November already…

November 4, 2009

свети атанасвикматрациWow. It’s hard to believe that November is here. With it comes the getting ready for Christmas season. Many stores are showing off Christmas displays now.
Kids are compiling their wish lists… we’re decorating our homes… we’re doing some shopping and hiding stuff away… the list goes on…

The Festival of Northern Lights kicks off later this month on November 20th with the opening ceremonies at 6:00 pm at the Queen’s Park Bandshell. The festival runs daily from 5:00 – 11:00 pm from November 20 to January 3rd. Check their website for events and celebrations.

On Saturday, November 21, Santa makes his way to Owen Sound for the Owen Sound Kiwanis Santa Claus Parade at 10:00 am Downtown Owen Sound. For info. call Cheryl Govier (519)371-4717.

That’s not all… there’s shopper’s nights and parades in various communities around Grey Bruce, Christmas bazaars and sales, concerts, and so much more. It’s such a great time of the year. Enjoy!

Another Fabulous House Concert

September 29, 2009

The beer was on ice, the freshly picked veggies were all washed and sliced, the cookies were baked and the coffee was brewed, the house was packed… the House Concert was ready to start…
Last Saturday night Charles Glasspool and the Big Love rocked the house to raise funds to finish their first EP “Mudtown”. It was an amazing concert with great original music. If you missed it, be sure to check out some highlights of the evening.

The Silent Film Ensemble – Roxy Fundraiser

September 23, 2009

The fundraiser came about by thinking of doing something special for the Silent Film Ensemble’s first anniversary. We started with “Haxan: Witchcraft through the Ages” last year on Halloween and have done a total of 5 films since (Haxan, Nanook of the North, the Passion of Joan of Arc, The Seashell and the Clergyman – a short film -, and Man with a Movie Camera). We also wanted to do something that celebrated the history of cinema in Owen Sound and the Roxy is Owen Sound’s oldest, still operating theatre (although, it is no longer a full-time cinema).

Saturday, October 17, 2009 – 7 p.m. at the Roxy in Owen Sound.

“The Kid”, starring Charlie Chaplin, with an original live soundtrack by the Silent Film Ensemble. http://www.myspace.com/silentfilmensemble

This exciting event will also be featuring three original opening silent shorts by local film-makers, local food from Around the Sound Market and the Rocky Raccoon Cafe, & “A History of Cinema in Owen Sound” Photo Display courtesy of Fotoart and the J. James photo collection.

“The Kid” was Charlie Chaplin’s first feature length film. It follows Chaplin in his famous ‘Tramp’ role as he raises an mistakenly orphaned boy; the kid (Jackie Coogan). The film is a classic of comedy and tragedy, mixing Chaplin’s ability to make an audience laugh and brought to the point of tears. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kid_(1921_film)

Put on with the generous support of:

FindItGreyBruce.com, Around the Sound Market, Bayshore Broadcasting, Rocky Raccoon Cafe, Fotoart, Kiwanis Owen Sound, Reel Hollywood Video, Fromager Music, The Downtown Bookstore, The Instant Print Shop, The Bean Cellar, The Owen.com.
