On this 347th day of January, we don’t want anyone forgetting what it looks like under all the white stuff. Enjoy a moment on the bench by the boat launch for a few before you have to brave the real world today.

If you’re looking to get out of the house, there’s lots happening this weekend, including:

  • Prelude to a Kiss at the Roxy Theatre at 7:30pm, a play by Craig Lucas directed by Kevin Haxell (Thurs, Fri, Sat)

  • Folk For Heritage, a celebration of Waterfront Heritage with Larry Jensen, Richard Yves Sitoski, and Trish and Dave Hawkins, 7 p.m. at the Owen Sound Legion, tickets $25 (Sat)

  • Reggaddiction Bob Marley Birthday Tribute at Heartwood Concert Hall, 8:30pm start time (Sat)

  • Solidarity Sundays - Coffee, Crafts & Convo at the Harmony Centre from 10:30am-12pm. All ages, sharing potluck. (Sun)

P.S. That’s just a small taste… full subscribers see the next 4-5 days of events in every morning brief, and can see events months ahead on the website!
