Those of you that are out of water might want to a attend tonight's Village Commission meeting at
7
pm in their offices at the corner of King and Pleasant Streets. On the
agenda is a central water feasibility study. Bring your tub toys - maybe
they have a shower.
Cynthia Myers is back ! She has harnessed 25
short ones and is bringing them to the stage tonight at 7 pm and all
this week until Saturday night with a matinee on Saturday at 2 pm.
The Chester Playhouse Summer Theatre School
presents "Damn Yankees." Baseball lovers everywhere can identify with
insurance agent Joe Boyd, a die-hard Washington Senators fan who puts
his soul in hock to help them wrest the pennant away from the hated,
all-conquering Yankees.
Light, fast-paced and devilishly clever, Damn
Yankees is a home-run hit; a wicked romantic comedy, with a memorable
escape clause.
Tomorrow, Thursday, there is a "Pop Up Show" featuring paintings, prints and pots crafted by
Robert
Seyffert, Rosi Robinson and Alexandra McCurdy. The opening reception is
from 6-8 pm at 54 Queen Street behind the old Haven Herald.The show
runs until Saturday from 11am-5 pm.
The Chester Farmers' and Artisans are back on Friday from 10 am - 2 pm rain or shine and judging by the past month, it will be shine. A food bounty awaits you.

there is a breakfast at the Chester Legion from 7:30 - 10:30 am. Eggs
(any way you like them), French toast, hash browns, beans, bacon,
sausages, toast, tea/coffee and juice.
Unwind from Race Week with Paul and Eilidh Buchanan playing Scottish Fiddle at the Chester Bandstand at 7 pm Sunday evening.
The Chester Playhouse welcomes one of Australia's top guitarists, Lloyd Spiegel,
on stage at 8pm Sunday night. This soulful blues artist performs with

 I know we'd all rather be sailing but this is important stuff !

When life is stressful, do something to lift your spirits.
Go for a drive. Go two or three thousand kilometers away.
Maybe change your name.
