Steve Ritchie: “A WONDERFUL EVENING OF ASTRONOMY Tuesday night at the Owen Sound Soccer Complex. Thanks to John Hlynialuk for the idea of holding a lunar eclipse night. As well as John, we had Dean MacDonaldl, Ken Pituley, Richard Suchow , Lorraine Rodgers, Keith Fawcett and Owen Sound Sidewalk Astronomy who all brought gear and shared views of not only the eclipse but also Saturn. I'm guessing over 50 people came by over the course of about 4 hours.” Photo credit: John Hlynialuk.

Theatre lovers, rejoice! While autumn ends golf season and lazy days at the beach, it brings with it a whole new season of Owen Sound Little Theatre and shows at The Roxy.

In this submission, Emma McConachie-Anderson gives us a peek at the upcoming playbill.
