WALLACEBURG ARTS: Summer concerts scheduled in the region

Well, it appears summer has finally decided to pay us a visit. 

Of course, we are Canadian, so that means we have already begun complaining about the heat and the bugs. Traditions are important!  

WALLACEBURG ARTS: Summer concerts scheduled in the region Back to video

Joni and I have had a full couple of weeks since my last column. We spent about 10 days visiting our niece and nephew, Laura and Joel. 

Regular readers will recall that they live just outside Ottawa in Quebec and Joni and I try to get up a couple times a year to visit. We enjoy helping them with a few odd jobs around their place, and we always seem to find time for a few memorable encounters with nature. 

This visit was particularly cool as we had the opportunity to watch a beaver family that had built a lodge next door. We watched the parents and two babies swimming around in the bay at the edge of the property. Not so fun for the neighbours as the beavers had created their lodge under their dock.  

While we were there, I called into CKXS in Wallaceburg on June 9, exactly one year before BandTogether, to connect with Chatham Concert Band Maestro Vaughn Pugh, who has led the ensemble for more than 40 years. 

Vaughn was at the station drawing the early bird winner for a fundraiser for the BandTogether concert. Congratulations to Earl Morwood from Bothwell on........
