Fred Eaglesmith will bring his show to
Clinton on May 11 for a Mother's Day
matinee.
One of the few remaining full-
time travelling rock'n'roll pro-
ductions, The Fred Eaglesmith
Show has performed extensively
in North America and Europe.
But this April, Juno Award win-
ner Eaglesmith plays a series of
intimate shows in his native
rural Ontario to celebrate the
release of his 20th album
"Tambourine':
Eaglesmith's songs have been
covered by some of the biggest
names in American country
music including Alan Jackson,
Toby Keith and Miranda Lam-
bert and the band has been
musical guests on David Letter-
man. Eaglesmith, whose songs
were featured in the play "Dear
Johnny Deere'; has spent over 30
years touring the world writing
songs and collecting road sto-
ries. He brings it together with
his six -piece band for a unique
music/comedy evening with a
twist.
Each show boasts a Charity
Pie Auction. The rapid-fire auc-
tioneer's chant comes effort-
lessly to Eaglesmith as he spurs
the audience to bid on a home -
baked pie that stirs up memories
of farmhouses and spring plant-
ing. In 2013, the band donated
over $26,000 to Operation Smile,
a charity that helps treat facial
deformities such as cleft palates
in third world countries.
"We all feel satisfied and
rewarded when we can do some-
thing fun and simple to make a
big change in a kid's life," says
Eaglesmith. "Everyday we get to
live the kind of life we want to
and we want to share this kind of
freedom with others."
Despite international acclaim
and a world class show, you're
more likely to see Eaglesmith
playing to 150 of his fans in a
rural community hall or Royal
Canadian Legion rather than a
large theatre or concert venue.
Likewise, it's more probable to
hear about his next live show via
a stenciled roadside sign or sim-
ple black and white posters, and
to find Fred sleeping in his bus
in a parking lot over a 5 -star
hotel.
The Fred Eaglesmith Show
complete night of original music
and jokes plays the following
venues. Tickets online $25 at
www.fredeaglesmith.com or $30
at the door.
The Fred Eaglesmith Show
will roll into town Sun., May 11
at the Clinton Legion for a Moth-
er's Day matinee. Doors open at
2 p.m. and show starts at 3 p.m

Health Unit looking for public
input on active transportation
master plan
Public meetings set for
early -May in Goderich
and Clinton
The Huron County Health Unit is
looking for your input on an active
transportation plan for Huron
County.
Active transportation is any
method of going from one place to
another using your own body - this
could include walking, cycling, kay-
aking, or cross-country skiing.
An active transportation plan is a
long-term strategy to create envi-
ronments that encourage people to
move more.
"This is an opportunity for people
to talk about what they would like to
see in their communities in terms of
active transportation, both in the
near and distant future," said Laura
