
Marla, Bunch and many other souls have been face and eyes into this 
production so you know it will be top drawer.
 
 Stop in at the Fo'c'sle for a wing or twelve before heading over. Get the sauce "hot on." Divine !
 
 Friday
 has the Farmers in the Dell back at the Chester train station from 10- 2
 pm. Despite the ghastly weather they have coerced/pleaded/threatened 
their seedlings to grow and are bringing them to Chester for you.
 
 Friday evening the Rope Loft
 on the waterfront will be serving up prime rib with all the trimmings. 
They are featuring some local reds so get down there and try them ALL 
out.
 
 There will be a plant sale from 9-1 pm at Louisiana 
Pacific's composting facility open house at the Union Hall in East 
River, 7216 Hwy 329. Jodi DeLong will be the guest speaker and master
