This Week in Chester
The Chester Playhouse presents the comedy "God of Carnage" which runs tonight until Saturday at 8 pm with a 2 pm matinee on Saturday as well.The play follows the meeting of a pair of parents following a scuffle between their sons. The parents meet to discuss the issue and while the overtures are polite and civilized, the underpinnings suggest something far less so. As the evening progresses, the discussion deconstructs, resulting in a wickedly funny comedy where the gloves come off.
Tomorrow,Thursday, the Chester Garden Club's Annual Flower Show & Tea will be held at the Legion from 1:30 - 5 pm. Tea will be served from 2 - 4 pm. The competition is open to members and the rest of us. Get there early or all those delightful sandwiches with the crusts cut off will be gone.
Friday is the weekly Farmer's Market at the old Train Station from 10-2pm. Stop by the Laughing Whale coffee stand and ask that cute boy for a sample of their "Oh la la" blend. It will wake you up with a slap on the face.
There is movement afoot for a softball game this Sunday at 11am. The venue is the base ball park at the very end of Lower Grant Road. There is a lake for swimming and a lovely beach so bring your swim suit. All ages and levels of skill are welcome. Those with no level of skill are invited to cook the hot dogs, keep score and cheer when prompted. Bring your own drinks.
The more the merrier. For further info contact Katie. kt-mac@hotmail.com
