Chester Merchants Press Release
Greetings!
Well,
last weekend was special - and I don't mean that in a good way. Where
is global warming when you really need it ? ... like when my pipes
froze.
The upside of last week was the two terrific shows at the
Playhouse. Kudos to the organizers, staff and volunteers who made it all
happen.The Playhouse has wrapped for 2016, but will rise to the
occasion for their New Year's Day levée from 11-1pm. All are welcome.
The
shop local draw was a huge hit this year and the winner is ... drum
roll ... Chester Moss from Western Shore. $1600.00 worth of goodies to
play with.
The Gingerbread House People's Choice award goes to "Whoville." Congratulations to Leeona Guy-Bergey and Heather Guy.
Today is Winter Solstice. Summer is coming. There IS light at the end of the tunnel. |

Remember
every Tuesday night is trivia and half price burgers at Chester's own
"living room" aka the Fo'c'sle Pub. Exercise that lump of knowledge and
meet some new friends.

The
Santa Claus at the shopping mall was very surprised when a young lady
walked up and sat on his lap. Perplexed, he asked 'What would you like
for Christmas?'
'Something for my mother" she replied.
Well, that's very thoughtful of you,' smiled Santa. 'What would you like me to bring her?'
'A son-in-law.'
Here's a cheery little Christmas tune guaranteed to make you smile.
Merry Christmas to all of you from all of us.
