Greetings!
I did a little road trip last week and hit the south west end of the province. I hate to get mushy but we really are lucky to live here.
How's the trout in the well? If he is like the Monty Python parrot... fill out this form.

This Week in Chester
Tonight, Wednesday, at 7pm is the Municipal Candidates meeting at
the Chester Legion. Candidates from District 3 - Danielle Barkhouse and
Brenda Mulrooney, and District 7 - Sharon Church Cornelius and Doug
Sharpham will be there to answer your questions. A flask might be a good
idea. This event is sponsored by the Chamber and Voctada.
This is it - the end of the road for local veg supply - the rutabaga stops here. The farmers
are loading up their wagons and heading to Florida for the winter. Get
there this Friday between 10 and 2 pm to get all the fall harvest
goodies before they blow dodge.
"Everything Fitz" is coming to the Chester Playhouse
this Friday at 7:30 pm. This band presents a program of music and dance
which reflects their distinct Canadian culture, namely the rich
tradition of Canadian old-time fiddling and Ottawa-Valley step dancing.
These
spirited young performers are noted for their polished performances and
provide wholesome, captivating entertainment for a diverse audience.
This
Saturday there is a breakfast at the Chester Legion from 7:30 - 10:30
am. Eggs any way, French toast, hash browns, beans, bacon, sausage,
toast, tea/coffee and juice.
This Saturday "Going Coastal"
is having a little party from 1-4pm at their shop across from the
Fo'c'sle Pub. Check out the artwork while sitting on their amazing
furniture. This shop is a true gem.
Get the turkey baster out -
it's Thanksgiving. Organize the bread for sandwiches and claim the dark
meat before anyone else gets dibs. A note to the wise: you might want to
get the bird cooked before the power goes out if Hurricane Matthew gets this far.
