receives tourism award
Starting June 24, and continuing
every Thursday evening from 7 - 8
p.m. until Labour Day at the North
Huron Museum at 273 Josephine St.
in Wingharn. there will be music at
the museum.
The North Huron Museum's
curator. Jodi Jerome, is looking for
local musical performers to donate
and share their talent with the public
for an hour on a Thursday night in
the summer. The backyard of the
museum is a perfect amphitheatre
and a lovely place to listen to music.
It is the curator's dream to re-invent
the summer concerts that took place
in the Wingham park on Friday
nights at the turn of the century.
Singers, rock bands, old tyme
fiddlers, pianists, classical players.
folk singers, pipe bands, brass bands.
flutists. guitar players, drummers.
jazz musicians, alternative bands
and others are welcome to a perform.
Call Jerome at 357-1096 to book
your spot this summer.
Residents, visitors, friends, and
family are all invited to the museum
for some music. No charge - just a
passing of the hat to support the
museum. The show will go on even
in the rain. If that happens., the shovv
will move inside.
Bring a blanket or a lawn chair.
