Chester Merchants Press Release
Greetings!
The Super Moon has come and gone and it was, well, super.
How's your new Movember facial fur pile coming along? I saw a nice set of mutton chops at the Legion last weekend. Go Chris !
We
can't go further without addressing the elephant in the room. A friend
likened the activity in the US this week to the equivalent of
rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. |

This Week in Chester
The Village Emporium has some fresh new stock in for the Christmas
crazy season. Photos of many of items they have in stock are on their facebook page.
Light My Fire
Candle studio on Duke Street have finished their fall renovations. They
are celebrating the new windows and door with a working model railroad,
a Gingerbread House display and a fresh bottle of Windex.
Stop by and see what's on the go and book your group for a Peppermint Snowball workshop.
I
had to ask ..."A gorgeous round candle frosted like a snowball and
scented with peppermint essential oil." So there's your answer. Book
now.
This Friday is the Fish Friday Fun(d)-raiser from 6 - 8pm at St. Stephen's Hall.
Come
one come all for fish and chips, fabulous dessert and a whole boatload

Stephen's Parish Office $20/ person $10/ under 12.

Friday night at the Chester Playhouse Evans and Doherty hit the stage at 7:30 pm.
This

35 years. This is a lively blend of traditional, original and
contemporary Irish songs with a liberal sprinkling of stories and
humour.

Fundraiser for the Chester Playhouse this season please call George
Evans @ 902-279-1955 to set up a pick up/drop off time for your
devilishly delicious food item. If it is perishable, a photo will do.

December 17th. Bid now, bid often.
In other Playhouse news the poinsettias are b a c k ! Yes, sadly, you can't kill them.
$20
for 7" pots in red or white. Wave the Canadian colours and shop now.

After
the Playhouse wraps Friday night, head on over to the Chester Legion
for a night of karaoke to try out your new Irish tunes. For more info
call 902-275-3315.
The Gingerbread Houses will be on display
throughout the village shops as of this Saturday. You should come to see
these fabulous creations sooner than later, because with this heatwave,
they may be a pool of spun sugar.
They are on their way to make snowballs

Our annual "Shop Chester" contest is in
high gear. Shop at participating Chester merchants and receive a ballot
for a mega gift-basket filled with all kinds of goodies provided by the
local merchants. "Shop Chester, Shop Local."
This Saturday at 4 pm at the Rope Loft, Geraldine Tuck will be launching her
third book in the Marauder trilogy "The
Mystery Marauders," a story of two 13 year-old sleuths who try their
hand at solving the Oak Island Mystery.
All three books will be for sale - $9.95
or three for $25.00. A nice gift for young readers to wean them of that
computer habit. These books may also be found at the Village Emporium.
There will be a 15 minute introduction by
Danny Hennigar with some background information on Oak Island and the
author will follow up from there.
On Sunday there is a crib tournament at the
Chester Legion starting 1 pm - enough time to get to church before the
first caesar of the day.
Next Monday the Chester Garden Club
is holding their AGM at St. Stephen's Hall at 6:30 for 7 pm. Guest
Speaker Svenja Dee will talk about new styles and trends for the
holidays and do a presentation on how to make things out of natural materials. The AGM will follow the presentation.

Two
blondes living in Oklahoma were sitting on a bench chatting. One says
to the other, "Which do you think is farther away ... Florida or the
moon?"
The other blonde turns and says "Hellooooo, can you see Florida...?"
