On Saturday, May 26 the Stanley Complex in Varna will just be hopping as the Blyth Festival Singers present “Broadway, Brass and Blues.” The annual cabaret dinner and concert will highlight some of Broadway’s greatest show tunes. Those in attendance will also hear the wonderful vocal stylings of 20- year-old Anne Potter. Potter hails from Goderich, where she grew up with interests in theatre and music. She has performed in many competitions for both acting and singing, and is now in her second year at Sheridan College, where she studies musical theatre performance. She is delighted to be able to share her music with you. Rounding up the evening’s entertainment is the Goderich-based Suncoast Brass. After some urgings of trombonist Jim Hamilton to “get something going,” the Suncoast Brass was formed in the fall of 2010. Hugh McGregor, Al Mullin and Shelly Johnson took up his challenge and the group started weekly rehearsals. For many years Jim has been acquiring and arranging a lot of brass quartet and quintet music and every rehearsal brought forth more arrangements. Soon the “book” had almost 100 pieces. The quartet has played Goderich’s Harbour Park, and Courthouse gazebo, and has twice participated as part of the Stratford Concert Band’s summer concerts. There have also been two concerts at Maitland Manor. Both Al and Hugh are retired GDCI music teachers and Shelly is the current music teacher there. Nancy Ross, who replaced Jim Hamilton this year, teaches music in Wingham. Says Al Mullin, with tongue firmly in cheek, “We all like the colour blue, long walks on the beach in the moonlight, but not together and taking ourselves very seriously.” In addition to the Singers’ dinner and cabaret concert, a silent auction is also on offer. Tickets are $25 and children, 12 and under, can get in for only $12. Tickets are available at The Blyth Festival Box Office at 519-523-9300, at The Dutch Store, Clinton; The Village Bookshop, Bayfield; The Citizen office in Brussels and at the Livery in Goderich, or from any Blyth Festival Singer. Get your tickets early as this is often a sold-out performance. The Blyth Festival Singers are pleased to have 104.9 The Beach as their media sponsor. Continued from page 6 successful day for tourism operators in and around Huron County. We often take things for granted in this world. It is often assumed that someone is simply doing their job. The skills and professionalism Cindy, Jenna, Brittany, and Marie, and their colleagues, bring to the County of Huron, and in their partnership with the tourism industry, continue to be essential to the success and growth of tourism in Huron. But they are doing much more than just their jobs. They go above and beyond, at all times, even if quitting time is long past. I hope the residents of the county will join the Huron Tourism Association Board of Directors in expressing thanks for their hard work. Sincerely, Tim Cumming, President, Huron Tourism Association Team appreciated in Huron tourism Blyth Festival Singers to perform in Varna Making an impact Caleigh Hopper, a student at East Wawanosh Public School, was one of the many students at the Wingham campus of Maitland River Elementary School on May 8 for a transition event involving five different local schools.
