Greetings!

Well, it was very nice to have an entire summer of good weather rolled into Labour Day Weekend.

If you haven't been swimming, you should.
Go. Go now. These water temperatures are on par with the Clampett's cee-ment pond in Beverly Hills.

The Chester Heritage Society is wrapping up their "Underneath it All" exhibit this Saturday at the Lordly Museum at 133 Central Street.

How can we Chesterites share and participate in the Syrian refugee sponsorship effort?
Our local church leaders have some answers.They invite you to an information meeting this Saturday at 6 pm at the Baptist Church, 84 King Street.

Canadian comedian Mike MacDonald will be performing next Wednesday at the Chester Playhouse @7:30 pm. A staple of the "Just for Laughs" comedy festival and a revered comedian nationwide, Mike incorporates recent events and things that happen within his life into his routines. He has always been able to find the bright side to everything in life - from highly debated topics in the media to 12 hour family road trips. I'm sure he'll have a hey day with the upcoming Federal election.

The Chester Art Centre has engaged Janet Barkhouse to help you explore your poetic voice (should you have one) next Wednesday and Thursday from 1 - 4 pm where participants will explore their own unique voices. Bring a poem by one of your favourite poets to the first afternoon.
