This Friday "Oh, Canada, We Sing for Thee!" is on stage at the Chester Playhouse at 7:30pm.
"Oh,
Canada" takes you on an exciting musical journey across this
spectacular country with a cavalcade of hits from our greatest stars
with some funny anecdotes to accompany. Sing-along to Gordon Lightfoot,
Anne Murray, Celine Dion, Michael Buble, Shania Twain, Stompin' Tom
Connors, Buffy Ste. Marie, Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, The Guess Who,
Ian & Sylvia, Neil Young, Don Messer, Bryan Adams, BTO and many
more. The superb musicianship, and incredible storytelling make us all
proud to be Canadian!
From Canada's influence on early Rock 'n Roll
music with the 50's songs, Little Darlin', & the boisterous Sh'Boom,
to the breath-taking modern duet of Celine Dion/David Foster's The
Prayer, this concert showcases an extraordinary range of music. A
highlight is the singers' beautiful rendition of the late Leonard
Cohen's "Hallelujah."
This Saturday is November 11th. This is the
day to remember our veterans and honour them for their service. Plan to
repair to the cenotaph before 11am and join with the rest of the
Villagers to remember and give thanks.

Chester
alum Ann Barry has written a book called "Sweet Ride." It is the summer
of 1943 and the tentacles of World War II are lapping the shores of
Nova Scotia as four young women leave Lunenburg County on the trip of a
lifetime - by bicycle to Charlottetown PEI. This is a creative
non-fiction story of challenge and endurance, emancipation and
doggedness but most of all it is a story of friendship. Ms Barry is
launching her book next Monday at the Mahone Bay Centre from 2-4 pm.
