The Community Waterfront Heritage Centre (CWHC) is getting into the festive spirit early with a weekend of Christmas fun on November 16th and 17th. Two different events being held on the weekend will help people get into the spirit of the coming winter, with a Christmas Sale on the 16th followed by a dance party the very next day!
The CWHC Christmas Sale is being held at the CWHC (1155 1st Ave. W, Owen Sound) on November 16th. We will once again have the Georgian Bay Garden Club selling decorative Christmas urns and swags on the train platform, with gently used Christmas decorations available on Coach 4884. In addition to the sale, the museum will be open with free admission for the day. Doors open for the sale at 9:30am. The Garden Club will be selling their wares until 1:00pm, and the museum will be open until 3:00pm.
The next day, the museum is putting on a Country Christmas Dance Party at the Owen Sound Legion (1450 2nd Ave W, Owen Sound). The Ridge River Ramblers will be taking the stage from 2:00pm to 5:00pm. Doors open for the dance at 1:00pm. Tickets to the Dance are $20 and can be purchased at Bayshore Country Feeds (1304 2nd Ave E, Owen Sound) or at the door on the day of the dance.
The Country Christmas Dance Party is funded in part by the Government of Canada’s New Horizons for Seniors Program as part of our “Social Prescriptions Engage Cultural Seniors” (SPECS) program.
The goal of SPECS is to provide programs and activities that are accessible to Seniors. While this program focuses on activities that are accessible to seniors, most programs, including this dance, are not restricted to those that fall into that demographic.
The activities involved in this weekend of events are also being supported by Owen Sound Legion Memorial Branch 6, who are providing the space for the event, and Bayshore Country Feeds who are supporting the CWHC by helping us sell tickets. We are grateful to all of our supporters.
