Mudtown Events This Weekend

May 29, 2007

What began as a mission church in the “Mudtown” section of Owen Sound, and had a long life as the regional Scout Shop, is now Mudtown Pottery Shop and Studio, with an off-hours life as one of the most delightful acoustic music venues in the area.
Dulcimerhead
This weekend Mudtown will live up to its eclectic history for the select audiences lucky enough to get tickets to two unique events.

Saturday the space will open at 5:30 for henna and art, with meditation at 7:30 and dulcimer music with Dulcimerhead at 8:00. Lest anyone get too relaxed, the twirling diva Vita Bowen will also be part of the evening.
