This Week in Chester
The
short ones are back on stage. This week the Chester Playhouse After
School Program is proud to invite you to attend their final two shows
tonight Wednesday, and tomorrow, Thursday at 7 pm both evenings.
Each play is conceived, written and directed by the inimitable Cynthia Myers.
The
After School Program provides an opportunity for students too young for
the Summer Theatre School program to explore the world of acting with a
helping hand.
Don't forget every Wednesday the Library Bus is at the Chester Legion from 1- 4pm.
This
is a wonderful resource. Use it or lose it - make a point to check out
what they have to offer. Recently released movies are just one of the
many finds available here at minds on wheels.
Friday, the Chester Farmers' and Artisan Market
is happening at the Chester Visitor Information Centre at the old train
station from 10am - 2pm (rain or shine). The market offers a variety of
local farm vendors and artisan vendors selling fresh fish, meat,
breads, veggies, baked goods, jewelry, soaps, folk art, flowers, sweet
treats, hot food to go and more.
Stop in at the VIC and visit
with George Evans our Chester raconteur who has created a whole new
world of experiences for visitors and locals alike. Thank you George for
your unbridled enthusiasm !
