This Week in Chester
Monday
night was the grand opening of the World War I display at the Lordly
House Museum located at 133 Central Street. This show features artifacts
and pictures of our local service men and women,war bonds,maps,post
cards and all sorts of stuff. There were cadets and songs from the era
and a dedication by veteran George Hilchie. It was fabulous. Get over to
Lordy House this month to check it out and learn about the Lordly
connection to WW1.
Last Thursday the Rope Loft hosted the "ABF"
opening regatta of the season. It was a ton of fun and even Richard won a
prize with his schooner "Endeavour" despite having no mast and
therefore no sails. Go figure.
This Thursday night the Rope Loft
is featuring their basket of "peel and eat shrimp." They also have
some fresh Bulwark apple cider on tap made from Annapolis Valley apples
to go with your little pink crustaceans.
Friday the Chester
Farmers Market boys and girls are back in town at the train
station/tourist bureau from 10 am - 2 pm. The asparagus won't last
forever so buck up and get over there. If we don't support this venture
they will leave, so make an effort to get there every week.
Friday night the Fo'c'sle Pub
is featuring their rib special from 5-10 pm. These ribs are "fall off
the bone" fabulous. Happy Hour is from 5-6pm so don't be late.
