June event!

We have an exciting June event planned… Join us on Saturday, June 17 for a fun-filled day of theatre, wine, food, and music.
 
We will start the day at Riverside United Church at 12:30 p.m. We will travel via coach bus to the Upper Canada Playhouse where we will see the matinee performance of Moving In, a world premier comedy by Canada’s favourite playwright, Norm Foster. After the play we’ll venture (weather allowing) to the park by the St. Lawrence for an ice cream treat and (if you wish) a short walk.
 
Then we’ll move to StoneCropAcres Winery for a wine tasting and dinner. You will choose (and pay for) your own dinner and drinks, but the tasting is included in the day. Please note, this is the 2022 menu and that prices may change slightly by June (we will supply the update when it is ready, the winery has just reopened for the 2023 season).
 
Then we’ll stay at the winery for a concert performance by Kelli Trottier. Kelli has toured North America and beyond as a virtuoso fiddler where her vocals and step dancing were also considered highlights of every performance. As well as being nominated three times for fiddle player of the Year by the Canadian Country Music Association, Kelli has been inducted into the Glengarry Celtic Music Hall of Fame, the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame, and the North American Fiddlers’ Hall of Fame. She has played fiddle for the NHL, our military in Alert and the Middle East and several times for the late Sir Sean Connery. Kelli Trottier is a triple threat and an unforgettable performer. After the show, we’ll head back to the church to claim your cars. The performance, weather allowing, will be outside so you will need to bring a lawn chair (if you don’t have one, let us know and we’ll bring one for you) and maybe a cozy lap blanket. And bug spray is always a good idea in the spring! If the weather isn’t co-operating, the concert will be held indoors in the winery’s fabulous barn.
 
Included in your registration is: Bus transportation, theatre ticket, winery tasting, concert ticket, ice cream treat and a small snack on the way home. You will only pay for your dinner at the winery and drinks during the concert. Please remember to bring your own drinks for the bus ride.
 
We think this is going to be a wonderfully fun day and we hope to see many of you. We have thirty tickets in total for this event. Currently, they are being offered to members only at a subsidized cost of $80 per ticket. Your club has sponsored this trip by paying for the bus. Membership has its rewards! Please send an email, and follow payment directions below, to register for this super-fun event!
