A busy weekend coming up: start with the Bear River Fire Dept breakfast, then go to the Cornwallis Park-wide sale and garden club sale. On to Weymouth for the Pickerel Fishing and Vintage Farms for another sale. In the evening go to a Glow in the Dark party at Church Point or return to Bear River for a Cèilidh Dance.

After this week there are lots of new events from the libraries, which provide learning about cybersecurity as well as children's activities. A new venue I have added is the Church Point Club, which has music events, crafts and games nights.

All posters are on our website and in Photo Albums on our Facebook page.

She needs nothing more than a little inspiration to invent comical characters: a mischievous baby, an endearing shark, a clementine doing a striptease… With the help of cameras and mirrors, her enchanting, inventive, and unbridled little world is projected onto a giant screen. A surreal, funny, and breathtaking universe.
