Planning has begun for the Chase Canada Day celebrations to be held Sunday July 1st, 2012.
The next planning meeting is Monday, April 2 at 4:30 p.m. at the Village of Chase municipal office.
Canada Day 2011 was a tremendous success. ‘Children’ of all ages enjoyed the pancake breakfast, parade, boat rides, food, games, cake, music and fireworks.
Many volunteers are needed to assist with organizing and producing this celebration of our nation’s birthday.
Girl Guides
The Chase Guides held a dog parade and show on Feb. 18 at Chase Home Hardware. There were prizes awarded for best outfit, best trick, most obedient and cutest pet.
The event raised $63 for the Canadian World Friendship Fund, which helps Guiding countries in need. For more information about Guiding in Chase, call Natalie at 250-574-9524 or Janie at 250-679-3094.
Coffee house
On Saturday March 16, the Celista Coffeehouse was the place to be entertained for sure. According to organizer Willy Gaw, “The Wild Oaks” made a surprise appearance, along with Blu and Kelly Hopkins and Dennis Severing.
A Million Dollars in Pennies had to cancel at the last minute due to a recording session in Las Vegas with Tom T. Hall.
Goes to show once again the calibre of first-class entertainment we are able to see at area coffeehouses.
Next Celista Coffeehouse date is April 20 at 7 p.m.
