About The Long Weekend…

May 17th, 2013

We’ll be open as usual on Saturday May 18th and Sunday May 19th, but on Monday May 20th we’ll be closed in order to celebrate that most Ontarian of rituals:  the May Two-Four weekend.  So… whose cottage are we going to?

Have a great long weekend! Remember: the water’s REALLY cold, and only morons drink and drive.

ChiSeries Workshop With Heather Spears

May 3rd, 2013

The wonderful folks at ChiSeries have put together another great workshop, to be held here on Saturday May 25th. This one’s for writers, illustrators, and anyone interested in drawing.  “Attention and the Lazy Brain” will be hosted by award-winning Canadian writer/artist Heather Spears (visiting from Copenhagen!), and followed by a presentation of drawings.
If you’re interested, the details and sign up information can be found here.  Workshop spaces are limited, and tend to go quickly.
