of Friday at the Rope Loft as a regular Friday night without the prime
rib but with the opportunity to get primed. There will be a special
Western menu for those cowboys with a Texas style appetite and a taste
of something from south of the border. Jack Daniels ribs, a cowboy sized
sirloin, baked beans and Texas buttermilk cornbread to name a few of
the menu items. Giddy up! Reserve your table now @275-3430
Also Friday night the Fo'c'sle Pub has the Klunkers on stage @ 9pm. The Klunkers are a village favourite so get there early.

PRO kids fundraiser from 10 am -5 pm at #3802 Highway 3 (Lesley's old
Pantry) across from Tim Horton's.
Sunday there will be a crib tournament at the Chester Legion starting at 1 pm. |
