Discover the locales that host the shows – through unique opportunities like dinners, art shows, walking tours and even a boat cruise. We’re adding more to our community events portion of Small Halls every day!
An additional event was just added last week for the Winchester show: local wine tasting! Before Kathleen Edwards takes the stage at the Winchester United Church (sold out show), Blue Gypsy Wines just down the road in Oxford Mills is hosting a fruit wine tasting for $5/person, which includes a souvenir wine glass. Look at the photos – just beautiful! Then, head over to the United Church beginning at 5:30 p.m. as it will host the annual Harvest Dinner. The cost is $16/person and 100 dinners will be provided. Tempt your taste buds with turkey, dressing potatoes vegetables and desserts! Please reserve your spot in advance by contacting Linda at 613-774-2512.
In the same vein, we’re getting set for a big pre-show meal announcement at Kilmaurs tomorrow. Stay tuned! (We’re keeping you in suspense…)
A few more shows sold out online this week – namely Lindi Ortega in Tamworth and also Colter Wall in McDonald’s Corners, with local opener, Henry Norwood. Psst! There are still a handful of local tickets left for the Colter Wall show – available only at the Hill General Store in McDonald’s Corners! Go get ‘em! Explore more shows here.
