Buddy Holly & Rockabilly Riot Live

2016-06-28_205218

Chaffeys Locks on July 23rd and Westport Heritage day July 16th (11-2). Its time for some Rockabilly!

Buddy Holly Live! members Dave Bull (Buddy), Marty Crapper (Joe B.) and Stuart Pike (Jerry Allison) have graced stages in Ontario and New York from Collingwood to Sudbury to Cornwall and all points in between. Their brand of realism, vintage clothing and instruments, amplifiers, Texan drawl, stories and musicianship will leave you wanting more! Light-hearted and at times hilarious treatment of what it would have been like in the heyday of Buddy Holly and the Crickets (1958). Since 1999, the original members have perfected and now updated their highly successful theatre show to permit a “dance band” version of the band. This adds a whole new dimension to their show with the addition of other rockabilly greats like Carl Perkins, Bill Haley, Eddie Cochran, Johnny Cash, Stray Cats and the swinging Brian Setzer – Swinging Rockabilly and Buddy Holly! No matter what kind of music you like, a night out with Rockabilly Riot will be like no other… memorable and like travelling back in time for a couple of hours of great music and fun! Warning: spontaneous eruptions of laughter, singing and dancing are likely every show!

Mother’s Day – May 8

2

A popular day for gifts of flowers and greeting cards.

Many Canadians celebrate Mother’s Day by showing their appreciation for mothers or mother figures. The Mother’s Day date in Canada is on the second Sunday of May each year.

What Do People Do?

Many people in Canada express their gratitude towards mothers and mother figures on Mother’s Day. It is the time for people to thank mothers and mother figures who took the time care for them and help them through life’s challenges.

Carnations are a popular Mother’s Day symbol in both Canada and the United States. Some people may choose to wear a carnation as a brooch on Mother’s Day. However, other flowers are also given to mothers or mother figures to symbolize one’s love and appreciation for them.

Westport Ontario – An Exciting Place to Visit!

Thank you to everyone who posted their favourite things to do in Westport back in August. We had many responses and based on the ideas presented we have a surprise coming to everyone next summer!

I am pleased to announce the winner. Everyone posted so many great posts!
The winner is Tina & Chloe. Tina & Chloe wrote:

“Our favourite thing to do is to browse the shops. Our favourite being the Rock Shop where my daughter (6) is fascinated and the owner indulges her with all the info on the rocks, we then like to relax at the Cove. Although last time was not so relaxing as there was sudden summer storm that came on suddenly throwing rain on us mid starters. Just as we went indoors a gust of wind blew the parasols down the street. What an adventure! We loved it! My daughter always talks about it when we go back to the Cove – I think she kind of wishes we could have the drama over again. – TC”

Tina was very excited to have won and is excited to have an excuse to return to the Cove for dinner.

Thank you again to all wrote and generously expressed their favourite things to do in Westport.
